Installation and Commissioning
Commissioning
Opening the Configuration Manager at First Commissioning
Configuring the PBX using a PC is done using the configuration manager integrated in the PBX.
This can be accessed via the IP address of the PBX. The IP address to be used depends on
your connection and network environment.
• If the PBX is not connected to a router but is connected directly to a single PC which
receives its IP address automatically (default setting on Windows and Mac OS X), you can
access the PBX via the permanent IP address 169.254.1.240 from the APIPA address
range.
• If the PBX is connected to a router that works as a DHCP server and allocates IP addresses
to the devices connected (default setting on most routers), you can access the PBX via two
IP addresses:
– Via the permanent IP address 169.254.1.240 from the APIPA address range.
– Via the IP address allocated by the DHCP server.
Note: If the permanent IP address from the APIPA address range is not
working, you will first have to learn the IP address allocated by the DHCP
server. If the UPnP service is installed and enabled on the PC (e. g. on
Windows 8/8.1), the PBX can be found and selected in the network
environment as "Auerswald PBX" device. Alternatively, you can use the
programm PBX Find from Auerswald. You can download PBX Find from the
Internet (see www.auerswald.de/service).
Alternatively, you can connect a CLIP-capable analogue telephone and query
the IP address by entering the character string ##8*941#.
Important: f you want to operate the PBX in a network where IP addresses
are allocated permanently, the IP configuration of the PBX must be adapted
for operation in the network. For this purpose, you must first create one of the
connection and network environments described above. It is not possible to
change the network configuration without prior activation of the system.
1. Start a browser (for example, Mozilla Firefox).
2. Enter the IP address of the PBX in the address field of the browser. Example for
entering the permanent IP address: https://169.254.1.240.
Since the PBX forces an HTTPS connection, your browser will provide a safety
warning (because of the missing safety certificate).
3. If necessary, transmit the safety certificate to your working environment (user and
browser profile).
