QuadroM32x Manual I: Installation Guide Step 1: Installing the Quadro Step 1: Installing the Quadro Networking Overview To establish a connection between the Internet and your local area network (LAN), an ac- cess router is needed. The Quadro IP PBX can serve, among other functions, as an access router and will perform the task of connecting your LAN, or a group of one or more PCs, to the wide area network (WAN) or the Internet.
Quadro can be connected through its WAN port directly to one of the router's LAN ports and will get an IP address from the router. By default, the Quadro acts as a DHCP client on the WAN port. The IP phones are placed on the WAN side of the QuadroM32x, connected to the company LAN.
