Introduction Router of the PABX elmeg T444 / elmeg T484 The PABX elmeg T444 / elmeg T484 is equipped with an integrated router. You can provide access to the Internet and network several PC via this router. What is a router? A router allows LAN clients (computers, PC within a network) of one network (LAN) to obtain access to a different network, for example Internet.
Introduction Dial-in into the LAN (RAS) · Using xDSL (for example: SDSL) in conjunction with a DSL modem that is compatible with your ISP with a set, public IP address. These connections require the public IP address that you have been assigned, the IP address of the next gateway (next hop) and the IP address for the name server of your provider.
Direct connection (DHCP) Introduction DHCP server and IP address allocation PCs can be provided with a major portion of the configuration required for LAN and Internet access via the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). The DHCP server integrated into the PABX is capable of supplying corre- sponding configurations to up to 100 PCs (clients).
Introduction Router functions IP address for the DNS server (PABX). The PABX system also acts as a DNS proxy in place of the ISP DNS server. What are IP addresses and subnetwork masks With the initial settings IP addresses and subnetwork masks are already set for the PABX system router. Both of these values are each 4 bytes in length.
Router functions Introduction connection the B channel reverts automatically to use for the Internet connection. This function is available for inco- ming and outgoing voice links. This performance feature requires that the ISDN Speed Manager be installed, or that Internet access is made via the router! The Speed Manager is included in the T-Online installation.
Introduction Router functions own queries. The proxy then takes the response from the external network and forwards it to the LAN client that pla- ced the original query. In addition, the result from the query is stored for a defined time (configurable) to answer any subsequent queries of the same type.

Router functions Introduction Portmapping You wish to access your PC from an external location via Internet. Normally, access via the firewall should be prohi- bited. When you use port mapping, access to a router port that you have enabled is permitted from an external locati- on.
Introduction Router functions LAN-TAPI The package includes a program called »TAPI for LANs« for use in your network. This software can be installed on any PC in the network. This gives you the possibility of running your TAPI application from a central location via an interface, i.
Address assignment by DHCP -Recommended configuration - (Default setting) Configuration examples Configuration examples Address assignment by DHCP -Recommended configuration - (Default setting) Address assignment via DHCP is the easiest configuration method for the PABX system and at the clients (PCs). You can configure a LAN client in the network such that it automatically receives its IP address from a DHCP server from the PABX system on startup.

Configuration examples Address assignment by DHCP -Recommended configuration - (Default setting) Note The network adapter connected to the PABX system must be linked to the TCP/IP protocol, which is a component of Windows. You may have to manually add this protocol. The network adapter may only be linked to the T-DSL / PPP0E protocol, especially if a stand-alone version of the T-DSL driver has been installed.

Things to note for this configuration. PABX: You can de-activate the DHCP server for the PABX system using the »Professional Configurator« program. Note You may have to adapt the IP addresses and subnetworks of the PABX system to the settings present on the LAN clients (PCs).

Other methods of connection or applications may also be affected by these changes. In the event that your network settings have already been changed contact your system administrator.

Checking the TCP/IP Configuration Checking the TCP/IP Configuration The examples described below are base on the recommended network configuration with automatic address alloca- tion. What this means is that the LAN clients get their IP address via DHCP (»IP address fetched automatically«) and that the DHCP server in the PABX system is switched on (initial setting).

Current IP address of the pabx as gateway, DHCP server and DNS server. · The values shown in the screen shot are set as defaults for the initial settings of the PABX system. Depen- ding on how many clients (PCs) are connected, the IP address lies within a range from 192.

Set-up and termination of an Internet connection was initiated automa- tically by the programs.

Configure firewall filters Configure firewall filters You can only configure filters in the »Professional Configurator«. User-defined filters for the router integrated into the PABX system with packet filter firewalls can be configured un- der Network / Filters. Note We recommend configuring the firewall filters with the aid of the Filter Wizard to ensure configuration(s) appro- priate for and compatible to the applications being used.
Configure firewall filters Discarding of the packet is generally a safe procedure, as only those packets for which an explicit rule (i.e. deliberately configured) exists are authorized in such a configuration. When defining the filters it is essential to take into account that basically all packets are permitted at all LAN ports (LAN1, LAN2, USB port).

Configure firewall filters Here you specify the source address for the IP packets for which this filter is valid. Take into account any potential abstractions brought about by place holders. Target address definition Here you specify the target address for the IP packets for which this filter is valid. Take into account any potential abstractions brought about by place holders.
Filter Wizard Configure firewall filters Note As a result, the PC in your LAN with the IP address 192.168.1.42 has no protection whatsoever from the firewall in your telephone system at Port 22/TCP! You can restrict access options where required if access is to always be effec- ted from an Internet connection with a set IP address (for example T-Interconnect).
