Information About The Network Connection; Opening The Configuration Manager - Auerswald COMpact 5000 Instructions Manual

Information about the Network Connection

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:
1. Via the permanent IP address 169.254.1.240 from the APIPA address range.
2. 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. You have the following options:
• If the UPnP service is installed and activated on the PC (e. g. on Windows 8), the PBX can
be found and selected in the network environment as "COMpact 5000" device.
• You can use a network scanner (f. e. Angry IP Scanner).
Important: If you wish to operate the PBX in a network where IP addresses are allocated
permanently, you must first adapt the IP configuration of the PBX 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 by telephone without
prior activation of the system.

Opening the Configuration Manager

Requirements:
• PC with a min. screen resolution of 1024 x 768
• Recommended Browser: Mozilla Firefox (current version), Google Chrome (current
version)
1. 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).
2. If necessary, transmit the safety certificate to your working environment (user and
browser profile).
3. Click with wizard (recommended).
4. Use the configuration wizard to carry out the system activation and configure the basic
settings.
