• The configuration of the product is made via an integrated web server whose pages

Manager) is available in English and German. If you are not familiar with these
languages and the technical terms, please consult a specialist who is linguistically
and professionally qualified.

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 5x00"
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
