2.4 Supported phones The back plate will also have named cutouts for all the connectors that the motherboard provides. From left to right, the connectors are: - COM port used as a serial connection to the appliance, just in case a ONSOLE certified technician needs to debug it (for simplicity reasons, appliance does not have any monitor connectors such as VGA, DVI or HDMI),... -

3. Hardware assembly Before anything could be done with the device, it must be assembled into its designated aluminium case. Tools needed for this are the Phillips screwdriver and Allen key which comes packaged with the appliance. These should be enough to work with all the screws in the appliance. -
Page 18: Preparing The Motherboard
Chapter 3. Hardware assembly There are two types of screws with differing threads used in the assembly process. Please remember where they all go. If you switch screws and use them with wrong threads, it could lead to the destruction of the threads in the holes or on the screws. -
Page 19: Securing The Motherboard
3.3 Securing the motherboard Figure 3.3: Motherboard assembly. If attaching two analog cards, first insert the mini PCI card into the left mini PCI slot, by placing the card diagonally in the slot and gently pressing downwards until you hear a click. Place the second mini PCI card the same way as the first one, into the middle/2nd mini PCI slot. -

Chapter 3. Hardware assembly While we did ensure that the case is simple as possible for handling, the part where you insert the motherboard into the case can be a bit tricky. Take the motherboard, turn its connectors to the back of the case, tilt it towards the front end of the case so you could slide it slightly under the front slotted aluminium sheet which protrudes from the bottom plate. -

DD command line tool to do so. After you download the PBXware image file from the Bicom Systems Download page, you have to raw write it to the USB memory stick either by the software mentioned above or by using the DD command line tool. -
Page 24: Installing The Software To The Device
Chapter 4. Installation cat / proc / partitions 4.1.2 Installing the software to the device After the USB stick has been prepared with the image, it is time to install the software. For this you only need the device assembled and its power supply plugged to the wall power socket. - Page 25 4.2 Mounting Figure 4.1: Attaching rack mounts. STEP 1. In the rack mount kit package, you should have received the rack mounts with their respective M3 screws. On figure 4.1 you can see how the left mount is positioned against the device.

Chapter 4. Installation enclosure, so that screw holes on the rack mounts align with holes on the vertical frames as in figure 4.2. Use the provided M3 screws and screw them into the aligned holes to attach rack mounts to the vertical frames (both sides). Figure 4.3: Rack mounted device with attached cables. - Page 27 4.2 Mounting their respective M3 screws. On figure 4.4 you can see how the brackets are positioned against the device. Use the screws to tighten the brackets to the device. Figure 4.5: Placing the device against the wall. STEP 2. Place the device with attached brackets, against the vertical surface. Depending on whether the vertical surface is a concrete wall, or made from other material, you might need to drill holes in the surface and place plastic safety jackets inside, which are needed to securely hold the screws and the device.

Network setup Developers at Bicom Systems have simplified the installation process and the usage of the device, and everything should work with least amount of work needed. Nevertheless, in cases where the IP address of the device cannot be easily retrieved from the DHCP server on premises, or the device needs to be setup with a static IP address, the deployment technician will have to use either the previously mentioned MAN ethernet port or the console/serial port. - Page 29 4.3 Network setup Figure 4.6: Ethernet ports configuration. STEP 4. First screen will show the current ethernet configuration. If you are satisfied with the current configuration, write down your LAN IP address and select Exit button. If you need to set up a static IP address, please select Next. Figure 4.7: Selecting port.
- Page 30 Chapter 4. Installation Figure 4.8: Providing static IP details. STEP 6. Please select the second option to manually adjust the IP settings. Figure 4.9: Providing static IP details. STEP 7. Please provide the static IP details that you wish the LAN port to use and confirm with Next.
- Page 31 Internet connection is crucial for the Setup Wizard configuration, as will be seen in next chapter. Bicom Systems highly recommends using the static IP address allocation, since DHCP based one has a tendency to change in situations with power failures and similar.
