IP Office Installation

Programming Tools

The IP Office supports programming through any one of it's 10/100 Base-T hub port connections. The
tools required for programming of a newly installed IP Office system are:
• PC running Windows NT, 2000, XP or ME (see Tools & Parts Required).
• PC with a LAN (NIC) card with either a fixed IP address (allocated by your system administrator)
or by using DHCP to obtain an IP address.
•
IP Office Cat. 5E patch cable (red – supplied with system see PRI/BRI ISDN Cable).
• IP Office Administration CD (supplied with system).
• IP Office Manager Application Manual (supplied on CD with system).
•
IP Office Feature Key (where software that requires a Licence Key is to be installed).
•
Note:
Once installed, the software level of all software fitted to the IP Office system can be identified.
With Manager running, use File/Advanced/Upgrade to display menu. Refer to the Manager
Application Manual for details of system configuration, software upgrade, etc.

PC to IP Office LAN Port Connection

An IP Office system, when first powered up, will scan the LAN for a DHCP server that will allocate it with
an IP address. If the IP Office system does not find a DHCP server then it will automatically become a
DHCP server itself with an IP address of 192.168.42.1. The IP Office system will allocate an IP address
to the PC if required. Initially, the IP Office system assumes that all addresses are on the local LAN and
that the PC software supplied uses broadcast to establish communication with the IP Office system.
The IP Office hub port can be connected in two ways; either directly to a PC or as part of a LAN. Both
methods use an IP Office Cat. 5E patch cable (see PRI/BRI ISDN Cable) connected between one of the
LAN hub ports on the front of the IP Office base unit and the PC.
•
Direct Connection
This method is used for local system programming directly from a PC.
• LAN Network Connection
This is the option to use for remote programming access. It will require liaison with the LAN
network manager to obtain the IP address details and to ensure that the IP traffic routing is
allowed. When connected to an IP LAN network, you must consult with the Network Manager to
obtain the required IP settings. For IP operation the IP Office requires a static IP address
including a subnet mask and default gateway value.
