4.1.1
Configuring the IP
IP configuration for the DVX-1000 board can be static or through DHCP. The default
factory setting for IP is 10.0.0.1. To bring the board up for the first time; configure
an IP for the board from the CLI interface. Subsequently, all configurations can be
done through the web interface by accessing the board's configured IP
4.1.1.1
Configuring the IP address automatically using DHCP
DVX-1000 can be configured to get it's IP through DHCP. To enable this, select DHCP
and click on Apply. Please note that on some browsers, redirection to the new
IP is not possible. In this case, the new IP has to be ascertained from the CLI
interface and the corresponding web page should be accessed.
4.1.1.2
Configuring the IP address manually.
Assigning a static IP for the DVX-1000 is the recommended method for IP
configuration as it is advisable to have the call server work on a fixed IP address. To
configure a static IP for DVX-1000, click on the system configuration link. Now,
under IP configuration, select static and enter a static IP, subnet mask and gateway.
Click 'Apply'. Please note that on some browsers, redirection to the new IP is
not possible. In this case simply access the new static IP that you have now
configured for the board from the web.
4.1.2
Configuring the DNS server address.
DVX-1000 has a DNS client built in that will resolve hostnames accessing the DNS
server that is configured. To set the DNS server that is relevant to your network,
access the system configuration page; modify the primary and secondary DNS
servers and click apply.
4.1.3
Setting the system time.
DVX-1000 can either be configured to get its time through manual configuration or
through NTP. It ships with a factory default setting of 1st of January 2005 10.10
a.m. A large fraction of the call server data is dependent on the system time.
This data includes registrations, feature time settings and call detail records (CDR)
amongst others. Changing the time configuration has to be done with a lot of
caution. Changing the time to a time prior to the current time would be a malicious
attempt to invalidate the call detail records and extend registrations. The
administrator should be wary of this. Changing the time to one in the future should
be done taking into account the fact that current registrations may expire at the new
time specified and hence phones may have to re-register to get the calls started
4.1.3.1
Setting the system time manually.
In order to set the time manually, access the system configuration page. Under time
configuration, choose manual and modify the time to the required value. Now click
apply. The time should now be set to the new one.
4.1.3.2
Automatically configuring the system time using NTP
DVX-1000 can synchronize its system time with an NTP server that has been
configured. This server could either be a local LAN NTP server, that in turn
synchronizes with a stratum 1 or stratum 2 NTP server, or directly a stratum1 or 2
