6.3 Control Unit Power Up

This procedure starts a new IP Office control unit not connected to any LAN. In this scenario the IP Office control unit will assume its default configuration settings.

Objective - To power up the IP Office control unit to a known state with a known set of defaults.

Parts and Equipment Required

• o Switched power outlet socket.

• o IP Office Control Unit.

• o Locale Specific Power Cord.

Procedure

1. Remove the control unit from its box and check its condition. Check that an external power supply unit has been included with the control unit.

2. Connect the external power supply unit to the control unit.

3. Connect the power cord from the power supply outlet to the external power supply unit.

• Power cords must not be attached to the building surface or run through walls, ceilings, floors and similar openings. Installation measures must be taken to prevent physical damage to the power supply cord,

including proper routing of the power supply cord and provision of a socket outlet near the fixed equipment or positioning of the equipment near a socket outlet.

4. Switch on power to the control unit.

5. Observe the center LED on the front of the control unit. Initially this LED will be red. After approximately 10 seconds it should change to green. During this time other LED's may flash as the unit goes through its power on self test cycle.

IP Office Default Settings

The following are the basic default configuration settings for an IP Office system.

System Name MAC address of the control unit.

System Password password

License Server IP Address 255.255.255.255

LAN* LAN1 LAN2/WAN

IP address 192.168.42.1. 192.168.43.1

IP Mask 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0

DHCP Mode Server Server

No of DHCP IP Addresses 200. 200.

*See Default DHCP/Data Settings detail below.

• Default DHCP/Data Settings

When a defaulted IP Office control unit is switched on, it requests IP address information from a DHCP Server on the network. This operation will occur whether the LAN cable is plugged in or not.

• If a DHCP server responds within approximately 10 seconds, the control unit defaults to being a DHCP client and uses the IP address information supplied by the DHCP server.

• If no DHCP Server responds, the control unit defaults to being the DHCP server for the LAN using the following settings:

• For its LAN1 it allocates the IP address 192.168.42.1 and IP Mask 255.255.255.0. It supports 200 DHCP clients using the addresses range 192.168.42.2 and 192.168.42.201, the IP Mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway address 192.168.42.1 (the Control Unit's LAN1 address).

• For its LAN2 if supported, it allocates the IP address 192.168.43.1 and IP Mask 255.255.255.0.

• Note that the IP Office does not check that these addresses are valid and or available on the network.

• This mode of operation will persist for subsequent power ups, until a config save occurs due to one of the following

• The unit performs its automatic midnight backup.

• A configuration is merged using IP Office Manager.

• A soft reboot is performed using IP Office Manager.

• A software upgrade is performed.

6.4 Connecting the Manager PC

At this stage we will directly connect the Manager PC to the new IP Office control unit. For this the PC will need to be set to a fixed IP address in the same subnet range as the IP Office control unit's default address

(192.168.42.1/255.255.255.255).

Objective - Physically connecting the Manager PC and the IP Office without needing to adjust or configure any intervening equipment.

Parts and Equipment Required

• o Manager PC.

• o LAN Cable.

• o IP Office Small Office Edition, IP406 V2 and IP500 control units:

A standard RJ45-RJ45 LAN cable can be used.

• o IP412 Control Unit:

A RJ45-RJ45 cross-over LAN cable is required.

Procedure: Direct Connection to a Defaulted IP Office Control Unit

1. Check that the TCP/IP properties for the Manager PC's Local Area Network connection are set as follow:

• Fixed IP address: 192.168.42.203

• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

• Default gateway: 192.168.42.1.

2. Connect the LAN cable from the PC's LAN port the LAN 1 port on the IP Office control unit.

3. Check that the orange LED lamp on the IP Office LAN port is on. The green LED may also be flickering as it indicates traffic across the LAN connection.

4. Select Start | Run and enter cmd.

5. In the command window that appears enter ping 192.168.42.1. The results should show a number of ping replies from the IP Office. This confirms basic communication between the Manager PC and the IP Office.

6. If there are no ping replies enter ipconfig. The results should list the IP address settings of the Manager PC as required above and with no mention of DHCP being used. Enter exit.

7. Check the cable connection.

6.5 Receiving a Configuration (Pre 3.2)

The following is the normal procedure for receiving a copy of the IP Office configuration from a new or defaulted control unit running pre-3.2 IP Office core software.

Objective - This process tests the communication between the Manager application and the IP Office control unit.
