'''This page is a generic guide to installing a IPitomy PBX.'''

----

In order to install an IPitomy PBX you will need:

#PBX
#Router
#Managed Switch (Unmanaged will work but is not recommended)
#Miscellaneous CAT5e or CAT6 patch cables
#A connecion to the Internet is required for full PBX functionality 

Connection of the IP PBX requires a "clean" network and PC to access the PBX GUI (Graphical User Interface). Use of a web browser is imparative and the most fundamental element of IP PBX installation. If you are unfamiliar with browsers (MSIE, Chrome, Firefox) you should not attempt to install an IP - based product. Seek guidance and assistance from a network/PC competent individual.

Steps:

#Take it out of the box. (Everything)
#If this PBX will be installed into an existing network, determine that network configuration
##What is the LAN IP Address of the router?
##What is the DHCP Range allocation?
##What is the current QOS settings?
##What devices are currently on the network?
#Determine the network configuration
##What will be the LAN IP Addressing Scheme? 192.168.xxx.xxx, 172.16-31.xxx.xxx, or 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
##What will be the DHCP Range?
###There are some (VERY FEW) devices on the network that should have Static IP Addresses assigned. They are:
####IP PBX
####Router
####Managed Switch(es)
###All other devices should be automatically assigned IP Addresses (DHCP)
#Confirm the IP Address of the PBX
##When the IPitomy IP PBX is shipped it is shipped with an IP Address of 192.168.1.249. This can be used on most networks since most networks are configured 192.168.1.xxx
##If the IP PBX is being installed on an existing network with a different IP Addressing scheme, the PBX IP Address must be changed
###Make the following connections:
##Connect the Router to the internet
###Connect the WAN (Internet) port of the router to the Internet Service Provider INTERNET connection
##Connect the Data Swtich to the Router
###Connect one of the UPLink data ports of the Data Switch to the LAN port of the router
##Connect the PBX to the Data Switch
###The PBX can be installed on any available port of the Data Switch
##Connect the PC to the Data Switch
###The PC can be installed on any available port of the Data Switch
##Ignore the unused ports on the router
