Appendix 1: Key Types and Codes

This table describes the function of each key type, and how to manually configure them. It is not advised to manually configure unless the phone is in a situation where you cannot easily use the PBX to set the keys (ie: remote phones). Unless specified, the Line field when manually configuring should be set to All.

Key Type	Description
BLF	Can be set to an extension or park orbit. Pressing the key will call the extension or retrieve a call from the park orbit. When an extension is ringing the light will flash, and when an extension is connected to a call, the light will be solid. Park BLF keys will lamp when a call is parked in that particular orbit. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: BLF Label: Meaningful Descriptor Value: The extension or park orbit number to monitor Line: 1
Speed Dial	Dials the digits entered as for the Value and sends them to the PBX. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Speed dial Label: Meaningful Descriptor Value: Any number or feature code that the PBX can recognize
Park	Takes the connected call and parks it in an available orbit from 701-720, starting at the lowest available slot. When parking, the PBX will tell you audibly which orbit the call was sent to. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Park Label: Park Value: \#\#700\#
DND	Places the phone itself in a state where it will not receive calls. This does not communicate your state to the PBX (see Pause key). To configure manually, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Do Not Disturb
Blind Transfer	This key starts the transfer process and allows you to enter a transfer destination. Once entered, press Dial or wait for the digit timeout and the call will transfer. This key is most useful if a phone has no open lines to perform a transfer using the fixed key on the phone, as it does not open a new line to transfer. To configure manually, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Prefix Label: Blind Transfer Value: \#\#
Call Pickup	Allows the user to answer calls ringing direct to extensions that are in the Call Group that matches the phones Pickup Group. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Pickup Label: Meaningful Descriptor Value: 99
Voicemail	Allows the user to check their voicemail messages. User will be prompted for their password(PIN). To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Speed dial Label: Voicemail Value: 923
Voicemail Gateway	Allows the user to check any voicemail box for messages. User will be prompted for mailbox number and password(PIN). To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Speed dial Label: VM Gateway Value: 924
Record	Toggles on and off the record feature on the current active call. The file will be saved in the voicemail box for the extension, under the Work folder. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Speed dial Label: Record Value: \*\#
Fwd On	With a single press, a user can enable their unconditional forwarding. If no destination is set, you will need to define one before forwarding can be enabled. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Speed dial Label: Fwd On Value: \*91
Fwd Off	With a single press, a user can disable their unconditional forwarding. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Speed dial Label: Fwd Off Value: \*90
Set Fwd	With a singe press, a used can define their forwarding destination. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Speed dial Label: Set Fwd Value: \*92
Fwd Gateway	This takes the user to a gateway that allows them to control forwarding for extensions other than their own. User will be prompted for an extension number and password (PIN) before they can make changes. Once logged in, you can enable, disable, and set the forward destination. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Speed dial Label: Fwd Gateway Value: \*9
Intercom	This key starts the intercom process and allows you to enter an extension or group number. Once entered, press Dial or wait for the digit timeout, and the page will happen. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: Intercom Label: Intercom
Pause	Similar to the DND key, except pressing this key communicates to the PBX, and will pause you out of call queues. The key is a BLF and will lamp when the phone is paused. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: BLF Label: Pause Value: ABC<extnum> Line: 1
Day/Night BLF	When pressed, a call is established to the PBX telling the user the state of Day/Night mode override, and gives instructions on how to change the settings. If Day/Night mode is forced into night mode, the light will blink; and if forced into day mode, the light will be solid. If Day/Night mode is following the schedule the BLF will not lamp. To manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: BLF Label: Day/Night Value: ff Line: 1
Page BLF	Allows BLF monitoring of an extension, as well as one press paging to that extension. TO manually configure, log into the phone and set the key to: Type: BLF Label: Meaningful Descriptor Value: \*\*<extnum> Line: 1

APPENDIX 4: IP ADDRESSES

Determining Local Network Address (on a Microsoft? Windows? Machine)

To determine the local network address on a Microsoft⁽ Windows⁽ machine:

File:Appendicesimage007.jpg

Title and Description

STEPS:

1. Go to Start and click on Run. Type "cmd" and press Enter.
2. At the Command Prompt type "ipconfig /all" and press Enter. Windows will display the current connection details (Diagram 63). These connection details contain important information used in the setup of the IPitomy IP PBX.
3. Write the following information in the IPitomy IP PBX Installation Checklist:

• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway

Determining an Available IP Address

Adding the IPitomy IP PBX to an existing Local Area Network (LAN) requires knowing what IP address can be given to the system. Every new piece of equipment added to the network must have its own IP address. Pinging an IP address determines if an IP address is available to be used. A ping is a call to the IP address to see if it exists. If a ping gets a response then the IP address is in use.

To ping an IP address on a Windows^?-based machine already configured on the local network:

File:Appendicesimage008.jpg

Title and Description

STEPS:

1. Go to Start and click on Run. Type "cmd" and press Enter.
2. At the Command Prompt type "ping \*\[192.168.1.249\]" and press Enter. This IP Address is the IPitomy IP PBX default static IP Address. The IP Addresses you ping on your local network will be defined by your router. For example, even though the default IP Address for the IPitomy IP PBX is 192.168.1.249, the IP Addresses that you ping to determine if one is available may differ. This will be determined by your gateway (router) address.
3. If you receive a "Destination net unreachable" message like in the number \*\[192.168.1.249\] is an IP Address not in use and can be assigned to the IPitomy IP PBX.

NOTE: Sample configurations are for a Windows XP ? operating system and Linksys? router and are for demonstration purposes only. This IP Address is determined by the default gateway (router) you discovered in Determining the Local Network Address.

1. If you get a return or "Reply from \*192.168.1.249", the IP Address is in use. Continue pinging IP addresses on "\*\[192.168.1.XXX\]" that are greater than "\*\[192.168.1.249\]" until you find a "Destination net unreachable." Make a record of this IP address in the IPitomy IP PBX Installation Checklist to use later in the installation.

= =Appendix 5: DHCP Settings

Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are used to facilitate communication between equipment within a network. Each piece of equipment on a network has a unique IP address. These addresses are maintained in a list on a server (a computer that manages information traffic throughout a network). The list has both static (non-changing) and dynamic (varying) IP addresses. Those that are static do not change and can be used by Web servers that require a permanent connection to the Internet. Those that are dynamic are assigned as needed to allow communication between equipment or servers on the network. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) lets Network Administrators manage an organization's network centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses using the internet protocol TCP/IP. DHCP supports the management of IP addresses and internet traffic by:

Automatically assigning an IP address to a computer if it moves to another location on the network. If DHCP didn't exist the new IP address would have to be manually configured.

Allowing a Network Administrator to supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point? automatically sending a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

Leasing Time for an IP Address

DHCP uses the concept of a "lease" or an amount of time that a given IP address will be valid for a computer. The lease time can vary depending on how long a user is likely to require the Internet connection at a particular location. DHCP is especially useful in education and other environments where network users change frequently. In these settings, by using very short leases, DHCP can dynamically reconfigure networks in which there are more computers than there are available IP addresses.

Determining/Viewing DHCP Settings on a Linksys? Router

STEPS:

1. Log into the router using the router's IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
2. Enter a Username and Password at the Login page.
3. Click the Advanced Tab and DHCP.

Tips for Understanding the IP Address List

Listed below are some tips that explain the DHCP Settings:

• The starting IP address determines the first IP that will be auto assigned by the router (e.g., 192.168.1.100).
• The number of DHCP users determines the amount of auto assigned IP addresses that can be generated (e.g., 50).
• In a scenario with 50 users, "192.168.1.49" would be the last auto assigned IP address in the pool.
• To set an IP address outside the DHCP pool, statically assign the system to a number beyond the pool (e.g., 192.168.1.249).

= =Appendix 6: Router Configuration

The sample setup instructions below use a Linksys⁽ router and are meant for demonstration purposes only.

STEPS:

1. Log into the router using the router's IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
2. Open a Web browser. Enter the IP address of the router (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and press Enter.
3. Login to the router using the Username and Password. For help refer to router documentation.
4. Navigate to Port Forwarding. For help refer to router documentation. Open ports 5060 to 5060 on the IP address for the system being installed (e.g., 192.168.1.249) for both UDP and TCP (Name = SIP).
5. Open ports 10000 to 20000 on the IP address for the system being installed for both UDP and TCP (Name = RTP).
6. Open ports 4569 to 4569 on the IP address for the system being installed for both UDP and TCP (Name = IAX2).
7. Click Apply Changes to commit the changes to the database.

APPENDIX 7: NETWORK CONSOLE

The system comes with an application that allows the IP Address and other network attributes to be changed to meet the requirements of the specific network. Using the Network Console allows you to view and change settings without requiring an external web browser.

Accessing the Network Console

STEPS:

1. Verify that the IP1500 is powered and that a keyboard and monitor are connected directly to it.
2. If the monitor screen is blank go to step 4. However, if you see the Network Console, go to step 5.
3. If you just powered up the IP1500, you will see various system housekeeping messages scrolling on the screen. Do not press any keys at this time. Soon the messages will stop moving and be replaced with a "login as" prompt.
4. Press CTRL + ALT + F7, simultaneously. If nothing happens, go to step 1.
5. View or make changes as needed.

Selecting Options

Options are single letters or digits within brackets. You select an option by typing the option letter/digit and then pressing the Enter key. For example, on the Main menu, \[1\] indicates you can select the Network Type by typing 1 and pressing Enter. A blank option \[ \] indicates that you cannot edit the value in the current context.

Menus

• Each menu screen contains 4 sections:
• Menu Location.
• "Using" (Live) System Settings.
• Database Settings.
• Commands.

Menu Location

The location "bar" tells you where in the configuration system you are. For example, the Main Menu is "IPitomy Networking - TCP/IP Settings". Another menu is "IPitomy Networking - TCP/IP Settings - Subnet Mask"

Using the "Live" System Settings

This section always contains the current network system information.

Database Settings

Most values in this section are IP Addresses. The values can be edited. To edit a value you first select the corresponding option. Options here are always numbered. Edits do not modify actual network settings until you "Save & Update".

Command Options

To issue a command select the desired option. Which options are available vary depending on where you are within the menu system. Some important options are:

Refresh View \[R\]

• When to use:
• Undo edits you do not wish to save.
• See the latest live network information.
• See if the database has been modified by someone else.

Default Settings \[D\]

Changes the values listed in the menu to factory defaults. Remember, you must save your changes to actually update your network interface.

Save & Update \[S\]

Save settings and update network connections.

Disable \[Z\]

IP address values can be disabled with this option.

Network Type

DHCP

DHCP may be used to simplify networking administrative tasks such as initial system configuration. With Network Type set to DHCP, several IP Address options become unavailable. For more information about DHCP and IP1500 networking requirements, refer to the appropriate section of this manual.

Acquiring a DHCP Lease

STEPS:

1. Change Network Type to "DHCP".
2. Save & Update.

Renewing DHCP Lease

STEPS:

1. Verify Network Type is set to "DHCP".
2. Save & Update.

Other Menus

• \[W\] Web Server
• \[H\] Host Access
• \[F\] Fix Database

Web Server

This menu allows you to restart the Web Server, and modify which IPs and/or domains can access the web server. To apply changes you must restart the web server. This will not interrupt phone service. A reboot of the PBX will also apply changes made here. The "Allow" format may be: domain name, full IP address, partial IP address, network/netmask pair, network/nnn CIDR specification.

Changes to the Web Server access list are database independent so custom changes do not migrate from one box to another via a database backup file.

Host Access

Limit access to special services on the PBX.

An "allow from" entry is a list of one or more host names, host addresses, patterns or wildcards that will be matched against the client host name or address. List elements should be separated by blanks and/or commas.

Changes to the Host access list are installed immediately. They are database independent so custom changes do not migrate from one box to another via a database backup file.

\*Changes made to Web Server and Host Access settings are installed immediately. You must restart the Web Server (\[U\] option, or the PBX) before Web Server access changes are used by the Web Server. The Web Server and Host Access console menus provide all of the functionality of the System > Access Control web page.

Fix Database

From here you can factory default your database. This will permanently change your system. Be sure this is really what you want to do before proceeding.

Tips for Using the IPitomy IP PBX Network Console

Always read the text near the cursor before pressing keys. Otherwise you could miss an important warning message.

If the IP1500 console has been left unattended with the Network Console Menu present on the monitor screen, and you believe someone else may have modified network settings remotely since the last time the console was used, be sure to select Refresh Database View before making changes or using Save & Update. This ensures that you do not accidentally revert settings to an undesired prior state and that you are not relying on out of date information.

While unlikely, it is possible for the actual database settings to be out of sync with the "Using" (live) network settings. If you want to switch the actual settings to the database values, simply select Save & Update. If you want to re-configure the network, edit the settings first. Then Save & Update.

APPENDIX 8: SOFTWARE UPGRADE

Checking for Upgrade Availability

1. Log into the PBX

1. Navigate to PBX Setup=>Services and note the firmware version. If the PBX firmware is earlier than 3.x-xxxx then your system requires a Hard Drive upgrade before you will be able to load any 3.x firmware onto the system. Please contact your IPitomy Sales Representative if an HD upgrade is needed; otherwise continue with the steps laid out in this guide.

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) - IVR is a telephony technology that can read a combination of touch tone and voice input. It gives users the ability to access a database of information via phone. A typical IVR system has several menus of prerecorded options that the caller can choose from. While many choices are as basic as choosing a number, some options may require the caller to speak detailed information such as his name or account number. This input is read by the IVR system and is used to access the appropriate information in the database.

Internet Protocol (IP) - A protocol used to send data over a network. These are currently set to IPv4 meaning 4 octets ranging from 0-255. The public internet takes up a majority of these addresses, but there are certain ranges reserved for private LANs.

Reserved Private IP Address Ranges
	Start	End	Number of Addresses
24-bit Block (/8 prefix, 1 × A)	10.0.0.0	10.255.255.255	16,777,216
20-bit Block (/12 prefix, 16 × B)	172.16.0.0	172.31.255.255	1,045,576
16-bit Block (/16 prefix, 256 × C)	192.168.0.0	192.168.255.255	65,536

Internet Service Provider (ISP) - A company that provides access to the Internet.

J

Jitter - This is the deviation in or displacement of some aspect of the pulses in a high-frequency digital signal. As the name suggests, jitter can be thought of as shaky pulses. The deviation can be in terms of amplitude, phase timing, or the width of the signal pulse.

K

L

Local Area Network (LAN) - A group of computers and other devices that share a common communications line. These devices most often share a server and are located within a small geographic area.

Loop Back - The term loopback is generally used to describe methods or procedures of routing electronic signals, digital data streams, or other flows of items, from their originating facility quickly back to the same source entity without intentional processing or modification. This is not something you want to do on a LAN.

M

MAC Address - A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

Message Waiting Light - A light on a phone indicating that a voicemail message is waiting.

Music on Hold - Music or announcements callers listen to while on hold.

N

Network - A group of computers or devices that share a common communication line and are typically used for the transmission of data and voice traffic.

O

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)''' - This refers to a company that produces hardware to be marketed under another company's brand name.

P

Packet''' - A unit of data transmitted over a network. This is a small amount of computer data sent over a network. Any time you receive data from the Internet, it comes to your computer in the form of many little packets. Each packet contains the address of its origin and destination, and information that connects it to the related packets being sent.

Park''' - Parks a call in a reserved extension (park slot) and allows the call to be retrieved from another extension.

POE (Power over Ethernet) - A method of providing power to a network device over the network cabling, eliminating the need for a power supply.

Port''' - Ports can describe two different devices.

An Internet port. This is a number that indicates what kind of protocol a server on the Internet is using. For example, Web servers typically are listed on port 80. Web browsers use this port by default when accessing Web pages

A hardware port. This refers to any one of the ports that are on the back of a computer where devices can be hooked up (like a keyboard, mouse, printer, etc). Some common ports found on today's computers are USB, Firewire, and Ethernet.

PRI (Primary Rate Interface) - ISDN service provides 23 64-Kbps B (Bearer) channels and one 64-Kbps D (Data) channel (23 B and D). The D Channel is used for control in signaling information.

Private Branch Exchange (PBX) - An in-house telephone system that connects extensions and the Public Switched Telephone Network.

Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN''') - This is the global circuit-switched telephone network. It is similar to the Internet. However, on the Internet packets of data are sent and received using Internet protocol over a network.

Q

Quality of Service (QoS)''' - The ability to provide different priority to different applications, users, or data flows, or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow.

R

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) - This is a method of storing data on multiple hard disks. When disks are arranged in a RAID configuration, the computer sees them all as one large disk. However, they operate much more efficiently than a single hard drive. Since the data is spread out over multiple disks, the reading and writing operations can take place on multiple disks at once. This can speed up hard drive access time significantly. Multiple hard drives may not improve hard disk performance as much as multiple processors may enhance the CPU performance, but it is based on a similar logic.

Real-Time Protocol (RTP) - a standardized packet format for delivering audio and video over IP networks.

Router''' - A networking device that connects multiple networks together, such as a local network and the Internet.

S

Server''' - Any computer in a network that provides users access to files, printing, communications, etc.

Server Time - this is the time set on the server where the phone or device is located. The server time for IPitomy's IP PBX system is synched to time.nist.gov server time.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) - A signaling protocol that establishes data sessions. For example when making a call from one extension to another on a VoIP phone system SIP sets up the call and creates the connection between the two extensions.

Smart Personal Console (SPC) - This user-friendly Web page gives a person the ability to set basic phone features (mailbox settings, phone key settings, call forwarding, etc) from anywhere. Additionally, the user can check their voicemail and call logs from the SPC.

Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) - A stateful inspection is a firewall architecture that works at the network layer. Unlike static packet filtering, which examines a packet based on the information in its header, a stateful inspection tracks each connection traversing all interfaces of the firewall and makes sure they are valid.

Static IP''' - an IP address that does not change.

Subnet Mask - A subnet mask is a number that defines a range of IP Addresses that can be used in a network. Subnet masks are used to designate subnetworks, or subnets, which are typically local networks LANs that are connected to the Internet. Systems within the same subnet can communicate directly with each other, while systems on different subnets must communicate through a router. Therefore, subnetworks can be used to partition multiple networks and limit the traffic between them.

Switch - A network device that connects network segments. These come in POE and non-POE varieties.

T

T1 - A dedicated digital voice circuit that has 24 channels. This point-to-point circuit delivers 1.544 Mbps of bandwidth.

TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) - a simple protocol to transfer files. IPitomy uses this method in regards to phone firmware and configuration files. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivial_File_Transfer_Protocol

Time to Live (TTL) - This refers to an aspect of the Internet Protocol. TTL is used when a "ping," or a request for a response, is sent to another computer, such as a server. The TTL represents the number of hops, or servers in different locations, the request can travel to before returning a failed attempt message.

Transfer - Sends a call to another extension.

Trunk''' - A communications channel between two points.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) - Packets sent via this method are verified end to end.

U

Upload - While downloading is receiving a file from another computer, uploading is the exact opposite. It is sending a file from your computer to another system. It is possible to upload and download at the same time, but it may cause slower transfer speeds, especially if you have a low bandwidth connection. Because most files are located on Internet servers, people generally do a lot more downloading than uploading.

Uniform Resource Locator (URL)''' - A URL is the address of a specific Web site or file on the Internet. It cannot have spaces or certain other characters and uses forward slashes to denote different directories. Some examples of URLs are http://www.cnet.com/, http://web.mit.edu/, and ftp://info.apple.com/.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) - A devise that maintains continual electrical power.

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) - Packets sent via this method are fire and forget.

V

Virtual Private Network (VPN) - a computer network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization's network.

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) - The routing of voice traffic over the internet. VoIP is basically a telephone connection over the Internet. The data is sent digitally, using the Internet Protocol (IP) instead of analog telephone lines.

'W'

Wide Area Network (WAN) - A computer network that crosses geographic boundaries like cities, states or countries.

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) - A link between two or more computers in a network without wires. Wireless LANs use radio waves to communicate between computers in a limited area.
