Sections/Fields	Description
SIP Password	Password for the user to access IP PBX web-based administration system. Use a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers.
Generate	If clicked, the system will automatically generate a password for the extension.
Password Strength	This color code bar indicates the strength of the password being assigned for the extension. The strengths are represented with the following colors:
Location	This allows the user to tell the PBX whether to expect this extension to register as a local extension (LAN) or as a remote extension (WAN).
NAT	IMPORTANT: This setting should be ENABLED (checked) unless otherwise instructed. Please contact an IPitomy’s Technical Support Group for assistance or more information.
HOST	IMPORTANT: This should be set to DYNAMIC unless otherwise instructed. Please contact IPitomy’s Technical Support Group for assistance.
Phone Type	The phone type is a drop down list for selecting which IP phone hardware is being used on the extension. IPitomy supports Aastra phones as well as our own IP550 and IP120 phones, and will be adding additional phone types in the future. When the phone type is selected, another configuration option is available to program the button mapping of each telephone model. The IPitomy IP PBX supports a variety of pre-programmed buttons like BLF, park, voicemail, as well as custom configurable speed dial buttons. Each phone can be configured for its own unique set of buttons.
Phone MAC	All of the IP phones have a MAC Address. The MAC ID identifies the piece of equipment for configuration. The auto configuration features of IPitomy rely on the MAC address to load the proper configuration files into the telephone when changes are made in the Web-based interface. The configuration files are stored on the IPitomy IP PBX and used when the phone powers back on after a power down cycle. If the configuration files have been updated when the phone powers back on, a new configuration is loaded into the phone. When the new configuration file is loaded, manual settings on the phone take priority and will be kept intact during the upgrade. Note that at this time only Aastra phones require and utilize the MAC address in the phone settings.
Qualify	This is the interval of time between checking registration for the phone. Default is set to 8000 and should not be changed unless instructed by an IPitomy representative.
DTMF Mode	This is where you set what kind of DTMF signaling the extension will use. The dropdown lists options are: rfc2833 (recommended in the HD Phone models) auto info (recommended in the IPitomy legacy phone models IP120 & IP550) inband
User Type	This is defaulted to Friend and should not be changed unless instructed to do so by an IPitomy representative.
Call Limit	This is the number of concurrent calls allowable at an extension. The Call Limit selected must be between 1 and 99. Default is set to 4. It needs to be above 0 for BLF keys to function.
Can Reinvite	This parameter allows a device to reconnect calls midstream. YES = if the phone type allows the re-invite feature NO = if the phone type does not allow the re-invite feature N/A = accepts the system wide default defined in the System Setup section of the Administration System. If the default setting is acceptable and works within your business, we recommend leaving the parameter set to N/A.
RTP Keep-alive	Number of seconds, when a RTP Keepalive packet will be sent if no other RTP traffic on that connection. Default 0 (no RTP Keepalive)
Send Remote Party ID	no : If a Remote-Party-ID SIP header should be sent. Default no
Trust Remote Party ID	no : If Remote-Party-ID SIP header should be trusted. Default no
Insecure	This parameter allows you to specify how to handle connections with peers. Explanation of the different options available on the drop-down list are: PORT = Ignore the port number where authentication came from. INVITE = Do not require the initial invite to authenticate. PORT+INVITE = Do not require initial invite to authenticate and ignore the port where the request came from. YES: To match a peer based by IP Address only and not the port. VERY: To allow registered hosts to call without re-authenticating. This is the default setting.

The Follow Me feature allows the PBX to try and find a user by calling pre-configured numbers, simultaneously or in sequence of priority. Once answered, the called party is given the option to accept or reject the call. If the call is rejected, or not answered at all, the call will return to the PBX allowing the caller to leave a Voice Mail message.

To use Follow-Me, you can point a Menu destination or a DID to route direct to Follow-Me, or you can set an extension up to use a schedule that points to the Follow-Me at a given time. You can also use forwarding to get to Follow-Me, a typical use would be to have the NoAnswer forwarding to to Follow-Me so a call will ring an extension, and if its not answered, it can call a persons cell phone.

Multiple Simultaneous Calling

See the following guide to have a call ring two locations at the same time.

Auto Discovery of Extensions

This network discovery tool will automatically detect new devices that have been added to the network. This feature helps identify phones and other devices connected to the network and allow you to configure networked phones. The IP PBX system provides you with the option to either scan the network, or if a scan has been done recently, you could select No Scan to save time.

Auto-Discovery

Start Auto-Discovery Scan

This section describes how to start the Auto-Discovery scan for active devices on the network.

STEPS:

1. From the Destination=>Extensions page, click the Auto-Discovery Tab.
2. Select to either Scan or Not Scan the network and an Alert message indicating that the system is scanning the network for active devices appears.
3. Once the scanning process is complete, the system will display a list of active devices and assigned values such as IP Address, Device Type, Status, etc. Devices that appear on this list may be selected for editing. By default, the PBX will only display IPitomy and Aastra devices. Filter options can be modified to change display other devices.

If you click the refresh-view more than once within a short time period, the network is not rescanning. The minimum time period allowed between scans is indicated under the Advanced Settings (Min Refresh Interval).The network is only scanned for new information when you click REFRESH. Both REFRESH and FILTER ONLY apply whatever filters you have chosen to the displayed list.

List of Devices & Extensions

The list of discovered network devices comes from two sources:

• Network
• PBX Database

The following table describes the status of devices that will appear once an Auto-Discovery scan is completed.

Sections/ Fields	Description
Assigned	This field indicates that extension that is assigned to the device (phones). Clicking on the box to the left of this field allows you to select it for editing.
Device	The Device column lists info about the device. Database info is preferred, so if a device is set to a certain phone type in the database, this is listed instead of the actual device type.
Status	This is the status of the device. If the status field is blank, this indicates that the device was not found on the network. NOTE: Phones that are in the process of restarting, turned-off, or operating on a different network during a network scan will not be in an “Online” status.
	Hovering the mouse over this icon will provide device information. See Figure 43 for an example of the data that can be viewed.
MAC Address	This is the MAC Address assigned to the device.
IP Address	This is the IP Address assigned to the device.

Auto Provisioning a Yealink Phone

PBX ver 6.0.5 or later method

Starting in version 6.0.5, we have added the ability to configure and restart Yealink phones from the autodiscovery section of the pbx, eliminating much of the process previously needed to set these phones up.

1) Under Destinations=>Autodiscovery, after scanning the network, go to the commands tab and click the Yealink Detect link:

2) Press the Start button

3) In the list of phones discovered, you can now check the boxes, and assign, configure, and restart them as if they were IPitomy HD phones, using the buttons at the top of the page.

Important notes:

This only works for FACTORY DEFAULTED Yealink phones.  Phones that have been previously provisioned will NOT respond to configure or restart commands from this process.

The Yealink discovery function will run for about 10 minutes before shutting itself back off.  You can restart it by going to the commands tab and hitting start, if it has stopped.  If it is running, it will say "Listening" on that page.

Device Information

To view detail information for a specific device, hover your cursor over the information icon to obtain details about the network device or phone. This can be an important source of information about which phones are available for live configuration.

Edit Selected Tab

The IP PBX system offers many ways to configure devices. This section describes an optional method using the Auto-Discovery feature.

The following table describes the fields and functions available on the Edit Selected Tab of the Auto-Discovery page:

Fields	Description	Commands Phone?
Create	Create new extensions for selected phones. You can upload extension details in a file or manually enter information.	NO
Assign	Assign existing extensions to selected phones.	NO
Unassign	Removes the configuration file for the phone and all association between the extension and the phone.	NO
Unassign & Default	Same as Unassign but also sends a Factory Default instruction to the phone.	YES

Create, Assign and Configure Phone

The following outlines steps to create, assign and configure a device.

IMPORTANT: This assumes that the phones are in a FACTORY DEFAULTED state. IPitomy recommends using the CSV upload file and the IP550 phone type which will help to simplify the setup and auto configuration process.

STEPS:

1. From the Extensions=>Destinations=>Auto-Discovery page, click the Edit Selected tab.
2. Place a check mark next to the phones you wish to use when creating the extensions
3. Click the Create button.
4. Enter the new extension information. The MAC addresses of the selected phones will be populated so you have a reference as to what phones you are creating the extensions for.
5. Click the “Create” button. If successful, Click “Return to Extensions”
6. Click the Apply Changes link located at the right hand corner of the top of the page, to commit the changes to the database.
7. Click the “Auto-Discovery” button and you will note the newly created extensions are now assigned to the phones that were checked.
8. Check the boxes next to the phones that you just created extensions for.
9. Click the Commands Tab.
10. Click on the Configure & Restart button to provision the phones.

View Settings Tab

Filtering does not change how the network scanning is performed. It only limits the list of items displayed. This means that if you only want to change filters it is not necessary to re-scan the network. All of the network information from the last network scan is retained and used by filters.

Sections/Fields	Description	Commands Phone
Select All, None, Invert	Check or uncheck multiple checkboxes with the click of a button.	NO
Refresh	Scan the network for devices. Scanning is done using the settings in Advanced Scan Settings. The scan results displayed depend on the active filters,controlled via Advanced Filter Settings.	NO
Filter Only	Displays results of the last network scan after applying the filters set in Advanced Filter Settings.	NO

Advanced Filter Settings

Sections/Fields	Description
Sort Order	This allows you to set what order items are listed. Hover your cursor over the help icon next to the Sort Order fields for options.
Hide	Allows you to hide different status types from view.
Filter Patterns	Allows you to either enter a partial MAC or IP here. The only system criterion is that the pattern must match from the first character onward. i.e. “000D” would match “000DE” but not “A000DE”. Full Regular Expression Matching is supported when you enclose your search pattern in double quotes. Some Examples are: Pattern 1.2.3 = ^1\.2\.3 Pattern “1\.2\.3.*” = 1\.2\.3.*
Filter by Type	You can select multiple device types to filter by. Auto-Discovery is aware of MAC address ranges used by many popular networked devices. Although this is not the only way Auto-Discovery identifies devices, this allows the tool to identify and filter devices by type. Only IPitomy devices and Aastra phones are shown by default because they are set in the Filter by Type.

Advanced Scan Settings

Changes to Scan Settings are kept when you click the GUI ‘Refresh’ button. Clicking on your browser’s refresh button will discard changes. For the most part these settings can remain unchanged and all will function as needed.

Sections/Fields	Description
Scan Network	Subnet of the network to be scanned
Port 80 Ping Wait	Maximum seconds to wait for basic phone web interface to signal that it is alive. Rarely used.
Command Wait	Maximum seconds to wait for most commands.
User and Password	Phone’s Web User Name & Password may have to be specified if the phone is not using factory default settings for these items. When these fields are blank Auto-Discovery uses default settings.
Factory Default Wait	Maximum seconds to wait for the phone to signal completion of a Factory Default.
Reset	The ‘Reset’ button will return all Scan Settings to original default values.

Commands Tab

The IP PBX system offers many ways to configure devices. This section describes an optional method using the use Auto-Discovery feature.

Sections/ Fields	Description	Commands Phone?
Factory Default	Sends a Factory Default and restarts the phone.	YES
Restart	Sends a Restart instruction to the phone.	YES
Configure & Restart	Instructs phone to set TFTP server to the Server IP specified under Advanced Settings. Then the phone is commanded to restart, which will result in pulling down configuration files and firmware files if there are updated ones present.	YES
Assign, Configure, & Restart	Combines the functions of the Assign button with the Configure & Restart button.	YES

Factory Default Phone

STEPS:

1. From the Extensions->Destinations page, click the Auto-Discovery Tab.
2. Click the “Auto-Discovery” button, choosing to scan or not scan the network as needed.
3. Click (placing a checkmark) on the boxes next to phones you wish to default.
4. From the Auto-Discovery page, click on the Command tab. Click the “Factory Default” button. Wait long enough for the phones to default and restart. This could be anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes for each phone, depending on the model. The phones will set themselves back to factory default and reboot during this period.

Troubleshooting Network Scanning Problems

Scan settings have been configured to work in a standard one subnet network environment. More complicated environments may require further tuning. The most useful setting is ‘Maximum wait’. However noisy environments will require increasing the packet Count and TX interval.

STEPS:

To tune scanning for your network:

1. From the Extensions->Destination->Auto-Discovery page, click on Advanced Scan Settings link.
2. Increase the ‘Maximum Wait’ setting by a few seconds.
3. Click the GUI ‘Refresh’ button.

More specific tuning will require knowledge of your network and diagnostic tools like Ping.Phones that are in the process of restarting, turned-off, or operating on a different network during a network scan will not be in an “Online” status.

Auto Provisioning Phone Settings from Actual Device

The remainder of the configuration is done via the Phone interface, and will only work with IPitomy phones.

STEPS:

1. Create an extension, setting the Device to either IP550 or IP120, depending on what IPitomy phone you intend to register to the extension.

   IMPORTANT: To configure the phone using the auto provisioning, make sure that the “Auto-Provisioning” parameter is RUNNING. This can be done in PBX Setup=>General option of the system.

2. From your phone, select the Menu button to start Auto-Provisioning then select Option 7: SIP Settings (you can do this without using the scroll keys by just pressing Menu then 7).
3. It will prompt you for the Admin password. Enter the default password “1234” then press the Enter softkey (IP550) or the OK button (IP120)
4. Select Option 8: Auto Prov.
5. Select “YES” when the Autosearch PBX prompt appears.
6. Enter either the extension number of the extension that has been created.
7. Press the Done softkey (IP550) or the OK button (IP120) and the phone will run through the process of downloading its configuration file, updated firmware file, etc.

HD Phone Key Labeling

About

Designation labels for the programmable buttons on IPitomy HD phones can be printed using plain 8.5”X11” paper or the perforated sheets that are included with each phone. The IPitomy HD series SIP telephones are packaged with designation label sheets that can be used to label the programmable keys in a professional manner. Each telephone and the IPX32 Expansion Module are shipped with one label sheet. Label sheets have multiple labels so that they can be used to print labels for multiple telephones. The perforated sheet size is A5; when printing on plain paper, use 8.5"X11". Each Sheet can be used to print more than one label:

 

 

Telephone model	Sheet Part Number	Quantity Labels per sheet
IP320-P	SH320-1	6
IP410-P	SH410-1	8
IPX32	SHX32-1	2

 

Sheets can be ordered in quantities using the following part numbers:

 

Telephone model	Part Number	Quantity of sheets
IP320-P	SH320-25	25
IP410-P	SH410-25	25
IPX32	SHX32-25	25

 

Sheets can be used in most laser and ink-jet type printers. This requires setup practice to find the best paper positioning for your specific printer. You must learn top/bottom and face/reverse side printing characteristics for your printer. The IPitomy IP PBX equipped with Firmware version 4.2.x and above provides for printing of labels directly from the programming interface and from the user’s SPC interface.

 

This guide will help you setup and utilize the label printing utility in the IPitomy IP PBX.

Label Printing Overview

Programming the HD SIP Telephone Keys

Assigning labels for the keys

Printing one label for one telephone

 Choosing the position of the label on the sheet

Printing multiple telephone labels

Programming the HD SIP Telephone Keys

Programming labels is the same interface from either the user interface – SPC (Smart Personal Console) or from the administrator’s interface – PBX Administration. This guide will focus on the user interface for programming of the keys.

Administrators have the added advantage of being able to print multiple labels at one time for multiple extensions. This setup information is provided following the SPC instructions.

To print labels you must be able to access the IP PBX. Doing so requires a web browser – like Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.

Programming Steps:

Open the web browser and navigate to the IP PBX… Input into the browser IP Address Bar the IP Address of your IP PBX Use the notation: http://<your pbx ip>/ippbx You will see the Login screen pictured here Input the User Name and Password for your extension. Your User Name will always be your extension number   If you haven’t yet changed your password it is also your extension number.
The SPC (Smart Personal Console) interface is now shown Click on the My Account icon at the top Once on the My Account page, click on the link:  My Phone Settings
This opens the Edit Phone Configuration screen of the PBX
There are five categories that can be programmed from this interface: Key Settings Audio Settings SIP/Networking    Settings Display Settings Expansion Modules This guide concerns only the first: Key Settings Use your mouse and keyboard to input values for each of the keys you wish to program

 

 

Assigning labels for the keys

The keys on the IP410 in this example are: Park, BLF:Park701, BLF:Park702, BLF:Park703, BLF:Extension 2212, BLF:Extension 2208, BLF:Extension 2210, and Record… some key type choices will automatically fill the Label data field when the key choice is selected, others require that you input the label you wish to print in that key position.
Note: The name/definition input here will print on the actual label.

• Program keys and input names/definitions as you wish.

Printing one label for one telephone

When you have set all the keys and entered all the label information you wish, click on Doing so opens the dialog box: Position  “Position” refers to the actual position on the label sheet that will be printed with this extenison’s key label. In the case of the IP410 telephone there are 8 positions available. For the label that we are printing in this example, we’ve selected position “1”. This means that this extension’s label will print in the upper left-hand corner position.
When the position is selected, click on "GO"  your print-ready page will open in a new browser window. The printed format is PDF so that it is portable to most printers. Use the File-Print function to print the page. Be sure to disable scaling, shrink to fit, rotation and other page altering printer parameters… the page must print in its native format to align properly with the sheet labels.   Our printed page appears as the image on the right. Positions are useful when re-using the sheet. You can print this extension’s label in position “1” and another extension’s label in position “2”, 3, …etc. Note1: Depending on your printer, the sheet may only be useful for one or two prints.  Note2: Once labels are removed from the sheet, the sheet may not go through the printer as well… printers differ from one model to the next.  Note 3: It may be best to print several phones on one sheet before removing labels from the sheet. Printing notes: Use plain paper first and practice so that the orientation of the page and face-side is known before using the perforated label sheets. The pre-fabricated perforated sheet size is A5.
When you are finished printing, close the PDF (printed page) window. Remove the printed labels from the sheet by carefully tearing the label at the edges along the perforation. Exit the Print Label Dialog by clicking on the encircled “X” in the upper right-hand corner.

 

 

 

 

Printing multiple telephone labels

From the Administration interface it is possible to program multiple telephones at one time. Doing so requires entering into the Administrator’s Extension Settings : Destination/Extension page under the View tab.

 

Once View is selected go to the telephone model for which labels are to be printed. Only one model phone can be printed at one time when multiples are printed.

• In this example we have 8 – IP320’s and 9 – IP410’s installed.

1. To program the Keys for multiple phones, click on the title bar of the phone models to be programmed…  In this case, we clicked on the IPitomy 4XX bar.
2. Click on the checkbox in the left-hand column of each phone that is to be programmed or if all are to be programmed, click on the checkbox at the top left and all will be selected.
3. Once the telephones to be programmed are selected, click on the "Edit Phone Settings" button at the right of the model bar.
4. Doing so opens the same Key Settings interface seen from SPC except that all of the extensions selected are shown at the top indicating those to be programmed.
5.  Program those Keys desired for all of the extensions selected.

• Note 1: If programming is different on various extensions they must be programmed in like-groups or one-at-a-time.
• Note 2: When extensions of like model have different key programming the labels can still be printed in multiples by first programming the keys on the various extensions and then proceeding to the View – Model programming above.
• Note 3: Keys that indicate “Do Not Change” indicate those keys that will not be affected by the programming in progress. This is helpful to retain unique programming on various keys while making changes to other keys in multiples.

6.  When key programming is complete, click on "Print Labels"
7. Doing so opens the dialog box: Position
8. At the time of this release this dialog box has no effect on the positioning of printed labels. Regardless of the position selected, the printout was always the same – starting in the upper left-hand corner of the printed page. (At Position “1”).
9. Click on "GO" your page will open in a new browser window. The printed format is PDF so that it is portable to most printers.
10. Use the File-Print function to print the page.
11.  Be sure to disable scaling, shrink to fit, rotation and other page altering printer parameters… the page must print in its native format to align properly with the sheet labels.

Our printed page appears as:

  

Since 9 extensions where selected a second page is printed with a single extension label.

• Note1: Depending on your printer, the sheet may only be useful for one or two prints.
• Note2: Once labels are removed from the sheet, the sheet may not go through the printer as well… printers differ from one model to the next.
• Note 3: It may be best to print several phones on one sheet before removing labels from the sheet.

Printing notes:

• Use plain paper first and practice so that the orientation of the page and face-side is known before using the perforated label sheets.
• The pre-fabricated perforated sheet size is A5.

12. When you are finished printing, close the PDF (printed page) window.
13.  Remove the printed labels from the sheet by carefully tearing the label at the edges along the perforation.
14. Exit the Print Label Dialog by clicking on the encircled “X” in the upper right-hand corner.
