'Step 2)'IF pbx is set up with final network IP address, set up localnet, and then ACL

If you are setting up the PBX in your office and then transporting it to your customer’s premise later, DO NOT set up phones yet. Wait until you are onsite. You can create extensions before delivery but do not assign the phones. Also do not load the recommended defaults for the Access Control List until you are onsite with the pbx set up for its destination network, as it will create rules based on its existing network settings, and may lock you out of it if you are not on the correct network.

Once you are onsite with the pbx set up on the destination network, then you should load recommended defaults as follows:

STEPS:

1. Navigate to PBX Setup->SIP

2. Set the LocalNet to match the network the PBX is installed on, Save, and Apply Changes

3. Navigate to the Access Control List page, click Load Recommended Default button. This will create default rules allowing the PBX to communicate to devices on the LocalNet in regards to SIP, Call Manager, and TFTP

4. Click the Apply Changes link located on the right hand corner of the page, to commit the changes to the database.

If the network is not a 192.168.1.x network, connect a monitor and keyboard to the pbx, boot up the pbx, and on the login screen, press CTRL-ALT-F7 to access a basic configuration page directly.

Step 3) Create and register at least 2 extensions, place test call between them to ensure calls are working

STEPS:

1. From any page of the PBX Admin system, click on the button next to the Destinations link to expand the menu. The Destination menu opens and displays the options available.

2. Click on the Extensions link. The Extensions page opens and displays a listing of extensions (if ones already exists).

3. Click on the box to the left of the Extensions field. This value defaults to “10”. Enter the number of extensions you want to add and then click the ADD button.

4. The Create Extensions page appears displaying the number of rows that was specified. Enter information for the extension in these fields. See table above for details.

You can have the system automatically number the extensions you want to create by clicking the AutoNumber checkbox located on the top left hand corner of the Create Extensions page.

5. Click on the CREATE button when all the extension information you want to create is entered. The system responds with a message indicating the results of adding the new extension(s). You should see a “SUCCESS” message.

6. If there is an error, you will see an “ERROR” indicated under the Results field. An error is typically due to an extension number that is being duplicated (already existing in the system). Make the necessary adjustments to correct the error then click the CREATE button.

7. Click on the button, to save the changes.

8. Select the Apply Changes link located on the right hand corner of the page, to commit the changes to the database.

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.

You can then assign an extension to each phone found.

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

Assign the rest of the phones as needed.

Step 6) Set up trunks (SIP, PRI/Analog Card, Gateway, etc)http://wiki.ipitomy.com/wiki/IPPBX_IMM_AdminProviders
