Be sure the voltage switch on the rear of the unit is set to the appropriate setting for your location. The unit is
shipped in the United States with the switch set to 115 VAC.
Caution: Failure to follow these steps may result in equipment damage, personal injury, and void the
product warranty.
5.2 Power-Up Sequence
Connect the unit to the power source with the AC power cable. The server will automatically begin to power
up. As it progresses through the power up sequence, the front panel lights will respond as shown in

6.1 Music-On-Hold
Connect the output from your music system to the server using a 3.5mm stereo plug line-in audio adapter
cable. Insert the male cable end into the audio connector labeled “In” on the front panel. Only the audio
channel associated with the tip of the plug is used.
6.2 Overhead Paging
Connect the server to the input of your paging system using a 3.5mm stereo plug audio cable. Insert the male
cable end into the audio connector labeled “Out” on the front panel.
6.3 FAX Machine
To enable the sharing of a CO line between a fax machine and outgoing calls, a fax machine may be directly
connected to the server on any of the phone extension ports. Just as when connecting an analog phone, this
requires configuring the extension using the administrative interface. See the Call Routing section of the
Allworx 10x System Administration Guide for instructions. If you have a high volume of fax traffic, it may be
prudent to connect the CO line directly to the fax machine via the premise wiring.

7.1 Analog
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG (or larger) UL listed or CSA certified
telecommunications line cord.

(DID) lines, or telephone handsets.
RJ-11 PortsType Description
1-3 FXO (loop-start)
4-9
10-16 FXS DID lines or telephone handsets.
The server supports DID lines that use the Wink Start signaling protocol.
Given the flexibility of the auto-sense ports, it is recommended that the ports be connected as follows:
• CO Lines: Begin with port 1 and move up.
• Telephone Handsets: Begin with port 16 and move down.
• DID lines: Begin with port 4 and move up.
The Power Fail Phone port may be used to connect an analog phone device that is operational in the event
that the server loses power or fails. During power failure, it automatically connects to the first outside phone
line port (port 1).
Surge protection is provided internally on all telephony interfaces (ports 1-16 and the Power Fail Phone port),
and is designed to be compliant with Telcordia specification GR-1089.
Table 3 describes the ports.

8 Server Configuration
The Allworx 10x provides an administrative interface to configure and administer the server. The
administrative interface is accessed using a web browser. Assuming the network settings are set to their
factory defaults, the steps to connect to this interface are:
1. Plug your PC into one of the server’s LAN ports.
2. Set up the PC’s network interface to obtain an IP address automatically (using DHCP).
3. You may need to release and renew the PC’s IP address to get an address from the server.
4. Verify that the PC has an IP address on the 192.168.2.xxx network.
5. Open your browser and enter the URL of
6. When the Welcome to Allworx page appears, login using the default password of admin.
When the Home page appears, click on the Install Checklist link (on the left hand side) to bring up a new
window containing steps necessary to set up a new system. Each brief step description is followed by a link to
get to the appropriate administrative web page to execute the step. These steps are ordered to aid in a
successful configuration. Most of the web pages to execute each step contain all the descriptions and help
necessary to carry out the step. Use the Allworx 10x System Administration Guide to supplement the
information on the web pages when necessary.
If the server has been previously configured for another installation, you should restore it to its factory default
configuration. This can be done by:

9 Data Network
The Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) data network ports are 10BaseT/100BaseTX
auto-sensing and auto-MDI/MDIX ports.
The Allworx 10x is a sophisticated network appliance that must be properly configured before being connected
to the LAN and WAN.
Note: Do not plug any network cables into the server without first properly configuring the server. Failure to
heed this warning may result in a disruption of network connectivity with other equipment on the
network.
After the network is properly configured, the LAN and WAN network cables can be plugged in. Standard RJ-45
category 5 network cables must be used. The four LAN ports are all switched Ethernet ports and may be used
in any order.
The LED’s on the LAN and WAN ports are defined in

12 Regulatory Notices
12.1 FCC Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC rules and the requirements adopted by ACTA. On the back side
of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:
AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, provide this number to the telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply
with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. See installation instructions for
details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive
RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not
all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products
approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of
0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that
temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone
company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint
with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could
affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in
order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact our company. If
the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you
disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

12.3 Radio And Television Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
