Make sure IP address of your PC is in network 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, if not, you need to appoint an IP
address for your PC, for example, 192.168.1.3
2) Login APBX as administrator via WEB GUI
User: admin
Password: atcom
3) Go to Network Settings ->WAN.
Re-set IP of WAN port.
4) Go to Network Settings -> LAN.
Re-set IP of LAN port.
2.2 WAN Settings
There are three ways to set an IP address to WAN port: DHCP, Static IP, PPPoE.
DHCP
NOTE: It’s recommended to re-set IP address of APBX via WAN at the first time, Since DHCP server on
LAN port is enabled by default, Other DHCP client enabled devices in the network may obtain IP from
APBX rather than real DHCP server. And then access APBX via LAN after configuring LAN settings.
APBX IP4G User Manual
6 ATCOM TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED
APBX will obtain an IP address automatically from DHCP server when rebooting. It’s not recommended to choose
this option unless there is a reserved IP for APBX in DHCP server so that APBX can keep the same IP all the time.
Static IP
Set an IP address manually according to the real network environment. If APBX is behind a router, the gateway is
usually set to the IP of the router.
PPPoE
APBX will obtain an IP address automatically after establishing a connection to PPPoE server with username and
password.
2.3 LAN Settings
DHCP
Yes: APBX will get an IP address from DHCP server, Not recommended.
No: Configure IP address manually for LAN. Default is NO.
NAT
Yes: APBX will act as a router, all the devices connected to LAN can access the network connected to WAN. Default
is Yes.
No: Networks connected to LAN and WAN are independent.
NOTE: IP addresses of LAN and WAN can’t be in the same network.
For example: IP of WAN is 192.168.1.100/255.255.255.0, IP of LAN can’t be 192.168.1.xx/255.255.255.0

SIP Settings
APBX IP4G User Manual
12 ATCOM TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED
NAT
Try this setting when APBX is on a public IP, communicating with devices hidden behind a NAT device (broadband
router). If you have one-way audio problems, you usually have problems with your NAT configuration or your
firewall’s support of SIP+RTP ports.
Can Reinvite
By default, APBX will route the media streams from SIP endpoints through itself. Enabling this option causes APBX
to attempt to negotiate the endpoints to route the media stream directly, bypassing APBX. It is not always possible for
APBX to negotiate endpoint-to-endpoint media routing.
DTMF Mode
Select DTMF sending mode, there are three modes: rfc2833, inband, info. The DTMF setting in here should be as
same as that in SIP phone, otherwise APBX will not detect the users’ input correctly during a call.
Auto means IPPBX will match anyone of them according to the setting of SIP phone.
Preferred Codec
Set the allowed codec and priority for SIP phone. The options are below:
A-law, U-law, GSM, SPEEX, G726, G722, ADPCM, G729
IP Restriction
Enable it to permit trusted IP/network register to this extension number. This is an useful way to improve the security
of APBX.
NOTE: There must be at least one same codec chose in APBX extension settings and SIP phone codec
settings, otherwise, It’s impossible to make calls between APBX and SIP phone.
