USB ports
Both PBX models have two USB ports.
• One port can be used to connect auxiliary memory in the form of a USB drive. This provides additional storage for voicemail, call
recordings, and log files. Only one auxiliary memory device is supported at a time. For more information, see Section 3.2.1, Step
1C.
OnThe port is connected.
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com

724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
Chapter 2: Overview
• One port can be used to connect a 3G wireless Internet stick for failover support when VoIP and/or PSTN phone lines are not
available.
Reset button
Use the end of a paper clip to press the reset button.
• To restart the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway, press and release the reset button. This is equivalent to disconnecting and then
reconnecting the power supply.
• To reset the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway to factory default settings, press and hold the reset button until the first two FXO
lights on the left of the unit turn on.
Resetting to factory defaults erases all configuration settings. Auxiliary memory is not erased. When the Hybrid PBX and VoIP
Gateway restarts, the LAN ports will be set to the IP address 192.168.1.2. Any address configured on the WAN port is cleared.
Power connector
Connect the supplied power supply to this connector. The Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway does not have a power switch. It powers
up automatically when you connect the power supply.
CAUTION: Connecting any other power supply to this connector voids your warranty and may damage the Hybrid PBX and VoIP
Gateway.
Audio ports
The IPBX424 and IPBX1224 each have two mono mini-jack audio ports.
• Audio In: For connection of a music source for music-on-hold.
• Audio Out: For connection to a PA system for paging.
Ethernet ports
Both Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway models have four 10-/100-Mbps Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connectors. The ports are split
into the following two categories: LAN and WAN.
• LAN ports: Ports 1, 2, and 3 are LAN ports. These ports are generally used to connect the PBX to a local area network (LAN).
They can also be used to connect directly to a computer or SIP phone.
By default, the LAN IP address is set to 192.168.1.2.
For troubleshooting or system monitoring tasks, Port 3 can be switched into monitor mode, allowing it to capture all traffic on
Ports 1, 2, and 4.
• WAN port: Port 4 is called the WAN port. For certain installation scenarios, it can be used to connect the Hybrid PBX and VoIP
Gateway to the Internet or a private network that provides VoIP service.
NOTE: The LAN and WAN ports must have IP addresses on different networks.
NOTE: The Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway is not a router. It only forwards VoIP and voice traffic between its LAN and WAN ports.
This means that you cannot connect computers, SIP phones, or other IP-based devices to the Internet through the Hybrid
PBX and VoIP Gateway.
FXS ports
The FXS ports are used to connect the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway to analog phone equipment, such as a telephone or fax
machine.
Failover support
The IPBX424 and IPBX1224 provide failover support on one FXS port. Thirty seconds after a power failure occurs, an FXS port is
automatically connected to an FXO line to enable calling from an analog phone.

3. Installation
3.1 Installation Examples
There are a wide variety of ways to integrate the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway into your existing networking infrastructure. To
simplify the installation process, this guide recommends the following two scenarios:
Example 1
This scenario illustrates one way to add the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway to a network to take advantage of an existing broadband Internet connection for VoIP service.
Public Switched
Telephone
Network (PSTN)
LAN port 1
192.16 8.1. 2

networks are only

phones require

Hybrid PBX and
VoIP Gateway
(IPBX424 )
WAN port with static
public IP address
192.168.0.0/24
Computers
In this scenario, the connection to the VoIP provider is made using the LAN Port 1 on the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway. Traffic
from the SIP phones (green line) reaches the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway on its LAN port and is then sent to the VoIP provider
through the gateway/router installed on the network. Port forwarding is configured on the Gateway/Router to send traffic from
the VoIP provider to the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway. (See “Configure port forwarding”in Section 3.2.5, Step 5B.)
The Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway acts as the DHCP for the network, enabling it to automatically provision the SIP phones.
However, to support Internet access (yellow line), it assigns the Gateway/Router as the DNS server and default gateway for all network devices.
(If your existing DHCP server supports Option 66, you can continue to use it if you make configuration adjustments. For details,
see Configuring a third-party DHCP server in the Networking chapter in theHybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway Administrator’s Guide.)
Page 14
Figure 3-1. Example 1.
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
Chapter 3: Installation
Example 2
In this scenario, the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway WAN port is directly connected to a switch provided by the Internet ISP. Traffic
from the SIP phones (green line) reaches the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway on its LAN port and is then sent to the VoIP provider
via the WAN port. One advantage of this setup is that the WAN port gets a public IP address on the Internet. This makes it easy
to configure VoIP support and provide access for remote phone, as port forwarding does not have to be configured on the
Gateway/Router as in scenario 1.

for all network devices.

see Configuring a third-party DHCP server in the Networking chapter in the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway Administrator’s Guide.)

Chapter 3: Installation
3.2 Installation Steps
3.2.1 Step 1: Prepare for Installation
Prepare the following to ensure a fast and efficient installation of the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway.
STEP 1A: Inspect the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway hardware.
Inspect the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway hardware for any signs of physical damage during shipping. Report any damage to
Black Box Technical Suppport at 724-746-5500 or info@blackbox.com.. Keep all packaging material in case the Hybrid PBX and
VoIP Gateway has to be returned for servicing.
STEP 1B: Verify package contents.
Verify that the package contains the following items. If an item is missing, contact Black Box Technical Suppport at 724-746-5500
or info@blackbox.com.
Table 3-1. Package contents.
ItemQuantity for IPBX424Quantity for IPBX1224
Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway11
Interanational power supply with three plug types11
3-ft. (0.9-m) Category 5e RJ-45 Ethernet cable11
RJ-12 line splitter26
RJ-12 telephone cable26
Rackmounting brackets22
STEP 1C: Obtain auxiliary memory.
The Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway uses auxiliary memory to store:
• Voicemail for each user
• Voicemail and name directory greetings
• Call recordings
• Log files
If auxiliary memory is not installed, these items are stored in system memory. A limited amount of system memory is available
for this purpose. Once full, new items are discarded—this can cause system errors. We strongly recommend that you install
auxiliary memory.
One GB of auxiliary memory will store approximately 1000 minutes of voicemail and/or call recordings.
Memory types
Both models of the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway support auxiliary memory (USB flash drive).
CAUTION: Never remove a USB flash drive when the Hybrid PBX and VoIP Gateway is on. This can result in a loss of data.
Formatting auxiliary memory
Auxiliary memory devices larger than 50 GB must be formatted on a computer before installation. The required file format is ext2,
which can be created using third-party software such as the Gnome® Partition Editor - GParted Live (available for download at:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/index.php).
