Getting started
1. Unpack the appliance
2. Connect the corresponding power cord to a wall outlet and then the other
end to the appliance
3. Connect an Ethernet cable (not included) to your PC or laptop and the other
end to the first Ethernet interface/port on the appliance
4. Connect to your appliance
The ELX5000 appliance is configured by default with the following static IP
address on its first Ethernet interface: 192.168.1.251/255.255.255.0 (the
other Ethernet interface is configured with DHCP by default).
Note: if it is not already configured that way, you may need to set your PC or
laptop’s network interface card (NIC) to have an IP address like
192.168.1.X/255.255.255.0. If this is not possible, contact Technical
Assistance (See page 7)
5. Login into the appliance
Once the appliance is connected to your network, you can access the Elastix
Admin Interface through a web browser. Just direct your browser to
http://192.168.1.251 , we recommend the use of Firefox.
At the login screen use the following information to access the system:
o Username: admin
o Password: palosanto
6. Change passwords (recommended)
After logging in, place your mouse cursor over the silhouette icon at the top
right corner of the Elastix’s web UI and click on “Change Elastix Password”
(Figure 1)
Figure 1. Changing Elastix’s Admin Interface password
To change Elastix’s root password (Linux console), connect via ssh to the
appliance: ssh [email protected] (default password is: palosanto). Once
inside execute the command: passwd (Figure 2)

7. Change the IP address (optional)
If needed, change the IP address of your appliance so that it matches the
address scheme of your local area network (LAN). At the Elastix web user
interface go to: System Network , here you can configure the global
network parameters of your appliance as well as the individual parameters
of each of the 2 network interfaces. We recommend the use of an static IP
address. (Figure 3)

your PC/laptop’s network interface card IP address settings back to how they
were before step 4
9. Configure telephony dial plan rules, virtual fax devices, email service, and
other options. Enjoy your Unified Communications Appliance!
