SIPxNano IP-PBX Getting Started Guide 2 • Setting Up the SIPxNano
Introduction
This chapter will help you set up the SIPxNano for the first time. The factory has already installed the CentOS
operating system, but you will need to initially configure the system the first time you use it.
Before you begin...
Before you turn on the SIPxNano, follow these steps (see figure 1):
NoteThe NanoServ chassis is within thermal and design limits but it does run
warm. For proper operation and cooling the system must have 2 cm or 1
inch of space for pen air around both side vents. In other words, it cannot be
laid down flat on a table, and it cannot be standing flat against a partition,
etc.. If mounted in some place, it must be mounted with stand off space
about 1 inch. If mounted in a closed enclosure, it will need 1 or 2 fans on the
outer enclosure for proper air flow inside.
1. Place the SIPxNano upright in the metal stand (included).
2. Attach a VGA monitor (not included) into the VGA port on the rear panel.
3. Attach the keyboard (not included) into the PS/2 port on the rear panel.
4. Attach the mouse (not included) into the other PS/2 port on the rear panel.
5. Attach the Ethernet cable (not included) into the RJ-45 port and connect the other end to the PC (not
included).
6. Attach the power adapter (included), and plug it into the closest electrical outlet.
7. Turn on the power supply switch on the rear panel.

SIPxNano IP-PBX Getting Started Guide 2 • Setting Up the SIPxNano
Configuring and Running the Reset Script
When you turn on the SIPxNano for the first time, you will need to run and configure a reset script before you
can access the webpage interface.
When you boot the system, a CLI prompt will appear asking for a login and password:
• login: root
• password: superuser
• [root@SIPxNano ~]# will appear. To run the reset script, type:
/recovery/linux/sipx_reset_cd <Press enter>.
NoteDo not press “I” for Interactive Setup while running the reset script. Allow
the reset script to run without interruption.
After running the reset script, you will have the option to change the default settings such as the hostname, IP
address, netmask, gateway, nameserver, password, and timezone. (If you would like to keep the default settings,
press <enter> at each prompt). Type ‘yes’, then press <enter>. The system will reboot.
NoteIf you make a mistake while running the reset script or changing the default
settings, type ‘CTRL+C’ to interrupt the reset script and start over.
After the system reboots for the second time, enter the login and password you set (or the default settings, if
you did not make any changes).
Accessing the system
Enter the IP address of the SIPxNano (in this example, 10.10.200.1) into a web browser on a separate PC. Be
sure that the PC is on the same subnet as the SIPxNano.
To log into the SIPxNano:
1. After typing the IP address into a web browser, a welcome screen will appear.
Click on the ‘Configuration’ link.
2. Log into the webpage interface. The default login is:

SIPxNano IP-PBX Getting Started Guide 3 • Users
Overview
This chapter provides information on SIPxNano user functions. Menu options include:
• “Users” on page 15
• “User Groups” on page 22
• “Extension Pool” on page 24
To help you accurately deliver configuration settings and management capabilities where they are needed in
your organization, SIPxNano distinguishes between the settings and management that:
• Apply to the operation of a specific device and its ability to function in your network
• A particular end user prefers, or is permitted to have, when using the device
Examples of device-level configuration settings include:
• The location of network servers and other entities, including a time server, SNMP stations, and SIP servers
• Activation of debugging tools, such as console output or Telnet access
• The location of hosts and ports for the device to use when receiving, or sending, data through a firewall
When you send profiles to a device, SIPxNano delivers settings only to the SIP phone associated with that
device.
Users
This section covers:
• “Adding Users” on page 16
• “Editing users” on page 21
• “Filtering users” on page 21
• “Deleting users” on page 21
• “More Actions” on page 21
For a user, you can:
• Grant or deny permissions, such as permission to dial long distance or international numbers
• Define certain configuration settings, such as activation of services for handling incoming calls, or entries in
a personal speed dial directory
• Assign devices
NotePermissions are not delivered to SIP phones. The Comm Server and Media
Server use the Permission database to authorize calls and enable features such
as voicemail for the user.
NoteSettings delivery and device management, outlined in this chapter, apply to
Patton certified/managed phones, which currently include the Cisco 7900
series of phones and the Patton SIP Softphone. All other phones are man-

aged from the respective phone after adding user(s) and user groups to SIPxNano.
Adding Users
To add a new user:
1. From the main menu, click on Users > Users, then the Add User hyperlink. The New User screen appears.
Figure 4. Adding a new user
2. Enter a unique User ID. The User ID can be a numeric extension or a name. (See “User IDs” on page 17).
3. Enter the user’s Last Name. In the next field, enter the user’s First Name.
4. Create a numeric PIN for the user to access voicemail. In the next field, type the PIN again.
5. The SIP password is used by the user's phone to register with the SIP proxy. For phones supported by
sipXconfig, the SIP password entered here will be configured automatically on the phone. For unmanaged
phones, the SIP password is needed when configuring lines on the phone.
6. List any existing User Groups that the user will belong to (optional).
7. In the Aliases field, list any additional names for the user (optional). (See “Aliases” on page 19).
8. Click OK.
Users16
SIPxNano IP-PBX Getting Started Guide 3 • Users
User IDs
For each SIPxNano user, you must supply a unique, alphanumeric User ID. This User ID, along with a
numeric Personal Identification Number (PIN), is required for end user access to the SIPxNano interface.
NoteSIPxNano requires a unique User ID for each user. Patton recommends that
you assign a unique PIN to each user, and also encourage end users to
change their PINs frequently.
In addition, you can supply a numeric extension number and one or more aliases for each user. These additional identifiers provide flexibility for both call addressing and user interface access.
You assign a numeric-only identifier to your SIPxNano users so that:
• Callers can dial numbers, rather than full SIP URLs, to address calls
• End users can access SIPxNano features, including voicemail, from the phone top
Either a user’s required User ID or the optional extension can be the numeric-only identifier. If you assign
numeric User IDs to your users, an additional extension is not needed.
NoteIf you use extensions, all User IDs and extensions must be unique (the same
number cannot be used as both a User ID and an extension).
You can employ an alphanumeric naming convention for your SIPxNano User IDs. For example, a User ID
can be made up of a first initial and last name (jsmith), or from first and last names (jane_smith); as a result,
end users can have the same identifier that they use for email. Alternatively, User IDs can reflect extension
numbers, Direct Inward Dialing (DID) telephone numbers, or some other numbering scheme that you
administer.
When you add a user, SIPxNano automatically sets up a user line with a SIP URL based on the new User ID so
that calls can be directed to that user. This line automatically registers with the Comm Server’s SipRegistrar
component for each SIP phone assigned to the user. SIPxNano stores all registered SIP URLs in the Registration database. For more information on Registrations, see the section “Registrations” on page 74 in Chapter 7,
“Diagnostics” .
Users17
SIPxNano IP-PBX Getting Started Guide 3 • Users
Extensions
In general, if you assign User IDs that include alphabetic characters you will also set up a numeric extension for
each user. If you assign numeric-only User IDs to your users, an additional extension may not be needed.
When you set up an extension or alias for a User ID, SIPxNano automatically adds them to a database of User
IDs and all of the extensions and aliases associated with each one. The components of the Comm Server use
this Alias database, as well as the lines stored in the Registration database, to help the Comm Server route
incoming calls: regardless of whether a call is addressed to a User ID, an extension number, or an alias, SIPxNano routes the call correctly to the user’s assigned device(s) (see table 2).
Table 2. User IDS and SIP URLs
User information:Dialed SIP URL:
User ID = jsmithsip:jsmith@example.com
Extension = 123sip:123@example.com
Alias = jane_smithsip:jane_smith@example.com
SIPxNano also stores all extensions in its Extension database. If an end user logs in to a voicemail inbox from
the phone top interface with an extension number, the Media Server uses this database to confirm the log in
data.
If you use extensions to identify users, you can use extension pools to manage the set of usable extensions and
keep track of numbers that have already been assigned to users.
• Extension pools are not hierarchical, and each extension number can only be assigned to a single pool. You
might set up just one pool for your installation, or several pools to reflect different geographical locations,
departments, or other organizational structures.
• When you add a new user, you can supply an extension either by typing in an extension number, or by
choosing the next available extension from a pool. Since SIPxNano extensions must be unique to each user,
using an extension pool can help speed up the assignment and data entry process.
For information on setting up extension pools, see “Extension Pool” on page 24.
NoteTo prevent certain values from being assigned to users as either extensions or
User IDs, you can place numbers in the “reserved” extension pool. For
example, you can add the extensions that identify the Voicemail and Auto
Attendant applications to the reserved extension pool. If you do so, those
numbers cannot be inadvertently used to identify users.
Users18
SIPxNano IP-PBX Getting Started Guide 3 • Users
Aliases
Unlike User IDs and extensions, SIPxNano aliases do not need to be unique. End users cannot use an alias to
log in to the SIPxNano interface or the phone top interface.
You can set up zero, one, or more aliases for a user. Because they are not unique, you can use an alias to associate a single identifier with several different users. For example, you can assign an alias of “sales” to each of the
users in the sales department.
NoteFor the entity “sales” to have a dedicated voicemail inbox, you must set up a
separate SIPxNano user with a User ID of sales and a unique extension. An
end user can then use the extension to access voicemail for the sales user.
Another example of an alias is one that resembles an email address, which callers from VoIP phones may find
easier to remember than a phone number. That is, for a user with a SIPxNano User ID of 2435 and an email
address of
dial 2435; callers from SIP phones could dial the SIP URL
erman@example.com, using the correct domain for your SIPxNano server).
rsherman@example.com, you might supply an alias of rsherman. Callers from PSTN phones could
sip:rsherman@SIPxNano.example.com (or sip:rsh-
When you set up an alias for a User ID, SIPxNano automatically adds it to the Alias database. The components
of the Comm Server use the Alias database to route incoming calls.
