IntroductionChapter 1 1

Overview

PLANET IPX-600 IP PBX Systems are designed and optimized for the SMB and SOHO daily communications. Due to the IPX-600 is so easy to configure a fully working system with the convenience and cost advantages, the IPX-600 is the next generation voice communication platform for the SOHO and Home Office. Designed as an open, scalable and highly reliable telephony solution, the future IP PBX System offers all of the essential features of telephony which is required for small business/enterprise users on their telecommunication/data needs.

The IPX-600 is an embedded system with built-in SIP proxy server and NAT functions that make it perfect for enterprise usage. The IPX-600 provides not only basic call functions on traditional PBX System but also many advanced functions including voice mail to email, web management, roaming etc. It is impossible on traditional PBX. Designed to run on a variety of VoIP applications, the IPX-600 provides centralized call control, auto-attendant, voice conferencing and IP-based communications. The IPX-600 utilizes standard phone lines via an interfaces of FXO gateway to become a feature-rich PBX System that supports seamless communications among existing local calls, IP phones and SIP-based endpoints, including low cost long distance service, telephone number portability and one network for both voice and data.

The system’s stability is established by a very stable embedded system platform and the SD (Secure Digital) memory card storage. Since all the system configurations (including voice mail) are stored in the SD card storage, you could restore the whole system by just putting the SD card to a new IPX-600 if the system is damaged. There is no re-configuration needed. In this way, the effort of maintenance is minimized.

With the IPX-600, standard SIP phones can be easily integrated in your office. You may integrate PLANET IP Phone VIP-154T series, IPX-600, and the VIP-156 / VIP-157 of ATA (analog telephone adapter) series. And Gateway serves VIP-281/VIP-480/VIP-880/VIP-1680/VIP-2480 to build up the VoIP network deployment in minutes.

Allowing distributed IP technology to meet traditional voice services with proactive managed interface, the IPX-600 for enterprises in the daily business processes can make people more productive, more intelligent tasks and more customer satisfaction.

Preparations & Installation

Physical Installation Requirement

This chapter illustrates basic installation of IPX-600

Network cables. Use standard 10/100BaseTX network (UTP) cables with RJ-45 connectors.

TCP/IP protocol must be installed on all PCs.

For Internet Access, an Internet Access account with an ISP, and either of a DSL or Cable modem (for WAN port usage)

Administration Interface

PLANET IPX-600 provides GUI (Web based, Graphical User Interface) for machine management and administration.

Web configuration access:

To start IPX-600 web configuration, you must have one of these web browsers installed on computer for management

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher with Java support

Default LAN interface IP address of IPX-600 is 192.168.0.1. You may now open your web browser, and insert 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of your web browser to logon IPX-600 web configuration page.

IPX-600 will prompt for logon username/password, please enter: admin / 123 to continue machine administration.

Figure3. Input prompt

After input username/password, it will get into the configuration main men of IPX-600.

Figure 4. First web page of IPX-600

Please locate your PC in the same network segment Note (192.168.0.x) of IPX-600. If you’re not familiar with

TCP/IP, please refer to related chapter on user’s manual CD or consult your network administrator for proper network configurations.

LAN/WAN interface quick configurations

Nature of PLANET IPX-600 is an IP Sharing (NAT) device, it comes with two default IP addresses, and default LAN side IP address is “192.168.0.1”, default WAN side IP address is “172.16.0.1 (port number is 8080). You may use any PC to connect to the LAN port of IPX-600 to start machine administration.

Hint

In general cases, the LAN IP address is the default gateway of LAN side workstations for Internet access, and the WAN IP of IPX-600 are the IP address for remote calling party to connect with.

Configuring and monitoring your IPX-600 from web browser

The IPX-600 integrates a web-based graphical user interface that can cover most configurations and machine status monitoring. Via standard, web browser, you can configure and check machine status from anywhere around the world.

Overview on the web interface of IPX-600

With web graphical user interface, you may have:

More comprehensive setting feels than traditional command line interface.

Provides user input data fields, check boxes, and for changing machine configuration settings

Network Setup

Click the Network Setup item on the main menu; you will see the following web page.

1.LAN: You can change the LAN IP Address and Subnet Mask of the IPX-600 here. If there is already another DHCP server or another NAT/Router device existed in the LAN network, you must make sure that they are not using the same sub network.

2.WAN: You can configure the WAN IP as PPPoE, DHCP or static IP depending on the internet connection method provided for the IPX-600 in the office.

3.NTP: To get the real time from internet, you need to choose the correct Time Zone of your area. If the default NTP servers cannot work in your area, you have to find the workable NTP servers and set the values in these fields. (In almost all cases, just use the default NTP server and everything should be fine).

DHCP Server

By clicking the DHCP Server page, you can configure the DHCP server of the IPX-600. You can specify the DHCP Server IP Pool Start IP and DHCP Server IP Pool End IP.

IPX-600 could possibly get the DNS server from ISP (using PPPoE or DHCP), if you want this DNS server information passed to DHCP client, you can check on Provide Real DNS Server option.

In the Dynamic DHCP Client List, you can see the active DHCP client lists.

The IPX-600 works as a SIP proxy server for the other SIP devices,

 

any SIP devices can register to IPX-600 to the WAN IP or LAN IP

Port

addresses, you can change the port of this proxy server by

modifying the Port field in the IP PBX Configuration page. The

 

 

default value is 5060. The allowed value for this field is between 1

 

and 65535.

 

 

 

This is the range of ports used by the IPX-600 for RTP transmission

RTP Port Range

and reception. All the calls routed through IPX-600, including call to

 

auto-attendant, will have the RTP port in this range.

 

 

Remote/PBX Codec

IPX-600 will determine the remote call codec by this selection. Also

the IP Phone will use this codec to access the voicemail and IVR.

 

 

 

DTMF

This is the DTMF relay detection method used by IPX-600 when a

 

 

18

call is connected between registered devices. IPX-600 cannot support Inband DTMF when the Remote/PBX Codec is G.723 or G.729.

This field can determine if the other SIP devices needed to be authenticated if they try to register to IPX-600. If this field is

Authentication

enabled, only those devices with the correct accounts listed in the User Management page are allowed to register into IPX-600

This is the max allowed calls for a single IP Phone in the same time.

Concurrent Calls

If want the call waiting function to work, set this filed to a value

per User

bigger than two.

This is the max allowed calls for the whole IPX-600 system in the

Maximum System

same time, that includes inter-extension calls and incoming and

Parallel Call

outgoing calls. The allowed value for this field is between 1 and 60.

This is the prefix number for incoming call from other IPX-600, with this prefix; the calls between IPX-600 could be like an

Inter-PBX Call In inter-extension calls. The way it works like this - the dialed number Prefix outside of the other IPX-600 will be prefixed with this prefix

number , and before incoming into this IPX-600, this prefix number will be removed, and call into the specific extension number.
