PLANET IP PBX user’s manual

2.4 On-board LAN Setup

The On-board LAN Setup page allows administrator to configure LAN network interface for P LANET
IP PBX.

1. Select System -> On-board LAN Setup to see the current settings of LAN network interface.

2. Enter a new IP address and network mask.

3. Click “APPLY” to change the settings.

Note: By default PLANET IP PBX grants IP addresses to LAN devices via DHCP, and translates

those addresses into its W A N IP address for access beyond the LAN subnet. As a result,
modifying the system LAN IP subnet must also change DHCP pool and LAN routing (if any)
accordingly. After configuration, go to Service -> IP PBX Service, and click Restart to active
the changes.

2.5 LAN Routing

To enable static routing among LAN subnets, enter network information and the IP address of the
corresponding gateway in the IP PBX’s LAN. It is important to assure that the given gateway IP
address sits in the IP PBX’s LAN. Each subnet requires an entry even multiple subnets share the
same gateway, unless masking does the same. Examples are adding IP Route IDs net1 and net2 with
parameters 192.168.128.0/255.255.255.0, 192.168.129.0/255.255.255.0, shared gateway

192.168.1.254 respectively. Or, IP Route ID net1n2 with 192.168.128.0/255.255.254.0 and gateway

192.168.1.254 would do the same. Added routes enable routing immediately after clicking ADD.
However, the IP PBX Service needs to be restarted to regard calls from designated LAN subnets as
LAN traffic. Go to Service -> IP PBX Service, and click Restart to regard calls as LAN traffic.

PLANET IP PBX user’s manual

1. Select a route ID.

2. Click DEL to remove the route ID from the IP Route ID
column.

2.6 Dynamic DNS Setup

Dynamic WAN IP address causes difficulty for inbound connections from remote clients or IP PBX
systems. A popular work-around is to adopt domain names provided by Dynamic DNS service
providers and run a client on or behind the gateway router (or IP PBX). It is required to apply an
account and create a hostname in the account before configuration. Click Enable, give account
information and refresh interval to activate a Dynamic DNS client. The client then uses Username
and Password to access its account and update the Hostname with the latest WAN IP address at

DynDNS or 3322.net Service in Interval seconds periodically.

Enable Dynamic DNS

Typical hostname has a form of <hostname>.dyndns.org or
<hostname>.3322.net. The refresh interval is usually between

60 – 600 seconds depending on the volatility of WAN IP
assignment.

1. Click Enable.

2. Click DynDNS or 3322.net in the Service list.

3. Enter the Username, Password, Hostname, and
Interval.

4. Click APPLY.

Disable Dynamic DNS Click Disable, and then click APPLY.

PLANET IP PBX user’s manual

2.7 QoS Setup

To assure the bandwidth reserved for the outgoing VoIP traffic over regular data traffic from LAN, the
QoS Setup page offers three parameters to characterize the WAN link. The default QoS setting is
disabled because these parameters must be correctly given according to the actual WAN speed.

Enable QoS

1. Click Enable

2. Enter the WAN Uplink Speed, WAN Downlink Speed, and Uplink
VoIP Reserved (bandwidth).

3. Click APPLY.

For a popular 2M/256K ADSL program, the WAN uplink speed would be
256 and the WAN downlink speed would be 2048. The Uplink VoIP
reserved could be, say, 192 out of the total 256 kbps to allow 2 concurrent
G.711 calls.

Disable QoS Click Disable, and then click APPLY.

2.8 Virtual Server

You can configure PLANET IP PBX as a virtual server for remote users to access services such as
the Web or FTP at your local site via Public IP Addresses. With proper settings, PLANET IP PBX can
automatically redirect inbound traffic from WAN to local servers configured with private IP addresses.
In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP) port number, the IP PBX redirects the
external service request to the appropriate internal server (located at one of your LAN's Private IP
Address). To enable access servers in LAN from a machine beyond WAN, select System -> Virtual
Server to configure port mappings. Service ID names the service. Protocol and Port specify the
TCP/UDP port number on WAN IP to be forwarded to the Forward to Port of Forward to IP in LAN.
Say 192.168.1.5 is a Mail Server to be seen from outside, one should configure TCP port 25 to be
forwarded to 192.168.1.5 port 25.

4.1 User Configuration

A user is a logical entity in IP telephony which associates extensions with a usergroup. It also
propagates its attributes such as e-mail and voicemail PIN to extensions. Usually a user refers to a
real person who has a name and e-mail; however, one can always create virtual users to associate
with public extensions. For example, extensions in reception, break room, and lab areas.

The User Management page allows the administrator to manage users in the IP telephony network.
Select User Management -> User, and one can add, edit, and delete users. Go to Service -> IP PBX

Service, and click RELOAD to activate changes.

A usergroup is a logically grouping of users and their privileges. For instance, one could have couple
of usergroups in an IP telephony network, e.g. Sales, Marketing, Administration, Accounting, and
Engineering, etc. Each usergroup associates with a set of PBX features and call routing scope s. In
other words, all users in the same usergroup share the same reachability of PBX features and final
destinations.

number starting from a digit larger or equal to 2 and with an extra
prefix digit 9.

Number of Stripped Digits

Number of leading digits to be stripped from the original dialed
number when matches this route. Using 9NXXXXXX as an example
route pattern with number of stripped digits equal to 1, dialing
95270001 will be stripped to be 5270001 when it actually got dialed
out.

Prefix

A sequence of digits to be prefixed to the final dialed number after
stripping. Using 9NXXXXXX as an example route pattern with
number of stripped digits equal to 1 and prefix 1408, dialing
95270001 will be 14085270001 when it actually got dialed out.
A special prefix character “w” could be used for PSTN trunks to
pause 0.5 second during dialing. Say, 4 leading consecutive “w”
result in 2 seconds delay before dialing.

4.5 Route Group Configuration

A routegroup groups routes into a logical superset of route patterns. Such abbreviation simplifies the

4.8 Terminal Trunk Configuration (IPX-2000, IPX-1803 and IPX-1804 only)

A SIP trunk terminal refers to a SIP account for a remote SIP trunk to register with. It terminates SIP
registration and invitation from a remote IP PBX and relay calls to local clients, PSTN trunks, or
further SIP trunks. In a site-to-site SIP trunking application, a SIP trunk on one side usually pairs with
a trunk terminal on the other side to form a unidirectional call hand-off path. To allow trunking in the
other direction, the two sides swap roles and form another pair. Since a terminal trunk is the account
for a SIP trunk to authenticate with, exact the same identifier and password must be used for both.

The TERMINAL TRUNK MANAGEMENT page allows the administrator to configure trunk terminals
used by PLANET IP PBX. Select Trunk -> Terminal Trunk, and one can add, edit and delete
terminals. Go to Service -> IP PBX Service, and click RELOAD to activate changes.
