XBLUE Hybrid-IP Business Telephone System Quick Installation Guide
For more details on powering up the X25, X50 & X50XL XBLUE Servers see “Product Support” on our website at xblue.com.
To prepare, consider the following and answer questions...
1.Installation is simplified since your XBLUE Hybrid-IP system utilizes Ethernet network wiring.
2.Your XBLUE Hybrid-IP server should be located near the internet connection in your office where the
ISP (Internet Service Provider) hookup is located.
3.If you’re going to use standard telephone lines (telephone company or cable company) the server must
be located where telephone/cable company lines are terminated from the telephone/cable company
(interconnection point) or the telephone lines must be wired to where you will locate the server.
4.Do you have an existing network?
1.If so, will you retain the existing network router as the gateway to the internet? Or will you change
your network configuration using the XBLUE Server as the internet gateway (“edge” device)?
2.Will the existing network wireless (WIFI) be used? (preferred-won’t affect existing) Or,
3.Will the wireless (WIFI) of the XBLUE Hybrid-IP server be used?
5.Whichever router you use as the internet gateway that router takes on the responsibility of network
protection. If you use the XBLUE server as the internet gateway make sure that you secure the server
against internet attackers... see the guide on our website (xblue.com): “Additional Security for XBLUE
Hybrid-IP Servers” under Product Support - X25 or X50.
6.Will your application include remote XBLUE IP Telephones? (XBLUE IP Telephones located at off-site
locations other than where the server is located, like a home office).
1.XBLUE IP Telephones can be used anywhere there is an internet connection*.
Prepare the following:
1.Obtain a Static IP Address from your ISP. This will be used at the server location so that the
phones placed at other locations can identify the location of the XBLUE server.
2.The XBLUE server MUST be the edge device (gateway to the Internet).
Answering the questions above will make the installation easier and get your system working fast.

Congratulations on the purchase of your
XBLUE Hybrid-IP Telephone System!
Hybrid means this system
connects to analog telephone lines
(regular phone lines) or
VOIP (Cloud) telephone lines.
Or BOTH!
* Speed matters! A good internet connection is required when using VOIP Lines and/or remote phones.
No Programming Required! Your XBLUE Hybrid-IP system is factory set for the following:
•Extension 101 is the Attendant Extension (dial 0 from other extensions and the Automated Attendant)
•All incoming telephone line calls will ring at all registered extensions
•After ringing all phones for 20 seconds, callers are answered by the Automated Attendant
•The buttons labeled 1-4 on the phone are pre-programmed for use with the standard telephone lines 1-4
•WIFI Defaults: SSID: XBN-GW-XXXXXX , Security: WPA2-PSK, Password: x61ue{25}[50]

Powering Up:
1.Determine which Connection Method you will use in your application (see opposite side).
2.Before connecting the telephones to the network connect ONLY the Server. On new installations where the server is
installed and ready, each telephone connected to the network is automatically configured and assigned an extension
number in sequence beginning with extension 101.
3.Plug in the server power cord and switch the in-line switch on the power cord to ON.
The X25 / X50 / X50XL will be fully powered up and operational when the power LED stops flashing.
4.Plug in each XBLUE IP telephone to the network as you want them numbered (101...).
5.If you’re using standard telephone lines connect them to the server LINE ports.
6.VOIP telephone lines are programmed in the server and connect over the internet.
7.When all telephone lines are connnected to the server and all XBLUE IP telephones are connected to the network your
system will be functional. Lines ring at all phones.
8.MANY custom programming options are available and accessed via a web browser. Not all browsers are the same...
Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are good products that work well. Safari does not work well with our server.
9.Use an Ethernet cable and connect a PC to the XBLUE server via the LAN port (or data switch connected to the LAN
port) and access the system using IP Address: 192.168.10.1:8850... this entire address which includes the port number
must be entered to access the programming interface. (NOTE: to program via the WAN port the HTTP option MUST be
enabled.)
10.Once properly input, the login screen will appear. Login using the default Username and password:
USERNAME: admin2583
PASSWORD: adminXXXXXX (”XXXXXX” is the last six characters of the MAC Address)
Find your server MAC Address on the label on the back side of the server.
Note: Programming the X50/X50XL automatically starts a wizard but we have found that the wizard
usually causes people to make changes they don’t need to make... skipping the wizard is usually best.
Just go the bottom of each wizard page, click on NEXT and then Save and Reboot at the end. The X25
Wizard is optional and accessed from the menu on the webpage programming.

Simplest Connection Method
Does NOT support Remote Phones
Connecting your XBLUE Server to an existing network
is the easiest installation since it will not change your
current network configuration. In this configuration the
WAN Port only of the XBLUE server is used (the LAN
port is not used).

Notes:
•* The ISP modem and Router may

that does both functions.
•Its best to use only one WIFI
Access Point in any one
environment.
•If you’re using WIFI on your

the WIFI on the XBLUE Server.

XBLUE Server as Router (Internet Gateway) Connection Method
Best performance and supports Remote Phones
Your XBLUE Server can host your network... Your XBLUE Hybrid-IP
Server is also a Router and WIFI Access Point. This Connection Method
supports Remote Phones! (XBLUE IP Phones located in other locations.)

Telephone Line Connections
Standard Telephone Lines
(A.K.A. PSTN or Analog Lines)
The X25, X50 and X50XL servers are ready to go. The X25
has 4 analog line ports and the X50/X50XL has 6 analog line
ports. Standard telephone lines may be delivered in many
ways... if you have a standard telephone line gateway (like
the Arris unit pictured) it’ll be easy to connect your standard
lines to the XBLUE Hybrid-IP server.
If your standard lines are coming into your building in a
different way, request that your service provider terminate them
on “RJ11” connectors - which can then be plug-to-plug
connected into the server as well.
Using the Telephone Line Cables provided, just connect each
telephone line from the service provider to the XBLUE server
corresponding Line port.
VoIP Telephone Lines (CLOUD Lines)
VoIP Telephone Lines connect over the internet. No other
hardware (Port) connection is required. Call XBLUE for service
suggestions. VoIP Telephone Line subscriptions made with
XBLUE includes free product support beyond the first year.
Connecting a FAX, Cordless, or Speakerphone
Port for one analog device (TEL). Use this
analog port for connection of a FAX Machine
cordless telephone or high-end speakerphone.

1.Many network configurations are possible. See more examples on our website xblue.com
2.XBLUE Hybrid-IP Servers adhere to XBLUE’s Do It Yourself designs and are most often easy to install, however
complex routers and firewalls may require professional assistance. XBLUE will make every effort to assist you but
does not provide technical support for other manufacturer routers or firewalls.
Notes:
•For remote phones you MUST
program a static IP Address
from your ISP on the XBLUE
server WAN port.
•Remote phones must be
programmed with the ISP Static
IP Address.
(See the video on xblue.com
under support. “How To Setup
X25 / X50 Off Premise
Extension”.)
•If you are NOT using remote
phones a WAN Static IP
Address is not required.
•See the video “Added Security
for XBLUE Hybrid-IP
Servers”.
•Your existing network devices
will be re-addressed to the
XBLUE Server IP Address
scheme (192.168.10.xxx).
•LAN Static IP Address assigned
devices (printers, servers, etc.)
must be set to the XBLUE
Server IP Address scheme.
•Available IP Addresses for LAN
Static devices are
192.168.10.151-
192.168.10.253 (All others are
reserved!)
•Its best to use only one WIFI
Access Point in any one
environment.
NOTE: This connection technique places your server onto the
internet and therefore MUST be secured against hacker attacks.
