8 Server Configuration
The Allworx 6x provides an administrative interface to configure and administer the server. The administrative
interface is accessed using a web browser. Assuming the network settings are set to their factory defaults, the
steps to connect to this interface are:
1. Plug your PC directly into the LAN port.
2. Set up the PC’s network interface to obtain an IP address automatically (using DHCP).
3. You may need to release and renew the PC’s IP address to get an address from the server.
4. Verify that the PC has an IP address on the 192.168.2.xxx network.
5. Open your browser and enter the URL of http://192.168.2.254:8080 or current IP address.
6. When the Welcome to Allworx page appears, login using the default password of admin.
When the Home page appears, click on the Install Checklist
link (on the left hand side) to bring up a new
window containing steps necessary to set up a new system. Each brief step description is followed by a link to
get to the appropriate administrative web page to execute the step. These steps are ordered to aid in a
successful configuration. Most of the web pages to execute each step contain all the descriptions and help
necessary to carry out the step. Use the
Allworx System Administrator’s Guide
to supplement the information
on the web pages, when necessary.
If the server has been previously configured for another installation, you should restore it to its factory default
configuration. This can be done by:
1. Rebooting the server to Safe Mode.
2. Format the disk and perform a Software Update (see
Allworx System Administration Guide
for instructions).
