Managing IP Addresses of IP Phones via iPBX
For iPBX to fully exercise VoIP and provisioning services for your company , it is necessary to allocate a range of IP
addresses specifically for IP Phone use. To fully utilize the VoIP system QoS and maintenance features provided
by iPBX and to ensure enterprise network security, it is strongly suggest to have iPBX manage the IP addresses of
IP Phones.
Having planned the a static IP addresses for iPBX LAN interface and IP address range for IP Phone use, we shall
start to configure iPBX’s DHCP server to assign IP addresses to IP Phones. Power on iPBX, and connect iPBX LAN
interface to the corporate LAN, and configure LAN interface IP address. As the example stated in section 1.2.1, IT
manager assigns a static IP address to iPBX LAN interface, i.e, 192.168.2.2.

device.’ If you want iPBX also to assign IP addresses to other network devices (non-IP Phone devices),
leave this item unchecked.
