Setting Initial System Configuration
Upon initial power up, the system uses DHCP to establish a network connection. If the site is not
running a DHCP server, you must provide site-specific IP addresses and other network information
before you can begin programming the system in DB Programming. You can also program the
database offline using the Offline Mode option in the System Administration & Diagnostics
application.
To complete the initial system configuration, use the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel and controls
on the front of the server. The LCD allows you to navigate various menus and options provided by
the LCD application. For detailed information about the LCD application menus and options, see
“Using the LCD Panel“ on page 169 .
To set initial configuration options:
1. Obtain the required network information from the site administrator.
2. Power on the server. (See “Powering Up the System” on page 1-247 .) The server IP addresses
are assigned through DHCP.
3. From the idle menu ( MiVoice Office 250 ), press the down arrow button to navigate to the
Network menu.
To navigate to and select menu options:
a. Press the up or down arrow buttons to see the available options.
b. When the appropriate option is displayed, press the center button to select it.
c. Press the center button again to confirm the selection.
4. Press the down arrow button to configure the following:
• IP Address : Use the static IP settings provided by your network administrator.
• Subnet Mask : Use the static IP settings provided by your network administrator.
• Gateway : Use the static IP settings provided by your network administrator.
• DHCP : Disable DHCP.
NOTICE
To avoid system malfunctions observe the following rules when installing a MiVoice Office 250:
• DHCP is enabled by default to allow the system to become operational upon boot up. After the
system has booted up, replace the DHCP address(es) with static IP addresses. If using a DHCP
server, the IP address may change, dropping any CT Gateway and/or Voice Processing connections.
• IP Addresses, subnet mask, and gateways: it is not necessary that the CT Gateway be on the same
LAN as the IP address and subnet mask of the system.
• Systems equipped with a Processor Expansion Card (PEC-1) have two IP addresses—one for the
Processor Module (PM-1) and one for the PEC-1. Both IP addresses MUST be on the same subnet
mask.
