Connect to the Call Server remotely
If the PCS 410/400/100 is to be installed at a remote location, eg via a VPN connection, the phone should
be configured with the IP address of the Call Server it is to connect to as follows.
1
Follow steps 1-7 as described above to telnet on to the phone and access Setnet.
2
Press Enter until the line “Startup arguments” appears.
3
Type in
–gk <ip address of call server>
eg –gk 192.168.0.1, and press Enter
4
Continue to press Enter until you are asked if you wish to save the changes. Enter
y
.
5
Telnet will display that the changes have been saved.
6
When finished enter
poweroff
and the PCS will reboot.
If the Call Server is to collect BLF data from this
remote phone enter
–blf
after the IP address of
the call server, eg –gk 192.168.0.1 –blf. The Call
Server will then multicast this BLF information to
all PCSs on the system.
If there are more than one remote IP Phone
connected to the system one of these phones
can be configured to collect the BLF data from all
the remote phones and send this to the system.
This can be achieved by entering
–relay
after the IP address, eg –gk 192.168.0.1 –relay. The other phones
would then just be configured with the IP address of the call server, eg –gk 192.168.0.1.
It is recommended that no more than 5-6 remote IP phones should be configured to use this facility in
order to keep the overhead on the Call Server to a minimum.
To remove this entry repeat steps 1 and 2 above. Delete the entry within Startup arguments and press
Enter. Continue with steps 4, 5 and 6 above.
