4 VoiBridge CONFIGURATION
4.1
Prerequisites
There are some preliminary requirements that you must fulfill in order to manage sucessfully one or
several VOXI equipments.
To be able to use the Topex gateway, you must first configure it properly. The equipment
comes form the manufacturer with default settings for the WAN and LAN addresses, username,
passwords, etc. The default IP address on the LAN side,
192.168.110.15
, may NOT be suited for
your local network. This means that you must replace it with this factory-set IP with an address that
fits your particular requirements.
The configuration of the VoiBridge equipment
requires several steps: first, you must
connect directly to the Topex equipment and change its default IP address, which is currently
192.168.110.15. You may also change the time/date, if the local time differs from the preset one.
Only after changing the IP address you may connect the gateway to your local network and
use the OAM program to manage it
.
Otherwise you may have in your LAN several equipments with the same IP address and this
will cause IP conflicts,
the network won’t operate
! Of course, if the network doesn’t work, you cannot
access the Topex gateway in order to change its address. This is why we recommend that the first
connection to the equipment is done by direct link (either by serial cable or via Ethernet cable
connected directly to your computer, not in the local network).
You can assign to the Topex gateway either a private, non routable address (such as those in
the ranges 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255, 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255)
that is accessible only in your LAN, or a public, routable address (like 89.156.194.203,
211.234.111.13 and so on ) which can be accessed anywhere in the world via Internet.
When you move the gateway to another location or office, or if you send it back to Topex for
upgrade or repairs, you should remember to restore the default IP address!
To configure the Topex gateway, perform the following steps:
Achieve a direct connection (by serial interface or SSH) to the VoiBridge equipment
Change the default IP address
Set up the local time of the equipment
Install the OAM application
Configure the equipment from the OAM application
