About This Guide 

 Thank you for choosing a XBLUE QB PBX (Quad-Band PBX) server. XBLUE QB Series PBX 
servers are a stand-alone telephone system providing the user with an on-premise, fully-featured 
business telephone system. Your XBLUE QB PBX is an advanced application telephone system in 
an IP server format connected using your 

local area network. QB Series PBX’s are hybrids capable 

of PSTN (Regular Phone Lines), VoIP Phone Lines, GSM Telephone Lines, or LTE Telephone 
Lines/Data Circuit (for voice communications). The configuration of your server depends upon the 
Package you’ve purchased.  

This guide is intended to get your telephone system functioning quickly. XBLUE pioneered the self-

install business telephone system in 2007 and continues to deliver easy to install and administer 
business phone systems in a DIY fashion to save you money. However, if you need help, we are 
available to assist you. Call us for a conversation with a live, technically-capable person if needed at 
866-925-8312. This guide will cover connection and access of the server and XBLUE IP Phones 
and connection of analog telephone lines. 

Your QB PBX is an advanced application product that is best adapted into a network by preparing 

for the installation. First gather information about your office network to prepare to connect your QB 
PBX into that environment. 

Synopsis of what follows to get your telephone system functional: 

1.  Find your netwo

rk IP Address scheme (Subnet)… 

a.  A LAN (Local Area Network) is a Private network that cannot be navigated via the 

internet. Private IP Address segments begin with 192.168.x.x, or 172.16-31.x.x, or 
10.x.x.x  

2.  Find the IP Address of your router 
3.  Connect LAN port of the QB server to the existing network. 
4.  Connect all XBLUE IP7g telephones to the existing network. 
5.  Using an internet browser (Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari) visit the Advanced IP 

Scanner website and use that utility to discover the IP Address that your network has 
assigned to the QB server. 

6.  Set that IP as RESERVED in your network router. [If you use an ISP router (Comcast, Time 

Warner, Frontier, etc.) you can contact them for help with this step.] 

7.  Using your browser, log into the QB server using the IP Address discovered. 
8.  Run QB Server Auto Provisioning application to set the extension numbers of each of the 

phones connected. 

After completing these steps, the QB server and IP7g telephones will be functional for the usual 

operations required in business communications. There are many ways to customize your caller 
experiences and many features available. Enjoy your QB server, IP7g telephones and all that is 
possible using the guides we’ve loaded on our website for easy reference. 

Defaults (what is set at the factory): 

  Extension range is set 101 

– 599 

  All extensions have an associated voicemail box with a password that is the extension 

number 

  Extensions assigned are 101 

– 199 depending on the server 

  All telephone lines are set to ring into Queue 6700 

  When no one answers an incoming call, after 25 seconds that caller is routed to the IVR 

(Auto Attendant) where they hear the default greeting for the Day answering mode 

  All outward calling is limited to numbers beginning with a 2-9 or numbers that begin with a 

“1” but no longer than 11-digits 

  Paging Group 6300 is set for the first 25 extensions 

  Voice CODEC usage is set for G.711u as the first choice and G.722 as the second choice
