7.2 Local Connection
When properly connected to the server LAN, the Allworx Px 6/2 will be configured automatically. This should
require no manual steps, although it is recommended that the password be set in accordance with the
procedure, above. To ensure the automatic configuration is successful, perform the following steps:
1. If the Port Expander has already been powered on, disconnect power.
2. Connect the Network port of the Port Expander to the LAN of the Allworx server per the diagram above
using a standard RJ-45 category 5 Ethernet cable.
3. Apply power to the Port Expander.
4. Observe the Power LED. During power up, it will flash green. When the LED stops flashing and shines
solid green, the Port Expander has received any software updates and has been configured. This may take
as long as five (5) minutes. It is now ready for CO lines and analog phones to be connected to its FXO and
FXS ports.
5. If the Power LED does not shine solid green within five (5) minutes. Unplug and re-plug the Port
Expander’s power adapter.
6. Activate the FXO and FXS ports through the Web Admin page on the Allworx Server. Refer to the Allworx
System Administrator’s Guide, Release 6.9
or higher for information on configuring the ports.
