Access types with WebAdmin
There are the following possibilities to access the MiVoice Office 400 communication
server with WebAdmin:
• In the LAN with an Ethernet cable (directly or via a switch)
• Externally via SRM (secure IP remote management)
Note:
External access (ISDN/analogue) with a dial-up connection is only recommended on some con-
ditions, for performance reasons.
First access on LAN
For a first access to the communication server, it is easier if your computer is located
on the same subnet as the PC. If this is not the case, you can also connect the com-
puter directly to the communication server using a LAN cable.

If the IP address of your communication server is not known or if your are setting up an MiVoice
Office 400 communication system for the first time, read the chapter "Getting started", page 37).
Accessing the communication server on the LAN
If the communication server IP address is known, it can be entered directly in the ad-
dress line of a web browser. WebAdmin is started after the access data is entered. The
computer only needs to be located on the same LAN, but not necessarily on the same
subnet.
Accessing the communication server from outside
For remote access to the communication server, we recommend SRM (Secure IP Re-
mote Management) secure IP remote management. For this, you need to install an
SRM agent on your computer with which you can set up a connection to the SRM
server. Thereafter, the SRM server calls the communication server via PSTN and
sends it the connection parameters. The communication server now sets up a secure
connection to the SRM server which switches together them with the connection to the
SRM agent.

User access control
Access to the configuration is password-protected. Any user wanting to log in to a com-
munication server is prompted for his user name and password (access data).
