D-Link DVX-1000 User Manual

Section ² - Configuration

DVX-1000 can be configured through the following interfaces:

• The web interface

• Command Line Interface (refer to page 70)

The following section provides details regarding how the DVX system can be configured through these interfaces.

System configuration and call monitoring are solely the privileges of users configured as administrators. DVX-1000 ships

with a single administrator already configured (for security reasons, we recommend changing the default administrator

password). Regular users are allowed to configure only their individual features.

Configuration

The DVX-1000 web interface can be accessed from any web browser supporting frames and java script. Internet

explorer (Version 6.0 and above) is the preferred browser.

The web interface can be accessed using the URL

http://IPADDRESS, where IPADDRESS is the address

assigned to the DVX-1000.

Select

Admin

from the drop-down menu and enter the

user Extension (

ipbbx

) and your password (

ipbbx

by

default). Click

Login

to continue.

The system configuration page can be accessed by

clicking the system configuration link from the DVX-1000

web interface.

Section ² - Configuration

Dynamic IP Address

DVX-1000 can be configured to get it’s IP through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). To enable this, select

DHCP and click on

Apply

.

Please note that on some browsers, redirection to the new IP is not possible. In this case, the new IP has to be

ascertained from the CLI interface and the corresponding web page should be accessed.

Static IP Address

Assigning a static IP for the DVX-1000 is the recommended method for IP configuration as it is advisable to have the

call server work on a fixed IP address. To configure a static IP for DVX-1000, select static and enter an IP, subnet mask

and gateway. Click

Apply

.

Please note that on some browsers, redirection to the new IP is not possible. In this case simply access the new static

IP that you have now configured for the board from the web.

Configuring the IP Settings

IP configuration for the DVX-1000 board can be static or through DHCP. The default factory setting for IP is 10.0.0.1. To

bring the board up for the first time; configure an IP for the board from the CLI interface. Subsequently, all configurations

can be done through the web interface by accessing the board’s configured IP.

Section ² - Configuration

DVX-1000 can either be configured to get its time through manual configuration or through Network Time Protocol

(NTP). It ships with a factory default setting of 1st of January 2005 10.10 a.m. A large fraction of the call server data

is dependent on the system time. This data includes registrations, feature time settings and call detail records (CDR)

amongst others. Changing the time configuration has to be done with a lot of caution. Changing the time to a time

prior to the current time would be a malicious attempt to invalidate the call detail records and extend registrations. The

administrator should be wary of this. Changing the time to one in the future should be done taking into account the

fact that current registrations may expire at the new time specified and hence phones may have to re-register to get

the calls started.

Time Configuration

Setting the system time manually

In order to set the time manually, access the system configuration page. Under time configuration, choose manual and

modify the time to the required value. Now click apply. The time should now be set to the new one.

Automatically configuring the system time using NTP

DVX-1000 can synchronize its system time with an NTP server that has been configured. This server could either be a

local LAN NTP server, that in turn synchronizes with a stratum 1 or stratum 2 NTP server, or directly a stratum1 or 2 NTP

server that is relevant to your network. Access the system configuration page, under time configuration, choose NTP

and specify the primary and secondary NTP servers. Select the appropriate time zone. Click

Apply

. The NTP servers

will be tried for a predefined number of times and if these attempts fail, the present system time will be retained.

Note:

Daylight savings time is automatically supported by DVX-1000 provided the system is configured to get the time

from an NTP server and the correct time zone is selected.

SMTP Server

DVX-1000 uses an Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server to send notifications by email. The server IP address

and port have to be configured correctly for delivering mails. The default administrative user’s email id will be used

as the sender’s address for sending notification mails. The SMTP server has to be an open relay mail server since

DVX-1000 does not provide sender authentication credentials.
