SYSTEM NETWORKING
The IPitomy System Menu is for configuring network attributes. For example the IP address of the system and
router information. The System Networking Setup Page allows you to define the Internet Setup for the system’s
hardware. The system must operate using a static IP address; DHCP should only be used on the IPitomy IP PBX
if the router is configured to assign a specific static DHCP address to the system.
Figure 16 – Networking Setup Page
The following table describes the fields and recommended settings for Networking Setup for the IP PBX system:
Field Recommended Settings
IP Address Use the default address (192.168.1.249) of the IPitomy IP PBX or an address outside
the range of existing IP addresses assigned by DHCP in the router.
Subnet Mask Leave the default setting for the Subnet Mask as (255.255.255.0). The subnet mask
defines what traffic the PBX will listen and communicate to. A value of 255 means the
octet in question needs to match exactly, while a value of 0 means the octet is not
restricted at all. When the PBX is set to the default IP address, a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 tells the system to communicate with any devices in the 192.168.1.xxx
range.
Default Gateway The default gateway provided is 192.168.1.1. Though this default is a common router
IP, every network is different. Enter the IP address of the router handling their Internet
connection here.
Static DNS Enter the DNS IP address being used on the network. If a default DNS IP address is
not provided by the router it can be obtained from the network’s Internet Service
Provider.
Static DNS2 Enter the DNS IP address being used on the network. If a default DNS IP address is
not provided by the router it can be obtained from the network’s Internet Service
Provider.
