¶ Introduction
This Configuration Guide is written as general guide on how to configure the Obihai ATA model OBi508 to work with PBXware 4.1.
¶ Requirements
¶ Identifying ATA model
To start and successfully complete registration of your Obihai ATA you need to know which ATA model you will setup.
From the back of each Obihai device there are exact model information that you should check. Although different ATA models can have exactly the same requirements and installation procedure, ATA models can also have significantly different requirements and installation procedure, so that ignorance of your own model may result in the inability to successfully set up your phone.
¶ Phone firmware
- Make sure that your device is loaded with appropriate firmware version,4.0.1.
- To find out the firmware version of your Obihai ATA model open a new browser window and enter your phone IP address in order to access the phone web administration interface login screen. Example: http://192.168.1.22.
- Login to phone web administration interface with your username and password. Please note, factory default login details are username: admin and password: admin.
¶ DHCP server
Fully configured and operational DHCP server.
¶ PBXware version
PBXware version 4.1.2.0
In order to find out the PBXware version:
- Login to PBXware
- Navigate to Settings: About.
On the top of About page is a code similar to this one PBXware Edition: Business, Release: 4.1.2.0 (387597b7), Running: 1.8.32.1-gc-b47edc45, PBXware Proxy v4.1.2 (62b7bcd), API: 4.1, libmemcached version: 1.0.14, where Release denotes the exact version of your PBXware.
¶ Installation
This chapter describes how to install and setup your device for Auto provisioning with PBXware.
¶ Basic Setup
- Connect the DC plug on the power adapter to the DC port on the phone and connect the other end of the power adapter into an electrical power outlet.
- Connect the ethernet cable between the Internet port on the phone and the network port on a router or switch to access LAN.
- Connect analog phone to Phone 1 port.
Now we need to get IP address of the device so pick up the phone and dial:
- *** - enter configuration menu
- 1 - IP address announcement
If needed, Enable Web Management Access from WAN port and get your Obihai ATA IP Address when DHCP server is enabled in network
After you connected analog phone to your ATA device pick up the phone and dial:
- *** - enter configuration menu
- 0 - Other options
- 30# - Enable Web Management Access from WAN port
- 1 - Enter new value
- 1# - Enable web interface access
- 1 - Save changes
This will enable access to ATAs web interface for easier setup and configuration.
Write down IP address for future reference. If procedure above was completed you should be able to reach ATA web interface by entering announced IP address in your browsers address bar.
