CSG SIP Communications Gateway Operation/Reference Guide

Bonjour (Zero-Configuration) Client

You can also log on to the CSG by using a zero-configuration networking client that allows you to determine
the unit’s IP address, such as Bonjour or a similar zero-configuration client. Zero-configuration (or Zeroconf,
also known as "Bonjour") technology provides a general method to discover services on a local area network.
In essence, it allows you to set up a network without any configuration, as described below.
You may need a zero-configuration client to determine the IP address of the CSG. There are many
zero-configuration clients available. However, for the purposes of this document, we will refer to Bonjour for
Windows. It is free, and widely available for download. If you don’t already have it installed on your PC,
download and install Bonjour for Windows before you begin.
Perform these steps to log on to the CSG through Bonjour for Windows:

1.

With Bonjour for Windows running on a PC that has access to the LAN on which the CSG resides,
connect the CSG to the network (see the Installing the Hardware section on page 9.)

2.

In Bonjour, you will see the unit join the network at power up (FIG. 10). Double-click the CSG link
to access the CSG Login page (FIG. 9).

3.

To log on to the system, enter the following user name and password:



Username:

Bonjour for Windows - screen

As shown in FIG. 10, Bonjour for Windows operates as a plug-in to Internet Explorer
(version 7 shown), and is displayed in the IE Explorer Bar. If you have installed
Bonjour for Windows, but don’t see the Bonjour toolbar icon, you may need to
"unlock" and expand the toolbars to see it.
