Setting Up Your System
The CSG comes with a grapgical user interface which gives you the ability to
configure it through an easy to use interface. To access the interface, you will
need the IP address your CSG server is using. Once you have the IP address,
you can configure your CSG via a web browser.
The user interface provided with the CSG gives you the ability to set up a
telephone system without the need to use command line configuration. The
user interface opens on the main menu, which gives you the ability to add
features or further modify an existing configuration. The following sections
provide information about procedures you may want to perform when you are
getting started.
Logging on to the Server for the First Time
Connect a computer to the LAN IP Phone port on the CSG with an Ethernet
cable. In the address field of a web browser, enter the default IP address of
http://192.168.69.1. To log on to the system, enter the following user name and
password:
• Username: admin
• Password: 1988
Subsequent Logons to the CSG
The method described above will work to log onto the configuration tool of the
CSG. In addition, you can log onto the CSG using the CSG's Network port once
it has been enabled. In this case, open a web browser on a computer which is
located on the same network as the CSG. In the address field of the web
browser, enter the IP address of the CSG as defined during the initial
installation.
Changing Your Network Configuration
DHCP is automatically enabled for Wide-Area Networks (WAN) by default. If
you need to change your network configuration—like set a static IP address,
for example—the Networking Configuration page enables you to make any
necessary changes. Follow these steps to change your network configuration:
1. Select Networking from the list of options on the left side of the screen.
2. Enter the host name for your server.
3. Click Save.
4. Click the WAN tab. You can use the options on this tab to establish the
settings that enable you to connect to the Internet, or to an internal,
private network.
5. Ensure the DHCP check box is checked.
Note: If you have difficulty obtaining an IP address dynamically, clear the
DHCP check box and specify the IP address, subnet, gateway, and DNS
settings. This information should be available from your network administrator
or Internet Service Provider (ISP).
6. Click Save.
7. Click the Timezones tab.
8. Select a time zone from the provided drop-down combo box.
9. Click Apply Changes.
Setting Up Your Touch Panel to Work with Your CSG
Follow these steps to configure your touch panel to work with the CSG:
1. From the main Setup page on your touch panel, press Protected Setup.
The Protected Setup page opens.
2. Press Other Settings. A slide out menu appears.
3. Press SIP. The SIP Settings page opens (FIG. 2).
4. In the Proxy Address field, enter the IP address or DNS name of the
server you want to access. The IP address depends on whether you
connect the touch panel to one of the IP Phone ports or through the LAN
with the CSG.
5. In the Port Number field, enter the port number of the server you want to
access. The default port number is 5060.
6. In the User Name field, enter a user name you can use for authentication
to the server. Normally, the user name is the same as the phone number
assigned to the extension you are using.
7. In the Password field, enter the password for the user name.
8. Press Enable to have your panel read the configuration and attempt to
connect to the proxy server.
9. Press Save.
10. Press Back to return to the previous page.
The firmware for these panels must be up-to-date to use SIP. Refer to your
panel’s user manual for information on upgrading its firmware. Each panel also
has an available module which may be helpful with getting the panel to work
with the CSG.
Firmware Updates
When firmware upgrades are available for the CSG, you can download and
install them on the Upgrade Firmware page after logging onto the server.
Follow these steps to update the firmware on your CSG:
1. Log on to your server using one of the methods described in the above
sections.
2. Select Upgrade from the list of options on the left side of the screen.
3. Indicate whether you want to update your firmware via HTTP URL or
TFTP server by clicking the appropriate option button.
4. Enter the URL or TFTP server address in the space provided.
5. Click Accept.
Setting Up Your MET-ECOM to Work with Your CSG
Metreau Entry Communicators have a built-in web console that allows you to
easily make various configuration settings via a web browser on any PC that
has access to the device. Follow these steps to set up your MET-ECOM to
work with your CSG:
1. Open a web browser and login to the configuration pages for the
MET-ECOM.
