Your PBX is typically shipped pre-installed on servers purchased from us. A CD-ROM may be downloaded or shipped for trial or for purchase. Contact our sales department for more information.


To Install your PBX from the installation CD

  • Verify that your computer BIOS is setup to boot first to the CD or DVD drive that you will be installing from. Refer to your computer or motherboard documentation for information about setting your computers boot order. The image below illustrates what a BIOS setup screen might look like on your computer.
  • Insert the your PBX CD and restart your computer.

Your server reboots and the CD begins the process of installing the PBX software. 

 Note: This process will erase the entire contents of your hard drive and create a dedicated PBX appliance.
  • Press Enter when the logo displays and the installation process begins copying the operating system and the PBX files and programs to your computer. 
 Note: The computer will reboot twice during the installation process.
  • Remove the installation CD before or shortly after the reboot to prevent the installation process from restarting.

After the first reboot a boot loader screen appears, the installation process continues until the successful installation screen appears. 

 Note: This process will take approximately 7 minutes.
  • Press any key to stop the 30 second countdown and enter configuration mode.
  • Press the spacebar to configure the device. 
 Note: This process will take approximately 15 minutes.
  • Press Enter to reboot the server.
  • After the software loads, press any key to stop the 30 second countdown.
  • Press the spacebar to select Configure.
  • Press the spacebar to select Use dynamic IP configuration (BOOTP/DHCP) then press the tab key to navigate to the OK button and press the spacebar to select.
  • Press the spacebar to begin configuration.

The software configuration begins and is complete when the IP Address displays on the screen.

  • Write down the IP Address displayed on the screen. 
 Note:  This IP Address will be used later.  If your screen does not display an IP Address, run the netconfig command from the 
lockout screen (“You no longer need to do anything directly from this console screen”) to manually configure network settings.
