2 Accessing Web Administration
For upgrades to the software on the server, navigate to the Maintenance > Update web
administration page. Supported web browsers for Allworx server administration include:
• IE 8, 9
• Google Chrome (Latest Release)
• Modzilla Firefox (Latest Release)
The administrative interface to the Allworx server is accessed using a web browser via the LAN
interface on TCP port 8080. If the network settings are set to the factory defaults, connect to this
interface:
1. Plug the PC into the server’s LAN port.
2. Set up the network interface on the PC to obtain an IP address automatically (using DHCP).
3. Verify that the PC has an IP address on the 192.168.2.x network. It may be necessary to
release and renew the IP address on the PC to get an address from the server.
4. Click Start and type cmd in the Search field. A command window opens.
a. Type ipconfig /release at the prompt and press enter. This clears the current IP settings
from the PC.
b. Type ipconfig /renew at the prompt and press enter. This obtains a new IP address for
the PC.
. .
5. Open the browser and enter the URL
http://192.168.2.254:8080. When the Welcome to
Allworx page displays, log in using "admin" as the default username and password. 0.
When the Allworx server mode is set to NAT/Firewall, NAT/Firewall with DMZ or NAT/Firewall with
Stealth DMZ, the administrative interface to the Allworx server may also be accessed via the WAN
interface on TCP port 8080. Enable this feature by clicking the checkbox labeled Allow admin
configuration on WAN interface on the Network Configuration page. After enabling this feature and
rebooting the Allworx server, open your browser and enter the URL of http://<Server WAN IP
Address>:8080.
Note: The WAN administrative option is not available with T1 or PPPoE WAN configurations.
2.1 User Roles
User Permission Levels enable the Allworx Server Administrator to delegate portions of management
of the Allworx server to one or more users. Users perform these management tasks using the existing
Allworx administration pages with access to the areas in which they have permission using their
