In this procedure, you will set up a direct, one-to-one connection between a PC and the Px. You will
boot the Px in Configuration Mode and manually configure its Boot Server IP Address.
A. If the Px has already been powered on, disconnect power.
B. If a cable is plugged into the Network port, disconnect it.
C. Set up the PC’s network interface to obtain an IP address automatically (using DHCP).
D. Apply power to the Px.
E. Wait until the power and port LEDs light solid amber (about 45 seconds). Connect the PC’s
network port to the Px’s Network port with a standard RJ-45 category 5 Ethernet cable.
F. Verify that the PC has an IP address on the 192.168.2.xxx network by typing ipconfig /all in a
command window on the PC.
G. If the PC did not receive the address, it may be necessary to release and renew the PC’s IP
address using the ipconfig command in a command window.
H. Open a web browser on the PC and enter http://192.168.2.254 into the browser’s address field.
The Px’s Configuration screen is displayed.
I. Navigate to the Boot Server IP Address field. Enter the IP address of the Allworx Server on which
the Px will be installed.
J. Scroll to the New Password field. If it is empty, the Px’s administrator password has not been set.
We recommend you create a site-specific password and enter it into the New Password field. Re-
enter the password in the Confirm Password field.
K. Click Update. The Px’s Update Result screen is displayed.
L. Click Restart and click OK on the confirmation box.
M. As soon as the Power LED begins flashing, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Px’s Network
port.
N. When the Power LED lights solid amber, disconnect power.
O. Connect the Px to the site’s network then re-apply power.
The Px’s Power LED will flash green for up to three minutes. When it stops flashing and lights solid
green, installation of the Px on the Allworx server is complete.
