DHCPServer
Setting Description
DHCP Server Enables or disables the DHCP server feature built into Evolution PBX. The
built in DHCP Server assigns IP Addresses to your network devices
including VoIP telephones.
Note: Only one DHCP server is permitted on a Local Area Network. If the
Evolution PBX DHCP server is enabled then other DHCP Servers on your
network will need to be disabled.
Starting IP The lowest IP Address that will be assigned to devices when the DHCP
server is enabled.
Ending IP The highest IP Address that will be assigned to devices when the DHCP
server is enabled.
Domain The domain name that will be assigned to network devices when DHCP
server is enabled.
Discovery Mode Configures Evolution PBX and the DHCP server for a specific discovery
type.
• (Auto-Polycom and Auto-Non-Polycom) - Discovers new
telephones that are plugged in to your network and automatically
provision the telephones as an extension.
• Disc settings (Disc-Polycom and Disc-Non-Polycom) -
Discovers new telephones that are plugged in to your network and
inform the administrator in the Web interface under Resources,
Phone Extensions but the telephones are not automatically
provisioned.
• Polycom settings (Auto-Polycom and Disc-Polycom) - These
settings are only compatible with Polycom telephones.
• Non-Polycom settings (Auto-Non-Polycom and Disc-Non-
Polycom) - These settings are not compatible with Polycom
telephones but they are compatible with Cisco and Linksys
telephones.
• None - Disables the automatic provisioning and discovery modes of
Evolution PBX.
GeneralSettings
Setting Description
Admin Password The admin password used to access the Evolution PBX Web interface.
Security Level Controls the devices that can retrieve configuration files from Evolution
PBX’s built in provisioning server. Three security levels are available:
• Normal - Allows devices on your local network and devices with the
IP Address as defined under the device configuration as (external IP).
• Insecure - Allows any device.
• Highest - Allows only local network devices.
Time Zone Sets the time zone of the server.
Note:
• The time zone for each extension is configured under the settings for
that extension.
• The system time zone is used for date stamps on call records,
system backup, and other system time stamps.
• The extension time zone is used to show the correct time on
telephones that are compatible with this feature.
Operator Sets the destination of calls to the operator (if routes to the operator are
configured, for example pressing zero in an auto attendant). Select either
a CRT or extension number as a target destination. Based on your
selection your configured CRT and extensions will be available in the drop
down menu. Select the number of the CRT or extension that you want.
Nightly Reboot Enabled sets the server to restart every night at midnight. This is not
required but could be useful if you are doing some custom routing that is
not properly freeing server resources.
Note: PCI cards used for terminating analog and T-1 lines may require
human interaction during the boot up process on some server hardware.
