4.3 Configure the Connect Server
Prior to deploying the Connect server, it is best practice to set the time on the server and upgrade the
server to the latest Allworx System Software version. Upgrading the Connect server to the latest
Allworx System Software version ensures that all checklist items and Allworx system features are
available for immediate use.
New Connect servers come with a temporary Software Upgrade feature key that is valid for one year
from date of activation to perform these upgrades. After one year, Connect servers require the
Software Upgrade Feature Key available for purchase from the Allworx Distributor.
To configure a Connect server:
1.
Plug a PC into the server ETH0 port and set up the PC network interface to obtain an IP address
automatically (using DHCP).
2.
Verify the PC network port configuration is DHCP (default PC configuration).
3.
Verify the PC has an IP address in the range of 192.168.2.X It may be necessary to release and
renew the PC IP address to get an address from the server.
