The ELX025 appliance is configured by default with the following static IP address on its Ethernet interface: 192.168.1.251/255.255.255.0

Note: if it is not already configured that way, you may need to set your PC or laptop’s network interface card (NIC) to have an IP address like

192.168.1.X/255.255.255.0. If this is not possible, contact Technical Assistance

(See page 7)

Once the appliance is connected to your network, you can access the Elastix

Admin Interface through a web browser. Just direct your browser to

At the login screen use the following information to access the system: o Username: admin o Password: palosanto

7. Change the IP address (optional)

If needed, change the IP address of your appliance so that it matches the address scheme of your local area network (LAN). At the Elastix web user interface go to: System  Network , here you can configure the global network parameters of your appliance as well as the individual parameters of the network interface. We recommend the use of an static IP address. (Figure
