The licenses are activated in the
OpenCom 100 Configurator, in the
SYS Configuration: Licenses menu.
The system software contains one license for a time-limited (60 days) demo-version. Please contact your dealer or your DeTeWe representative if you wish to purchase a permanent license. The licenses can be combined; each license can only be activated once.
Installation
The installation takes place via a setup programme. The
OpenPhone IPC can also be installed without an user interface. The programme can then be used via a CTI application (Net-TAPI or OpenCTI).
Start the installation programme from the OpenPhone IPC product CD and follow the installation assistant’s instructions.
Configuration
Analogue to the VoIP system telephones, the OpenPhone IPC creates multiple IP connections to the
OpenCom 100. When you start the programme for the first time the Op-
tions dialogue is automatically opened. Here you must configure the following values:
1. Enter in the VoIP IP Address field the OpenCom 100’s IP address.
2. Enter the selected MAC address’ six hexadecimal-digits into the
Device ID field. This is configured in the Configurator, on the
PBX Configuration: Ports: VoIP
Phones page.
3. Confirm with OK.
Notes
The VoIP system telephony requires the active creation of an IP connection to the workplace computer. If there is an firewall programme installed on the workplace computer, you might need to explicitly grant this connection creation.
If you login on the workplace computer using a different user name, then you must reconfigure these values.
For the device ID you can use any, not already in the LAN used, MAC address. Select a random device-ID/
Voice over IP (VoIP) OpenPhone IPC

MAC-address to secure telephone usage. The device ID can only be read-off via the Web console.
The displayed menu texts and parts of the operations software are elements of the OpenPhone IPC installation, however, if required, are loaded from the OpenCom 100 via
TFTP.

PBX Cascading
As requirements grow, the
OpenCom 100 can be operated together with other PBX installations.
If you merely need a larger number of connections, it is easy to link a second PBX (PBX Cascading). If you want to operate the OpenCom 100 at several locations with different
PBXs, this is possible by PBX Net-
working (see page 114).
Note: It is not possible to cascade
an OpenCom 131 with another communications system.
Variants of PBX Cascading
You can combine two PBXs in order to increase the number of terminals that can be connected. A master PBX and a slave PBX are connected to one another by means of two cables.
The two PBXs essentially function

PBXs from the product family can be used for cascading:

For the PBX Cascading you will need a license. The license agreement provides you with the necessary steps to activate this function.

Functionality of PBX Cascading
PBX cascading requires two twistedpair leads with RJ45 plugs between the PBXs:
■
Administration data: one CAT-5
Ethernet lead.
■
Voice data: one lead with all eight pins wired 1 to 1. Connect this to the PCM ports of the
PBXs. The shielded CAT-5 lead may be up to three meters long.
– In the case of an
OpenCom 130, connect the
LAN2 port of the master system’s add-on module with a LAN2 port of the slave system’s add-on module.
The PCM port is on the add-on module of the OpenCom 130.
You must therefore install an add-on module in each of the two PBXs before they can be cascaded.
– In the case of an
OpenCom 150, connect the
LAN1 port of the master system with a LAN1 port of the slave system.

Functionality of PBX Cascading PBX Cascading
Putting a Cascaded PBX into Operation
Proceed as follows to put a cascaded
PBX system into operation:
1. Take the additional slave system out of its packaging and place it in immediate proximity to the master system. Connect a system telephone to the slave system for a later performance check. Use the U pn
1 press-fit terminal of the basic module (only
OpenCom 130) or one of the U pn ports of an interface card.
7. In the PBX Configuration:
Ports: Slots dialogue of the master system’s Configurator, click on Slave. Select the slave
Type in the Slave: Change dialogue.
If a possible slave system was detected when the system was started, there is an additional entry in the Type field (“Online:
PBX type”). If you select this entry, the settings for Type and
MAC address are applied automatically.
2. Back up the master system data.
For further information, refer to the online help topic SYS Con-
figuration: Data Backup.
Please note: If you change the
type of slave system later on, the port settings that have been made will be deleted.
3. Switch off the master system if it is operating. Disconnect the module from the power supply by pulling out the mains plug.
4. If necessary, install the add-on module for the master system. If you use an OpenCom 130 as the slave system, you also have to install an add-on module.
The master system then initialises the slave system. This may involve transfer of firmware (operating software) from the master system to the slave system.
The transfer process is only executed for two OpenCom 130/150
PBXs. This can take a few minutes.
5. Connect the two modules by means of two suitable cables as described above.
6. Power on the two PBXs. The order in which you do this does not matter.
8. Configure the system telephone connected to the slave system for testing purposes in the Con-
figurator. In the
PBX Configuration: Ports: Upn dialogue, click on one of the additionally displayed entries of
