Remote connection of Port Expanders is supported. However, the following
very important cautions must be taken into account:
CAUTION: Correct routing of 911 emergency calls for analog handsets
attached to remote Allworx Port Expanders cannot be guaranteed. Do not
use the Px's FXS ports for handsets from which placing 911 calls may be
attempted.
911 calls placed from a handset connected to an Allworx Px will be routed
using the service rule on the Allworx server. In most cases this will cause
the call to be placed using a line from the server site. The 911 call will
indicate the server site's address to the 911 dispatcher NOT the address of
the remote site. This can result in 911 not being able to route the
emergency response to the correct location.
CAUTION: If the network connection between the Px and the Allworx
server is interrupted, regular use of the Px's FXO and FXS ports will not be
possible. The only option for placing calls through a Px that does not have
a functional network connection to its Allworx server is to plug an analog
phone into the Power Fail port. Calls placed using this phone will be routed
to the CO line connected to FXO port 1. No other ports will be functional.
The Px can be set up in a remote location in the same way as an Allworx
phone. You will need the Allworx server's IP address and its ‘Plug and Play
Secret Key'. If the server is connected directly to the Internet, use its WAN
IP address. If the Allworx server is connected to the Internet through a
firewall, use its Public IP address. These addresses can be found on the
Allworx server admin page under Network > Configuration. The Plug and
Play Secret Key can be found under Servers > VoIP.
To configure the Px, perform the following steps:
First, put the Px in Configuration Mode:
Remove the power and Ethernet cables from the Px unit.
Plug the power back into the Px unit. Make sure the Ethernet is not
connected. Wait for the Power and Port LEDs to go solid amber
(about 45 seconds). This indicates that it is in Configuration Mode.
Then, access the Px's admin page from the service PC:
Connect the service PC directly to the unit using an Ethernet cable.
DHCP is enabled on the Px unit while in Configuration Mode.
Open a command window on the service PC by clicking Start, Run, then
