Connect the PC to the PBX:• Connect the PBX to a network with the LAN port and access the PBX from a PC in your LAN or VPN.For details, refer to "Connection via LAN", "Connection via Virtual Private Network (VPN) " and"4.11.1 LAN Connection for the Main Unit".• Connect the PBX to a network with the LAN port and access the PBX from a PC using an Internetconnection. For details, refer to "Connection via Internet" and "4.11.1 LAN Connection for the MainUnit".• Connect the PBX to a PC through analogue remote (RMT card) or ISDN remote. For detail, refer to"5.5.2 PC Programming" in the Feature Guide.2. Access Web Maintenance Console:LAN or VPN Connection:Launch your Web browser and input the IP address of the PBX followed by the Web Maintenance Consoleport number into the address bar. The input method will differ according to the PC’s connection to the PBX.The default IP address for the LAN port of the PBX is 192.168.0.101, and the default Web MaintenanceConsole port number is 80. Accordingly, the address to enter to connect to the PBX for the first time willbe as follows (enter the address exactly as shown):http://192.168.0.101NoteThe default subnet mask for the LAN port is 255.255.255.0.MNT Port Connection:Launch your Web browser and in the address bar, enter one of the following addresses exactly as shown:– 223.0.0.1or– http://kx-ns500.Note• If entering "http://kx-ns500.", be sure to include the period at the end as shown.• The default subnet mask for the MNT port is 255.255.255.0.• If it takes a long time to connect when 223.0.0.1 is entered, configure a static IP address to theLAN connected to the PC.Internet Connection (SSL Connection):When the PC is accessing the PBX from a connection over the internet, the use of SSL is stronglyrecommended. When using an SSL encrypted connection, the default port is 443. The format of the addressto enter to connect to the PBX using an SSL encrypted connection will be as follows:https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyy• "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the IP address of a device that can be accessed from the Internet, such as theIP address of a network router.• "yyy" is a port number. The network router’s port forwarding settings must be configured so that trafficarriving at port "yyy" is forwarded to the correct IP address and port of the PBX in the LAN.• Port forwarding settings must specify the IP address and the port number of the network router("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyy") to transfer the packets to the PBX in the LAN, so that the packets sent to theInstallation Manual 1575.3 Starting Web Maintenance Console
