Configuration Options
Aside from configuration over the internal network, there is also the option of remote configuration under certain conditions via alternative connections.
The connected system phones can also be configured over the PBX under certain conditions.
You can use the following connection options to configure (either remotely or directly) the PBX and the ISDN system telephones connected to it:
Important: If the Configuration Manager of the PBX can be reached from the Internet via port forwarding, we strongly recommend for security reasons, to deactivate port forwarding and only use VPN or the (Auerswald) Remote Access Server.Configuring the PBX via the In-house Network
The PBX is usually configured via an internal network connection. The PC you use to do this must be connected to the same network as the PBX.
Configuring the PBX Remotely via the Internet with (Auerswald) Remote Access Server
Remote configuration of the PBX can be accessed via the page (Auerswald) Remote Access on the Internet. This requires a dealer access via the Internet and enabling of the (Auerswald) Remote Access.
Using the PBX (Internal) to Configure internal ISDN System Phones
You can configure internal ISDN system phones via an indirect connection using the PBX. Before you can do this, you must install the ISDN system phone's COMfortel Set configuration software on the PC you are going to use.
Configuring internal ISDN System Phones Remotely via a PBX's external S0 port
You can remotely configure the ISDN system phone indirectly via an external ISDN connection using the PBX and a device which is connected to both the external S0 port on the PBX and to the PC (for example ISDN PC controller). The PBX must be configured accordingly. Before you can do this, you must install the ISDN system phone's configuration software on the PC you are going to use.
