External access
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.
Alternatively, the PBX can be configured remotely.
Caution:Every time port forwarding is performed, there is a security risk. Therefore, only carry out remote configuration via a VPN tunnel or via the Auerswald Remote Access (ARA) Server.
Note:With version 2.2 of the COMtrexx Control Center, remote configuration can be initiated via the Auerswald Remote Access (ARA) Server in future.Different functions such as configuration switching can, if necessary, also be proceeded using an external phone.
