Alcatel Unleashed

Hello

I am the admin for a small company, which use an OmniPCX Office phone system.
I wish to login to our box using the PM5 mgmt tools we got with the system. The easiest way to do so would be to use the LAN connection however since we dont use the firewall/internet sharing capabilities of the device we don't know its IP address.

Since we did not ask for an omnipcx with internet gateway capabilities I'm not sure that it is LAN enabled but it does have the "Business Processing Unit" module which includes a LAN-interface.
When I connect the omnipcx to our switch using this interface the switch registers a 100mbit connection on the switch-port being used. I take this as a sign that the box is indeed LAN enabled.
However, I have not been able to find the ip adress of the box yet. It does not get an address from our dhcp server (obviously since its meant to be a gateway) and scans of the ip ranges 192.168.x.*, x=0,1,65 yields nothing.

What might the ip address be? And in case it has been changed by my reseller, is there a way to reset it without clearing all the information currently stored?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

I talked to my reseller who told me that the (default, according to him) ip address is 192.168.92.246 on subnet 255.255.255.0.

Yep. 192.168.92.246 is definately the default address. If you want to change it, connect to the old IP address with PM5, check under Hardware & Limits > IP Addresses, and change the main system IP.

As the IP stack is built into the Kernel, you will require a reboot to make this change take place.
