I just configured one of these... It's just weird.. really weird..
The web gui is not organized logically like call comes in here and
goes out there... You have to set it up in four different places to get
calls to go through to the PBX and then another four places (redundant)
to go out again. It has 4 plus ways of selecting a phone line depending
on the source and destination. Also a few of the default settings need
to be changed for it to be able to do anything. It doesn't take dhcp and
the default IP is 10.1.11.12 or something. The only documentation
shipped with the unit I got was a slip of paper telling me the default
IP and login.
There was maybe one good tutorial out there on the net. But it took
a few hours to set it up, not something you wanna do sitting on the
floor of the server room.
If you do use it, pre-configure it with a dummy server and a phone
line and save the config once it is working and ship it out.
