IPX-2000(V2) SOP for the Stackable Management Internet Telephony PBX System
Overview What is stackable Operation Modes Consolidated Management Lab environment Configuration Case I: Stack multiple IP PBX boxes at a time Case II: Stack a new IP PBX box with an existing running box Case III: Add more than one slave boxes to an existing stack Case IV: use SIP 305 or SIP 302 function Case V : Remove slave boxes from stack Q & A Agenda
PLANET IP PBX is scalable and allows you to enlarge capacity by stacking up to four IP PBX boxes to form a cluster. It only operate on PLANET IPX-2000 so far. Overview What is stackable
PLANET IP PBX provides three modes: Standalone mode Master mode Slave mode The default modeis standalone mode while there is no cluster and IP PBX box works independently. Once a cluster is formed, only one IP PBX box runs in master mode, and rest of boxes run in slave mode in the cluster. For instance, with full-capacity case, there would be one master box and 3 slave boxes in a cluster. Select System – Stackable to see the current operation mode of each IP PBX box. Overview Operation Modes
Stackable Management page of the master box not only indicates IP addresses of current slave boxes in a cluster but also allows you to add new slave boxes to the cluster or remove slave boxes from the cluster. Within a cluster, any update of configuration information to the master box would affect all slave boxes automatically. As a result, you shallonly configure the master box to take control over the whole cluster in most case1. Meanwhile, all boxes within the same cluster share the same registration information and work as one single box Case1However, for SIP and PSTN trunks and Meet-me conferences, you need to configure them respectively on each box in stack. It is similar to how you configure them in standalone mode. Case2 For Registration Load Balance function, you need to configure them respectively on each box in stack. Overview Consolidated Management
Notice items Ensure all boxes have factory default settings before being stacked. Ensure all boxes have TCP routing to each other via LAN interfaces if they are in different local networks. Select one of the boxes to be the master box. Others are slave boxes consequently Make sure both master and slave box IP are all in the same segment. . Configurations Case I: Stack multiple IP PBX boxes at a time
1. Change the LAN IP of the slave box in order to avoid the same IP as the master box. Select PBX System -> System -> On-board LAN Setup to modify IP address Case I: Stack multiple IP PBX boxes at a time
2. Please stopped the DHCP service of PBX as the following illustration. Select PBX System -> Service -> DHCP Service to disable the DHCP Service Case I: Stack multiple IP PBX boxes at a time
3. For each slave box, go to System -> Stackable page to specify the master’s IP address and click APPLY Case I: Stack multiple IP PBX boxes at a time STEP 1 : Enter the master’s IP address STEP2 : Click APPLY
4. Go to Service -> IP PBX Service and click RELOAD and RESTART to reflect the changes Case I: Stack multiple IP PBX boxes at a time
5. For the master box, go to System -> Stackable page. Select Enable Master Mode check box, enter IP address and port of a slave box, and then click ADD, one by one for each of them. Case I: Stack multiple IP PBX boxes at a time STEP 1 : Enable Master Mode STEP 3 : Click ADD STEP 2 : Enter IP address of the slave box
6. Go toService -> IP PBX Service and click RELOAD and RESTART to reflect the changes Case I: Stack multiple IP PBX boxes at a time
All boxes are stacked and a cluster is formed. You can start to configure extensions etc. on master box to make internal calls possible. You can also configure SIP and PSTN trunks on each box to enable inbound and outbound calls. Any configuration change in stack requires RELOAD in Service -> IP PBX Service of master box. Case I: Stack multiple IP PBX boxes at a time
This case means that there is a standalone box up running for a while. Now you would like to add a new box to form a cluster. Therefore, the standalone box will become a master box later. Notice items Ensure all boxes have TCP routing to each other via LAN interfaces if they are in different local networks. Select one of the boxes to be the master box. Others are slave boxes consequently Make sure both master and slave box IP are all in the same segment. Case II: Stack a new IP PBX box with an existing running box
1.Change the LAN IP of the slave box in order to avoid the same IP as the master box .Select PBX System -> System -> On-board LAN Setup to modify IP address Case II: Stack a new IP PBX box with an existing running box

STEP 2 : Click PUT FILE
5. Go to Service -> IP PBX Service and click RELOAD and RESTART to reflect the changes Case II: Stack a new IP PBX box with an existing running box

What is SIP 305 Register these three IP Phones to the stacked IP PBXs cluster and set the registrar server of these three phones to the master IP PBX And enable the use 305 option under the load balance function to check does the IP Phone accepts the SIP 305 (use proxy only) .If These three IP Phones separated register on different IP PBX then the test pass , if these three IP Phones all register on the master IP PBX then the test failed. Case IV: Use SIP 305 or SIP 305 function
What is SIP 302 Register these three IP Phones to the stacked IP PBXs cluster and set the registrar server of these three phones to the master IP PBX And enable the use 305 option under the load balance function to check does the IP Phone accepts the SIP 302 (move temporary) .If These three IP Phones separated register on different IP PBX then the test pass , if these three IP Phones all register on the master IP PBX then the test failed. Case IV: Use SIP 305 or SIP 305 function
Notice items Make sure if the PBX box has become stack then You can just use the SIP 302 or 305 function. Please remember to register the BB Phone again after settings then the load balance function will be enable. Case IV: Use SIP 305 or SIP 305 function
