Configuration
1. The Com.X1 has been pre-configured with each iTA device sold with the unit
(/etc/comma.conf), including the MAC address and IP address configuration of each unit.
2. The Dahdi and mISDN configuration files have also been pre-configured to match the
configuration of the Comma units.
3. The comma manager, Dahdi, mISDN, Asterisk and Comma-GUI start automatically on
system start-up.
NOTE: The Comma unit is reconfigured from the information on the server on every power-up
or reset. Firmware upgrades made available on the Com.X1 server thus become active on the
next iTA restart.
Identifying connected iTAs
1. From the GUI, select the Hardware panel. A Scan of the network will list additional
devices.
2.
Alternatively, from the server, type the following:
commals v
3. Connected iTA devices will be identified by their MAC addresses and IP addresses if
connected correctly, and the hardware configuration and software versions will be listed.
4. If IP addresses are not listed, the unit may be connected in the wrong order. Connect the
units to different Com.X1 Ethernet ports. The units' MAC addresses can be viewed with
their interface configuration in /etc/comma.conf in order to determine the correct
connection order.
