Device Configuration (Zenitel Connect Pro)

This article describes how to add devices and stations to Zenitel Connect Pro (ZCP).

Software requirements

• Check the Software compatibility to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.

The 1st generation of Zenitel IP devices (INCA based) are not supported.

Scanning the network for devices

Before adding devices to Zenitel Connect Pro, ensure they are restored to factory defaults using DHCP, and connected to the network.

If there is no DHCP server in the network, see Adding Devices with Static IP Address If you are having issues with discovery or configuration of devices, see Troubleshooting guide

Select Devices and Connections > Configuration from the web interface.

• When subnets are defined, click Start Scan .

List of devices discovered by Zenitel Connect Pro

After the devices are discovered, one can identify a device by pressing the "play" icon . The device will then play a sound in the loudspeaker for 6 seconds. The Identify feature works with native Zenitel devices only.

Assign Number and Name

There are two options:

• Select Click to assign, and enter a new Directory Number and Name, or
• Select Click to assign, and pick a predefined number from the drop-down list. These are numbers that have been Imported from Excel Spreadsheet, or have been by Manually added in advance.

The Zenitel Connect Pro will now push configuration out to the device, the device will register to the server, and should get the Operational Status "Operational" in the web interface. The device is now operational.

Note that if the MAC-address was included on predefined devices, the device will automatically be assigned.
