Change the IP Address of the PBX
This topic describes how to use NFC to quickly set up network of Yeastar P-Series PBX
System by Linkus Mobile Client.

Background information
Yeastar P-Series PBX System has a physical NFC tag containing NFC chip behind Yeast-
ar logo, which allows an NFC-capable phone with Linkus Mobile Client installed to write net-
work data to or read network data from the chip.
The default IP address is 192.168.5.150. When the PBX is in factory state, you can use
NFC to change the PBX's IP address, and then access the PBX web interface directly via
the newly assigned IP address.

Restrictions & Requirements

Restrictions

• Only when the system is in factory state can you write configurations to
the system by NFC.
• You can use NFC to write configuration only ONCE. After the writing is
completed, the NFC feature can only be used to read configuration.

Requirements
Your mobile phone and Linkus Mobile Client must meet the following require-
ments:

Table 7.
Device Requirement

Mobile phone • For Android: Any phones that have activated

NFC feature.

• For iOS: Phones that meet all of the followings:

# iPhone 8 or later.
# iOS 13 or later.
# NFC feature has been enabled.

Linkus Mobile Client • Linkus Android Client: Version 3.4.18 or later.

• Linkus iOS Client: Version 3.4.18 or later.

Procedure

1. Open NFC scanning page on Linkus Mobile Client.

a. Open Linkus Mobile Client.
 Installation Guide | 5 - Change the IP Address of the PBX | 33

b. At the bottom of the Linkus login page, tap NFC and tap Scan.

2. Scan the PBX's NFC tag.

a. Keep your phone's NFC detection area against the Yeastar logo that is on the
PBX's front panel.
The NFC tag is detected and you're redirected to the network configuration
page.
3. Configure PBX network.
a. In the Basic section, select an Ethernet mode from the drop-down list.
• Single: Only LAN port is used for connection, WAN port is disabled.
• Bridge: LAN port is used for connection, WAN port is used as bridge for
PC connection.
• Dual: Both LAN port and WAN port are used for connection.

Note: You need to specify a default network interface for the PBX, the
traffic will be routed to the default interface.
b. Configure network settings, and tap Next.
c. In the pop-up dialog box, tap Confirm.
4. Write NFC data to the PBX.
a. Keep your phone's NFC detection area against the Yeastar logo that is on the
PBX's front panel till you are prompted "Writing successfully".
Device information and network settings of the PBX are displayed on the page.
b. Reboot the PBX to take effect.

Note: You can also write NFC data first, then power on the PBX to take ef-
fect.
