setting up a BCM50e with IP phones, everything works great internally, can't access remotely ( but can access the router ) where are the settings for the WAN on the BCM , manuals direct me to the router settings, can't find them, HELP!
HELP!

You should be able to find them under Configuration, System, IP Subsystem

thanks,
i thought that IP Subsystem pertains to the internal LAN, please advise

I'm thinking that the router tab is under there, though I'm posting this from memory.

I'll get into one of my lab systems tomorrow AM and find it.

and get back to you.

thanks , i will wait to hear from you

also , this is on a 2.0 ( BCM50e )
FYI

Anybody !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The "router" IS the WAN on the BCM. If you can see that, you already have access to what you need.

My guess is that you're not using an appropriate access method to communicate with the BCM. The correct method is a simple RAS connection (use Windows Dial-up Networking). Check your RAS IP address. It should be on the 10.10.14.0 subnet by default. Then, access the system in the normal fashion (using the unit's address on the RAS network).

Good Luck!

Great!, i have assigned the BCM50 its own static IP address, where is the RAS IP address? this appears to be my only hang up, the 10.10.14.0 does not look familiar, sounds like my problem , just need to know where the settings are. Also, is there a way to disable the internal router?


please advise

Oooops! It just occurred to me that you're not trying to DIAL into this thing. That is what I was giving you instruction for. If you're not dialing in, forget about the 10.10.14.0 network.

So, to access via IP... I wouldn't recommend a Public IP address on the BCM itself. Your best bet is to access through a VPN tunnel. And, as luck would have it, you've got a 2.0 version so VPN clients are supported. If you would rather not configure a VPN, use the dial-up method.

As for disabling the router (you pay extra for that you know ). Just disable DHCP, remove any conflicting addressing, and unplug the WAN port.

i would rather not configure a vpn or use dial up, is it possible to disable the router, so that i only connect to the bcm ( via Element mgr )
the BCM400 allows remote access with no problem, how would i set a public IP address on the BCM50?

appreciate your help,

thanks

ANY device that allows configuration/maintenance via a user defined IP address CAN be accessed over the public Internet. That doesn't mean that it should be setup that way.

Are you the owner of the BCM, or does it belong to your customer?

Marty, point well taken, BCM50 belongs to me, is it possible to set an IP address for remote access on the bcm50? if so where in the element mgr would i find the settings.

still need help guys!
