Important Information
Proper Use
The COMpact 4000 is a telecommunication system; it will be referred to as PBX in the following. This PBX connects various internal devices with various public telecommunication networks, thereby enabling external and internal calls. For this purpose, the PBX provides a number of different ports/interfaces. The PBX is structured modularly. It is suitable for use in the commercial sector (small to midsize companies).
The PBX has a plastic casing for wall mounting. It is intended to be operated in closed rooms. In addition, all of the devices connected to the system must be located in the building.
Some of the functions require an additional hardware extension, a software expansion (activation), activation by the network provider, and/or configuration via the Configuration Manager.

Safety Information
To ensure that you are able to use the device safely and without faults, comply with the notes below. Improper use may, for example, cause functional restrictions, destruction of the device or, in a worst case scenario, personal injury. You will find any necessary additional warning notices about using the device in the relevant sections.
Read the instructions for the device and keep them for future reference.
Connecting Safely

Connect the device as described in these Instructions. Take note of the technical data on the type plate and in these Instructions.
Important Information
Plug the connecting cables of the PBX only into designated and expertly installed sockets.
Only use original accessories and original replacement parts.
Work on active, contact-hazardous parts is only permitted after creating a voltage-free state. Working close to active parts is only permitted if these parts are voltage-free or are protected against direct contact.
Pull out the PBX's power plug before instructing a qualified electrician to open the casing, to install the expansion modules, or to switch or connect equipment. Also disconnect the device from additional power sources (e.g. a UPS, if installed).
Wait for the discharge of any capacitor in the device after disconnecting it from the main power supply. The electrolytic capacitors in the switch-mode power supply and the ringing voltage circuitry can remain charged for a long time.
Do not touch the PBX or any devices connected to it during an electrical storm.
Divert electrostatic charges from yourself before touching the circuit boards with your hands or any tools. To do this, touch a metal object, preferably earthed, such as the PBX's earthing terminal, the 19" casing, or a computer casing.
Hire a qualified electrician to lay the cables within the building – including the cable to the door terminal.
Safe Usage
Only operate the device when the casing is closed.
For some installation and maintenance work it is necessary to open the PBX while it is in operation (qualified electrician only). Make sure that the PBX is never left unattended while running with an open casing.
Only operate the device when it is mounted on the wall.
Never cover the vent slots of the casing.
Protect the devices by installing overvoltage protection.
If possible, provide a separate electric circuit for the connection that supplies the PBX.
Location Characteristics
Only operate the PBX in closed, dry rooms.
Mount the PBX close to an earth wire (potential compensation bar of the house installation or protective earth conductor). Connect the PBX's earth connection to the earth wire with a connecting cable whose conductor diameter is at least 2.5mm
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
Avoid mechanical loads (e. g. vibrations).
Avoid the proximity of devices that generate electro-magnetic fields (e.g. radio sets, professional radio equipment, amateur radio equipment, mobile phones, DECT systems, etc).
Protect the PBX from dirt, excessive dust, condensation caustic liquids and steam.
Note the threshold values indicated in the technical data for voltage, electricity, performance, ambient temperature, and moisture.
Prevent unauthorised access to the PBX and its programming. This installation is not intended for use in areas children could possibly be near.
Limitations on Use
Do not put a damaged PBX into operation.
Do not touch the PBX or any devices connected to it during an electrical storm.
The device is not designed, manufactured, or intended for use or resale, in environments that require fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of life-support systems and/or nuclear facilities. The device may only be used for these purposes with prior written permission from the manufacturer in each individual case.
Do not make any structural changes to the device.
Necessary Knowledge for Configuration
Only a qualified electrician may open the casing, perform installation work within an open casing or service work using the buttons inside the casing. If necessary, commission a specialist to perform this work.
Incomplete or incorrect configuration can be hazardous to people, if for example emergency calls cannot be performed.
The configuration of the product is made via an integrated web server whose pages are called via web browser. The user interface of the web server (Configuration Manager) is available in English and German.
Repair

Warning: Unauthorised changes to the device can damage the PBX or breach security and EMC regulations.

When the LEDs light up in green, the PBX is ready for operation.


Note: If the Power LED remains continuously lit in red, an error has occurred. Please contact your dealer or the manufacturer directly.
First Setup

Warning: Incomplete or incorrect configuration can be hazardous to people, if for example emergency calls cannot be performed.
- The configuration of the product is made via an integrated web server whose pages are called via web browser. The user interface of the web server (Configuration Manager) is available in English and German. If you are not familiar with these
languages and the technical terms, please consult a specialist who is linguistically and professionally qualified.
Information about the Network Connection
Configuring the PBX using a PC is done using the configuration manager integrated in the PBX. This can be accessed via the IP address of the PBX. The IP address to be used depends on your connection and network environment.
- If the PBX is not connected to a router but is connected directly to a single PC which receives its IP address automatically (default setting on Windows and Mac OS X), you can access the PBX via the permanent IP address 169.254.1.240 from the APIA address range.
-
If the PBX is connected to a router that works as a DHCP server and allocates IP addresses to the devices connected (default setting on most routers), you can access the PBX via two IP addresses:
-
Via the permanent IP address 169.254.1.240 from the APIPA address range.
- Via the IP address allocated by the DHCP server.

Note: If the permanent IP address from the APIA address range is not working, you will first have to learn the IP address allocated by the DHCP server. You have the following options:
- If the UPnP service is installed and activated on the PC (e. g. on Windows 8), the PBX can be found and selected in the network environment as "COMpact 4000" device.
- You can use a network scanner (f. e. Angry IP Scanner).
- You can connect a CLIP-capable analogue telephone and query the IP address by entering the character string # # 8^*941# and then hanging up the receiver.

Important: If you wish to operate the PBX in a network where IP addresses are allocated permanently, you must first connect a CLIP-capable analogue telephone and adapt the IP configuration of the PBX for operation in the network (see next chapter).
Configuring a Permanent IP Address in the PBX
- Pick up the receiver of an internal telephone.
- In sequence, dial ##8, the 6-digit admin PIN (none in the factory settings) and 9300#.
You will hear the confirmation tone (pulsating tone).
The DHCP client function is disabled in the PBX.
- Hang up the receiver and then pick it up again.
- In sequence, dial ##8, the 6-digit admin PIN (none in the factory settings), 931, the 12-digit IP address (e.g. for 192.168.2.10: 192168002010) and #.
You will hear the confirmation tone (pulsating tone).
The entered IP address has been configured in the PBX (for subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
- Hang up the receiver.
Opening the Configuration Manager
Requirements:
PC with a min. screen resolution of 1024 x 768
- Recommended Browser: Mozilla Firefox (current version), Google Chrome (current version)
- Enter the IP address of the PBX in the address field of the browser. Example for entering the permanent IP address: https://169.254.1.240. Since the PBX forces an HTTPS connection, your browser will provide a safety warning (because of the missing safety certificate).
- If necessary, transmit the safety certificate to your working environment (user and browser profile).
- Click with wizard (recommended).
- Use the configuration wizard to carry out the system activation and configure the basic settings.
Telephoning
Outgoing Calls/Exchange Line Request
When dialling phone numbers, the exchange line request type configured for the subscriber must be noted. The PBX distinguishes three types of exchange line requests:
Automatic exchange line request (factory setting): Neither for the internal nor for the external number a prefix is required (exception: ** for targeted VoIP access). The PBX automatically distinguishes between internal and external numbers with the adjustment of the dialled phone number and the internal numbering plan:
- If the phone number is contained in the telephone numbering list, the PBX establishes an internal connection.
- If the phone number is not contained in the telephone numbering list the PBX establishes an external connection.
Internal telephone: The user has to dial an external number with preceding exchange line access number.
Direct exchange line telephone: For an external number no prefix is required. However, the user has to dial an internal number with preceding **.

Note: The behaviour of COMfortel 1400 IP/2600 IP/3200/3500/3600 IP telephones when numbers are being dialled depends on the set default account (see manual of the phone). For COMfortel 1400 IP/2600 IP/3600 IP telephones as of firmware version 2.4, the default account can be taken over from the PBX if the telephone is a system telephone and is thus set dependent on the type of exchange line request.

Note: To avoid conflicts between 3 or 4 digit phone numbers of the local area network and the internal numbering plan, phone numbers of the local area network should always be dialled with local area code.

Note: Also when the entered phone number correspond with the internal telephone numbering plan, the PBX waits up to 4 seconds for whether additional digits for an external number are being entered, before it dials the internal phone number. To avoid waiting time, you can subsequently enter #. The PBX therefore recognises the input as finished and instantly starts dialling.
Emergency Calls
The emergency numbers set up on the PBX are used for emergency calls. These calls are handled in a special way.

Note: One of the basic settings is the setting of the country where the PBX is located. By this setting the public emergency numbers of the selected country are automatically entered in the configuration.
Emergency calls can be made without dialling an exchange line access number that is necessary for other calls (factory setting). This has the benefit that even people who do not know how to use exchange line access numbers can make emergency calls.
If the emergency call priority switch is enabled (factory setting), emergency calls have priority over other calls. If necessary, a call can be interrupted to enable an emergency call to be made.
A system telephone can also be used to make emergency calls if the screen lock is switched on (optional, see telephone's instructions).
Installation

Warning: Power surges, which can occur during electrical storms, can cause life-threatening electric shocks and can damage or destroy the PBX.
- Do not touch the PBX or any devices connected to it during an electrical storm.
- Hire a qualified electrician to lay the cables within the building – including the cable to the door terminal.
- Do not use the a/b ports to connect remote extensions.

Warning: Touching voltage-carrying conductors or telephone connections can cause life-threatening electric shocks. The PBX contains hazardous voltages, even outside the power supply unit (for instance ringer voltages). Work on active, contact-hazardous parts is only permitted after creating a voltage-free state. Working close to active parts is only permitted if these parts are voltage-free or are protected against direct contact.
- Pull out the PBX's power plug before instructing a qualified electrician to open the casing, to install the expansion modules, or to switch or connect equipment. Also disconnect the device from additional power sources (e.g. UPS, if installed).
- Wait at least 3 minutes for the discharge of any capacitor in the device after disconnecting it from the main power supply.
Installation

Important: Improper use can cause, for example, functional restrictions or interference, the destruction of the device or, in a worst-case scenario, personal injury.
Only connect equipment that is compatible with the proper use of the PBX.

Installation Instructions
The PBX is intended to be operated in closed rooms. In addition, all of the devices connected to the system must be located inside the building.
The PBX enables you to connect some devices directly, inasmuch as they are close enough to the PBX. The distance depends on the length of the equipment connection cables up to a maximum of 10m .
If no suitable connection sockets are available or are too far away, you must lay the installation cable permanently. Use installation cable (e.g. J-Y(St)Y 2x2x0.6) with the following characteristics:
- Unscreened; however: screened for unfavourable conditions, for example, near a strong transmitter or an electrical power line
- only for ISDN: preferably star quad stranding
ISDN: When assigning the individual wires, orientate yourself with the identifiers subsequently listed or refer to VDE 0815 when identifiers deviate.
| Cable with Two Twin Wires | Cable with Star Quad | ||
| Physical circuit/pair 1 | a1 | red without ring | |
| b1 | black single rings, 17 mm spacing | ||
| Physical circuit/pair 2 | a2 | white double rings, 34 mm spacing | |
| b2 | yellow double rings, 17 mm spacing |
Analogue/ U_P0 : Prevent interferences. Avoid laying long lengths of parallel lines, especially next to the mains. Twist the pairs.
Accessories and service parts can be bought at specialised stores.
Network Provider at the External S_0 Port
Connection possibilities:
- NTBA
Digital GSM gateway - Router with internal S 0 port
VoIP/ISDN adapter
Requirements:
- Enabled operating mode "S 0 external" on the S_0 port in question
Terminators enabled at both ends of the connection - in the NTBA and in the PBX on the external S_0 port in question
operating mode S_0 external" terminators enabled



If the NTBA only has a slight distance to the PBX, make a direct connection via the RJ45 socket (cable in the scope of delivery).
If the NTBA has a greater distance to the PBX, then a cable must be laid fixed on the terminal clamps of the external S_0 port.

Network Provider at the External Analogue Port

Warning: Voltages that run through the connection socket of the network provider can cause life-threatening electric shocks.
- Do not connect the PBX until the casing on the connection socket of the network provider is closed again.
Connection possibilities:
- Public analogue telephone network across Europe
- Analogue GSM gateway
If the analogue connection has a greater distance to the PBX, a cable with a wall socket at the terminal clamps of the external analogue port must be laid fixed. Connect the devices with the RJ-11/RJ-11 connection cable included in the scope of delivery. Within Germany, you additionally require the RJ-11/TAE-F adapter.

RJ-11 wall socket
Internet and VoIP Terminals as well as PC at the Ethernet Port
Connection possibilities:
PC
- Internet (VoIP accounts with one or more VoIP phone numbers similar to the PMTP connection on ISDN and VoIP accounts with an extensions block similar to the PBX connection under ISDN, based on the SIP-DDI feature (also known as SIP trunking)
COMfortel 1400 IP/2600 IP/3600 IP system telephones
COMfortel 3200/3500 system telephones (firmware version 1.8E or later)
- IP DECT single- and multicell servers COMfortel WS-400 IP and COMfortel WS-650 IP for COMfortel M-100, COMfortel M-200/210 and COMfortel M-300/310 DECT handsets.
Installation
- Standard VoIP telephone (SIP), e. g. COMfortel 1200 IP
Softphones (SIP) - IP switch relays (e.g. NETIO 230B, WebRelay (identical to Keil), Energenie EG-PM2-Lan, Philips hue)
- IP door terminals (e.g. Telecom Behnke Serie 20 IP, Baudisch SIP door terminal Maxi, TCS FBI 6101, ELCOM LBM-300)
Requirements:
- For Internet access: Broadband Internet connection (e.g. DSL router, TV cable router)
- Existing network (LAN) or single switch (for VoIP terminals) with a data transmission rate of 100 Mbit/s

Note: For VoIP data communication in combination with the transmission of limited amounts of data, a data transmission rate in the LAN of 10 Mbps is sufficient under certain circumstances. For VoIP data communication in combination with the transmission of large amounts of data (e.g. downloads), we recommend upgrading to a data transmission rate of 100 Mbps. For this purpose, replace not only all of the active network components (e.g. switch and router), but also all of the passive network components (e.g. cables and wall sockets). For a reliable support of 100 Mbps, you need cables and wall sockets of at least Category 5 (CAT 5).

Note: When using a switch with PoE function, a separate power supply (e. g. via a power plug) is not required for connected VoIP telephones, always provided they support PoE.
- For the use of DiffServ for prioritising language packages: DiffServ support of all active network components available and enabled
- NAT traversal should be carried out either by the PBX or by a well-functioning SIP-aware router

Note: If the router is not SIP aware, several of the ports on the router necessary for VoIP data communication must be enabled (RTP port and SIP UDP ports) (port forwarding). A list of the ports used in the PBX can be found in the Configuration Manager of the PBX under Overviews > Ports.

Caution: Opening a port on the NAT router is a security risk.
- Take additional protection measures.

Important: If you want to integrate the PBX into an existing network, contact the responsible system administrator. Making changes to an existing network can cause considerable malfunctions.
