Find the IP of your beroNet Gateway

First you need to find out the IP address of your gateway. If you already know the IP address you can skip this step.

To find any beroNet Gateways in your network, you can use bfdetect to figure out the Gateways IP address.
A static network configuration of both devices is highly recommended.

If you connect to the Gateways IP address, you are able to configure a static IP address under Preferences → Network Settings

Add a Gateway in 3CX

Back in the 3CX web interface, on the left navigation bar

  • Click on SIP Trunks → + Add gateway 

A pop-up will open where you are able to configure several things.


  • Brand: BeroNet
  • model/device: Choose your kind of gateway

Select model/device

You can use BRI for the following references: BFSB1S0, BFSB2S0, BFSB2HY, and BF400Box with BRI or hybrid modules;
You can use FXO for the following references: BFSB4XO, BF4004FXObox and for GSM Gateways
You can use PRI for the following references: BF400box, BF1600box or BF6400box with 1 or 2 PRI

  • the Number of physical PSTN Ports you will be using
  • Main Trunk No: Your Main Number

Configure the SIP connection

After you created the Gateway, you will be redirected to the configuration page in the 3CX. Here you have to enter a few important information to connect your Gateway via SIP.

  • Registrar/Server/Gateway Hostname or IP: You need to enter here the IP address of your beroNet Gateway

  • Number of SIM Calls: the number of simultaneous calls you can do via the gateway

    2 for 1 BRI port
    1 for 1 FXO port
    30 for 1 PRI port. 

In the Authentication part, we leave the information as they are but copy them for later
  • Authentication ID is what we call "user" in the beroNet web interface
  • Authentication Password is what we call "secret" in the beroNet web interface

Reminder

Do not use the 3 way Authentication

Configure the beroNet Gateway with the Wizard

Once the configuration on the 3CX part is done, click on "Generate device config" on the top.


The interface of the given beroNet gateway will open and you need to enter your credentials if you're not already logged in. (Default is: admin:admin)
Alternatively you can visit: http://<ip of your gateway>/app/berogui/index.php?m=RebootReset&pbx=3CX
