- Remove the power and Ethernet cables from the Px unit.

- If a device other than the site’s Allworx server is being used as the network’s DHCP server, the Px must either have its Boot Server IP Address set manually or it must get the information from the DHCP server.
- Navigate to the Boot Server IP Address field. Enter the IP address of the Allworx Server on which the Px will be installed.
- Scroll down to the new password field, and create a new password, if it is empty.
