How do I install and configure my B-box 3 modem – edpnet

This article will guide you through installing the modem and configuring internet and VoIP services.

Note: Only B-box 3v+ (the most recent model of B-box 3) supports VoIP. The prior model of the device does not support VoIP: it doesn’t have any Phone ports, nor is VoIP configuration available via its web interface.

Connecting and powering on your modem

Connect power supply to the modem.
Connect the modem to the network:

If you have a DSL subscription

Connect the DSL cable to to the DSL port (blue) of the modem and to your telephone socket (TF2007)

If you have a Fiber subscription

Insert the network cable into the WAN port (red) of the modem and into the LAN port of your Fiber NT on which the line was activated.

By default, the service is delivered on the port 1-1 of the Fiber NT, though, if there was already a fiber connection active in your living unit, we will activate the line on the next port, 1-2. You can find the correct port number on the order confirmation.

Connecting a computer to the modem

Connect one side of the network cable to the LAN port of your computer and the other side to one of the LAN ports (yellow) of the b-box.

Connect your computer (tablet / smartphone) to the b-box's Wi-Fi network using the "Wireless key" printed on the sticker.

Configuration

1. Connecting to modem interface

Start a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, ...). Enter the default interface address http://192.168.1.1 as the website address.

Advice: If the modem's interface is not reachable, check if mobile internet / hotspot is active on your device. To be able to connect to the interface below, the mobile data (4g) must be disabled.

B-box 3 is protected by default. Select User and introduce the password (case sensitive) printed on a sticker ("User password"). Click on Log in.

2. Setting up your internet connection

In order to configure the PPP connection you should take the following steps:

Select Network Connectivity and click on under the sub menu Internet.

You will see the following unfolding menu.

The modem is by default in bridge mode. You have not only to type your username and password, but also Enable PPP (select ON (Enable) in the menu below).

Click OK once it’s done.

You will be redirected to the main menu. If you click back on Network connectivity you will see that the modem is connected. You can also see an IP address that you have received:

3. Setting up your edpnet telephony

In the main menu select Telephony or click on :

First of all, you should select ON (Enabled) on top.

After that, enter the complete configuration for your VoIP telephone number:

Domain: sip.edpnet.be
Telephone no: your phone number
Username: your phone number
Password: the password provided by edpnet
Transport: UDP
Port: 5060

Note: If you are using a newer version of B-box 3, you may also be asked to fill in Outbound Proxy Server and Outbound Proxy Port. Enter sip.edpnet.be and 5060, respectively.

Click on OK at the bottom right.

Once it’s done you will be redirected to the main menu. If you click back on Telephony, you will see that the line status is now UP.

Please pay attention that you cannot merge the ports (so you cannot have one number that come out on both Telephone ports). It’s only possible to configure one number per port.
