Edgemarc LAN setup
The Edgewater Edgemarc 4500 we provide is specially designed to direct traffic for a pluarlity of VOIP devices within your network. However, in order to do so, it must receive a public IP from your network. Please see the following in regards to configuring a public IP for your network.
Furthermore, please ensure the VOIP phones are receiving an IP from the Edgemarc either by have them connected directly to the Edgemarc or by connecting an unmanaged switch to a port on the Edgemarc.
--- Likely the network resembles the following, though it may not be an exact match.

Note that the VOIP phones are connected directly to the Edgemarc so as to receive an IP from it via a switch. An unmanaged switch is recommended and may be required if the number of connections necessary exceeds the 4 ports available on the Edgemarc.
Your currently existing Firewall or wireless router can connect to the Edgemarc directly or via a switch
NOTE:please do not connect the IP phones to your firewall as this will prevent them from working correctly.
Given this requirement other firewalls such as a wifi router will need to connected to a port on the Edgemarc. It may be necessary to adjust the Edgemarc's LAN IP for best results within your network.
To do so log into the Edgemarc; the default IP is http://192.168.1.1
The username and password needed to log into the Edgewater will be supplied by Phone Power. Please contact support if you do not have the username and password needed to log into the device.
