Hi,
I used this system at my business about 10 years ago. It doesn't take a winPC system to configure it; you can use any web browser as long as you know the systems IP address and the login. There's the rub, however, these systems were built to ensure they were "secure" so you'll need the login credetials (Linux backend).
Finding the IP address is a snap, plug it into the network and search for the MAC address and translate it in the ARP table.
The easiest way to see if it's working is plug it in and connect a couple phones to the network it's on. They will find the NBX via MAC so no need to worry about subnets (VLANS might be an exception). The phones will light up with an extention and you'll get a dial tone and you can dial between IP phones. In order to connect outside you'll need the admin password and then configure to access your connection to telco.
I actually used mine to connect my US aerospace HQ to our Eurpean sales office using the Internet as the WAN link. It was great back then, but today it might be good for just a small office using POTS. One of the great features of this system was it included everything (Music on hold/transfer, CTI, voicemail, white noise, etc.). The hardest part of deploying this was taking the stuff out of the box.
