This page gives some general advice on using the web interface, and starting to set up your system after a new installation has been completed.

Starting to use the web interface

1. Enter the web server's IP address as the URL in your web browser to bring up the web interface.
2. When the system was installed you will have entered a username and password for the web interface, or the installer will have done this and provided the details to you. Enter the username and password in the fields provided.
3. Once you've logged in you'll see a menu vertically down the left side. Most menu items are categories which will be expanded when clicked on.
4. You can view your own user and add new users by clicking on Users and account » Users » Users.

Configuring the system

1. Click on Global » Settings » Configuration. Some items will be marked as "NEEDS TO BE SET ON NEW INSTALLATIONS". Set these now as follows:
• Asterisk version: Set to the version of Asterisk installed. If not sure, ask your installation engineer.
• System currency: As it says, this is the currency at the system level. Sub-customers can have different currencies. Use the alphabetic code, for example USD.
• System dial plan: Leave this for now. We'll talk about it later.
• Group for Hylafax: You should check what user group files in /var/spool/hylafax/doneq/ have. On most systems it's 60002.
• Feature codes reserved match: This is a regular expression which should match any numbers you don't want users to be able to accidentally "block" with a feature code, for example emergency service numbers.
• Sound for #: The sound to use when menus mention #; either "hash" or "pound".
• System time zone: The timezone set on your server(s). You can run the "date" command on a server and use the timezone from that.
2. Congratulations, you've started to set up your system.
