Installation via SERVERware

Estimated reading: 6 minutes

Introduction

SERVERware is the virtualization platform developed by Bicom Systems, designed to provide an optimized and highly available infrastructure for communication solutions. It enables the rapid deployment of IP PBXs, communication servers, and other essential services with centralized management and built-in redundancy.

If you use SERVERware, installing PBXware in this environment follows a process similar to a standard installation, with a few steps at startup. This guide will walk you step by step through the installation and configuration of PBXware on SERVERware to ensure an efficient and functional deployment.

1. In the VPS tab, click the Create VPS button.

2. Fill in the options requested by the creation wizard, such as the name, template (version), hardware resources, and network.

3. Once the PBXware virtual machine with SERVERware is created, access the IP address in your browser and you will land on the setup wizard. Here, configure your system.

4. Now follow this guide to deploy your PBXware PBX.

Installation wizard

Once the OS installation is complete, go to a web browser at the IP address of your PBXware instance to start the deployment.

The installation wizard is designed to collect the essential data needed to make the system operational. Once the installation wizard is complete, the system should be fully licensed, fully operational, and ready to use.

If you have decided to install PBXware on a platform other than SERVERware, the default password to access the installation wizard is pbxware.

EULA

The EULA (End User License Agreement) is the first step of the installation wizard. Please read the EULA and type "I agree" to continue.

Administrator details

Provide the details of the user who will administer the system. These values are used when logging in to PBXware.
  • Email/Confirm the Email

The provided email address is used as the username to log in.

  • Password/Confirm password

The provided password is used to log in

Server details

  • Root password

PBXware requests this password when connecting to the system/SSH and when accessing system services through the web interface.

  • Confirm the password

Retype the root password entered in the field above.

  • Time zone

Select the time zone in which PBXware is located.

License

The license part allows you to enter a valid (non-active) license. If the system has more than one network card, all found MAC addresses will be displayed.

  • License type

Select a license type for the system. The system comes with two license types: Free License and Requested (paid).

  • License number

Enter the PBXware license number, select the MAC address if there are several, and click 'Next' to save.

  • The MAC address associated with PBXware.

NOTE: The machine must have access to an Internet connection in order to retrieve the license. If more than one MAC address is present, select the one you want to associate with PBXware and click 'Next'.

Locality

Locality allows you to enter the system's "local" values in order to define all the values needed for the system's normal operation.

  • Country

Select the country in which PBXware is located.

  • Prefix

The dialing code where PBXware is located; for example, if PBXware is located in France, you will need to set '33'.

  • Extension length

The number of digits that PBXware will match to local extensions.

If this field is set to ‘3’, all local extensions will have a range of 100-999.

If this field is set to ‘4’, all local extensions will have a range of 1000-9999...

  • Police / Fire / Ambulance

The phone number of the emergency services in the region where PBXware is located (e.g. Police: 17, Fire: 18, Ambulance: 15)

PBXware has an option to call these emergency services through certain trunks. If all channels are busy, an active call will be interrupted in order to dial these emergency numbers.

Music on hold

The system comes with a default "silence" sound file for music on hold. It can also be replaced with a royalty-free music file.
  • Royalty Free music on hold

This operation downloads royalty-free music that can be used as the default music on hold. It can be changed later.

Confirmation

Finally, the confirmation step allows you to recheck all the values and finish the wizard or start over from the beginning. If you click "Confirm and finalize“, the configuration wizard ends and the browser is redirected to the system's login screen.

If you click this button, all the details provided will be reset and you will return to the first step.

Click this button to confirm the data provided in the installation wizard and finalize the installation. All the details provided will be applied and the installation wizard will redirect you to the PBXware login screen.

System login

  • Login screen

In order to connect to the system, please point your browser to: http://IP_ADDRESS/ (For example: http://192.168.1.2/)

This is the administrator's email address that you set in the initial setup wizard.
