Incredible PBX 2020 Appliance Setup Guide
-
Determine the IP address of the PBX. We recommend checking your DHCP server to find the IP or connect a Monitor and Mouse to your PBX ports and login as shown below. We setup all appliances to have DHCP enabled by default on LAN Port 1 (eth0) of your appliance.
-
SSH to the PBX. This can be done using any SSH program, such as Putty.The default root password is set to “password2020”. Be sure you log in with SSH from a desktop PC that will be used to manage your PBX. This IP address will automatically be whitelisted in the Linux firewall so that you aren’t locked out.
-
Once logged in, you will be asked to change the root password. Please change the password to something more secure..
-
Your server must have a reliable Internet connection before proceeding. If you have no Internet access or if you didn’t log in from a desktop PC, press Ctrl-C now. Otherwise, press ENTER key to proceed with initial setup. Server is VERY INSECURE until this initial setup has been completed.
-
At the prompt, enter the password you would like to use to access the GUI of the PBX and press Enter..
-
Confirm the password and press Enter.
-
Enter a secure password for web applications and press Enter.
-
Press Enter to reboot the system.
-
SSH to the PBX once rebooted to complete the setup.
-
We can now login to Web GUI using the IP address we found in step 1. Type the IP address of your FreePBX system into a web browser on the same network as your FreePBX system (e.g. http://192.168.1.1 replacing 192.168.1.1 with your IP address).
