Requirements

• Virtual machine or hardware compliant with VoipNow requirements

• Certificate for the hostname or wildcard for the domain signed by a public CA

#1 Install the SSL certificate

The certificate must be installed in /etc/voipnow/certs directory.

...

#2 Change your default admin password

For security reasons, it's best to change your default password if you haven't done it until now. 

...

/usr/local/voipnow/bin/chadminpass.sh

#3 Follow the wizard instructions

1. Log in the VoipNow interface using your username and recently changed password. You will be redirected to the Terms of Service page.
2. Make sure to agree with the Master Service Agreement. Otherwise you won't be able to continue the Wizard tour. 
3. You will be prompted to the VoipNow Start Up Wizard page.
   
4. If you haven't changed your admin password in STEP #2, you can do it in the Start Up Wizard page. If you already changed your admin password, this section will no longer be displayed. 
5. In the Quick Configuration section, the Ask for this wizard on next login also is enabled by default. Make sure to deselect it so that you can start the configuration process.
6. Select the Configure charging plans and Create Demo channel to 4PSA Demo system options. To make the configuration process easier for you, we have already created a default charging plan and a demo channel that will allow you to test Hubgets.
7. Press Next to continue the configuration process.

#4 Enter your admin contact details 

Fill in the required fields of the Admin Contact Information page and pay special attention to the email address for your admin account. This address cannot be the same as the one you're going to use for your account. 

#5 Set your codecs right 

Go to System → Unified Communications → Zero Priority → General and make the following changes:

3. Go to the In the  'From email' field appears field and write "Hubgets" instead of the default "4PSA VoipNow". 
4. Press OK when you're done.

#6 Set your SIP preferences

Go to System →  Unified Communications → Zero Priority → SIP and make the following changes:

1. Under Global SIP Preferences, you need to set the Extension number length to 4 (to avoid overlapping emergency numbers like 911, 112, etc.) and set the User agent as Hubgets.
2. Scroll down to Advanced SIP Server Preferences, fill in your domain and port in the Accept SIP requests to domain:port field. 
3. Press OK when you're done.

#7 Create an Extension template 

In order to be able to invite users on Hubgets, you need to create a Subscription template. Your Subscription will use a specific Extension template and a customized charging plan.

Your Hubgets Webphone template will be added to the system and you will find it in the Extension Templates table. 

#8 Customize your charging plan 

Since in the Wizard tour you opted for a default charging plan, you will find it already added to the system. 

...

Your Hubgets Charging Plan will be added to the system and you'll find it in the Charging Plans table.  

#9 Create a Subscription template

Now that you have created an Extension template and you have a customized charging plan in place, you can create a Subscription template.

4. Press OK when you're done. The Service Provider's email templates will be updated with your latest changes.
