Once the installation is finished, it will say 'SangomaOS 7.8 is now successfully installed and ready to use! Go ahead and reboot to start using it!'. Click the 'Reboot' button and the machine will reboot to the FreePBX terminal. Remember to remove the DVD/image from the drive!

== First run of the web interface ==

# Open a browser on a machine on the same network and go to the IP address of the machine. For example, if the machine is at <code>192.168.1.45</code>, type <code>http://192.168.1.145</code> into the address bar. If you are not sure of the address, login to the server as root and it will display the IP address of the machine. This is the first time of using the web interface so we need to set up a few items.

# Type a username into the '''Username''' field. Avoid common usernames, such as admin and user as these are easily guessed if your server is attacked.

# Type a password into the '''Password''' and '''Confirm Password''' fields. Make sure this is strong, especially if you plan to make the admin pages web facing at latter date.

# Type an e-mail address into the '''Notifications Email address''' field. This is used if there are any critical errors on the server to inform you.

# You can change the '''System Identifier''' to something else if you like, this is especially handy if managing more than one FreePBX server.

# Choose your settings to enable automatic updates as you would like for your system.

# When done, click 'Setup System' in the bottom right hand corner.

# This will take you to the home page for the server. To administer the system, click 'FreePBX Administration' and log in with the details you typed just now.

# You will now be asked if you would like to activate the system with Sangoma. This is recommended to activate some of the modules we will be using later. Click 'Activate'.

# Type your e-mail address. If you already have an e-mail account with Sangoma, wait a few seconds and type your password when the box comes up. Fill in any missing details if needed then click 'Continue'. If you don't already have an account, you will have to fill in your details and click 'Create'.

# Under 'New Activation', type a location and then click 'Activate'. If you are reinstalling an already activated system, you can go to 'Existing Deployment' and type the deployment number already activated there.

# Once you have clicked 'Activate', it will then display a deployment number. This means it is successfully deployed. The deployment number can be displayed later if needed.

# Click 'Skip' on the module updates for now as we need to set up the server first.

# In the '''Sound Prompts Language''' drop down menu, select 'English (United Kingdom)'.

# Leave '''System Language''' as 'English (United States)' as there is no option for United Kingdom.

# The '''Timezone''' option should already be correct from our installation. If not, it can be corrected here to 'Europe/London'.

# Click 'Submit' in the bottom left hand corner. It will take a while as it is starting to setup the system - be patient!

# Unless you want to set up the firewall, click 'Abort'.

# You may get a few adverts after this - click 'Not Now' to skip them.

# Your system is now basically setup - you will be presented with the dashboard.

=== Updating FreePBX modules ===

# From the dashboard, on the menu bar, go to '''Admin > Module Admin'''.

# Click 'Check Online' to check the internet for updated modules.

# Once done, click 'Upgrade all' on the left-hand side to mark all modules for update.

# Click 'Process' to start updating the modules.

# You will be presented with a list of modules to be updated. Scroll to the bottom and click 'Confirm'

# Some updates take a very long time to complete, please be patient!

# Once the current updates are complete, press '' to be taken back to the Module Admin screen

# Some updates rely on other packages to be updated first. Keep cycling through these steps until there are no more packages to update.
