Initial Configuration of PortaSwitch
TIP:
When the system has just been installed, use username
pb-root
and
password
pb-root
to login.
The following steps are normally performed only once, after the system is
installed.
Visit
My
Company
on the main menu. Enter information about your
company and set up a base currency. Naturally, this does not limit your
operations to this currency only. However, on cost / revenue reports and
the like different currencies will be converted to the one you specify here.
NOTE: Once you set up a base currency it cannot be changed. If you make a mistake,
you will have to start with a new PortaBilling® environment.
From the main menu, choose
Users
and create login entries for users
who will be working with the system. It is not recommended that the
default PortaBilling® root user (
pb-root
) be used for any operations
other than initial set-up. Make sure you are able to login as the newly-
created user and change the password for the pb-root user.
If you plan to do billing in multiple currencies, define them and specify
exchange rates in
Currencies
section
.
Create Destination
This step is only required if you have not defined the necessary
destination before. If not, you will need to create a symbolic
NETACCESS destination.
1.
In the

section of Admin-Index, choose
Destination
.
2.
Click on the Add button.

Fill in the required information. In the

column, enter
some useful information about the service being provided (e.g.
Internet
), since this is what your clients will see on their xDR History
pages.
