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
You need to create the same destination as the name of HOTSPOT
server you specified in step 7 above (Configure HOTSPOT server.) when
you set up your network components; in this case it will be WiFi.
