Connecting to the FortiVoice System
After physically installing the FortiVoice unit, you need to connect to its management tools to
configure, maintain, and administer the unit. You also need to inform your phone users on how
to access the user web portal and use the FortiVoice features.
This topic includes:
• Connecting to the web-based manager or CLI
• Setting up the system using the wizard
• Testing the setup
• Configuring setups for phone users
Connecting to the web-based manager or CLI
There are two methods to connect to the FortiVoice unit:
• use the web-based manager, a graphical user interface (GUI), from within a web browser
• use the command line interface (CLI), an interface similar to DOS or UNIX commands, from a
Secure Shell (SSH) or Telnet terminal
Access to the CLI and/or web-based manager is not yet configured if:
• you are connecting for the first time
• you have just reset the configuration to its default state
• you have just restored the firmware
In these cases, you must access either interface using the default settings.
After you connect, you can use the web-based manager or CLI to configure basic network
settings and access the CLI and/or web-based manager through your network. However, if you
want to update the firmware, you may want to do so before continuing. See “System
Information widget” on page 22.
This topic includes:
• Connecting to the web-based manager
• Connecting to the CLI
If the above conditions do not apply, access the web UI using the IP address, administrative
access protocol, administrator account and password already configured, instead of the
default settings.
Until the FortiVoice unit is configured with an IP address and connected to your network, you
may prefer to connect the FortiVoice unit directly to your management computer, or through a
switch, in a peer network that is isolated from your overall network. However, isolation is not
required.
