Once the system is installed we can start to administrate it from the Elastix console.
In the example, this machine has been assigned the IP 192.168.0.2 by our LANs DHCP Server. With this IP address we can access the Web Admin Interface of our Elastix from any web browser. It is very likely that your web browser will give you a security error; this is because the digital certificate for a secure connection must first be accepted. Once the digital certificate is accepted we are ready to log in to the Elastix web interface with the user name admin and the admin password entered during installation.
