PhoneMaster 6 Install Guide

The following procedure describes how to install PhoneMaster 6.

Before you begin:

Note: The PBX serial TTY port requires only USER: SCH (Service Change), and MTC (Maintenance). All others (BUG, ERR, TRF, CTY etc.) should be removed, as they may cause problems with PhoneMaster (ELAN connection: CPSID1100 for SCH and MTC, see below).

Installing:

  1. Run SETUP.EXE from the PM6 directory on the CD, or from the downloaded files package.
    This will install PhoneMaster in a directory of your choice, the default is C:\PhoneMaster6.

  2. Run PhoneMaster6.exe, either from the Start Menu, or from the directory chosen above.
    The default username is admin and the password is 0000.

  3. A message-box appears indicating that no sites currently exist. Click OK to close, and the Site window will open.
    Enter a name for the new site in the Name textbox on the top of the Site window.

  4. Click on the Keycode tab and enter the site specific 16-digit hexadecimal keycode in the 4 keycode textboxes.
