Login with a username of 3. admin and your system password.
You will see a screen similar to that shown on the right. You

about the current status of the system.
Information such as current calls and
registrations is available through this
command group.
xConguration
These commands allow you to add and
edit single items of data such as IP
address and zones.

These commands allow you to add and
congure items and obtain information.
xHistory
