AsteriskNow, how to create a SIP account

We will show you how to login to AsteriskNow and create a dialplan. This guide shows you how to create 1 dial plan and 1 user with an extension on the AsteriskNow PBX. The created extension can be used by Ozeki to register to the PBX. It is assumed that you have already installed AsteriskNow onto your Linux server.

Configure AsteriskNow

As a first step, you need to configure a user to make phone calls via AsteriskNow.

I have already installed AsteriskNow PBX onto my Linux server and its IP address is: 192.168.91.151. Open a browser and navigate to its web interface. The example URL will be the following:

http://192.168.91.151:8088/static/config/index.html

Once you are at the login page, login as administrator (Figure 1).
