VOIP LAB DAY 2: Creating the Virtual Machine 1


If you already noticed... I am not a creative person when it comes to creating blogs and different posts.. I just want to post information that are useful to you.. I am putting DAY1, DAY2 a the beginning of each post so you can roughly follow those instructions, but the order does not beed to be followed strictly.

So the first step of setting up the lab would be to download Virtual Box.  You can download it from

https://www.virtualbox.org/.

Few important notes.. You will need ISO image for Windows Server 2012 and Incredible PBX.. You need to select appropriate OS type when you first create your virtual machine. For Incredible PBX, you will need to select Linux Debian 64 bit (if your PC is 64 bit). For Windows Server you need to select Windows Server 2012.

You will also need to select Bridged Network for your network option. This is very important because you need your Windows Servers and PBX talking to each other in the same network. You will be able to assign static IP for all your VMs and they will behave just like another PC in your home network. When you assign the static IPs, you need to assign the subnet mask and default gateway of your home network. Those VMs eventually start eating up lots of your memories. You could spread out your VMs across different PCs. As long as you select Bridged Network, they should all be able to talk to each other. This setting can be changed before or after you install the VM. 



Incredible PBX will ask you to set the root password during the install, so please write down the password somewhere you can find later..
