Master

  1. After clicking the [Master] button in the window shown above, a window will appear where you can specify a Master Password.

    The server computer containing the master will use Bonjour technology to announce its presence on the local network. When you start a client for the first time, it will use Bonjour to display a list of available nearby servers (servers in the same subnet). After you select a server, a login window will appear. This will contain a [New User] button that you can use to create a new user account in the master database. When you do this, you will be asked to enter the Master Password before you can create the user account.

    In this step, you should specify the Master Password. The process of creating a user account from a client computer is described in more detail on the Client page.

    Choose and enter a Master Password, and click [Next].

  2. A second window will appear, asking for your company name:

    Enter your company name or an abbreviation. In some areas of Hansa BusinessPhone, only the first ten characters will be used. Then, click the [Next] button.

  3. The 'User Details: New' window will be opened. Here you can enter your personal details, to create a user account for yourself (or for any person that will use Hansa Business Phone: it does not need to be the person that will usually use the application on the server computer). You must enter your Signature (initials) and Name before you can progress to the next step, but the other information is optional.

    Signature
    Enter your initials. You will use these initials and a Password to log in to Hansa BusinessPhone each time you start the application. You can enter up to ten characters.

    Name
    Enter your name.

    Phone 1
    Enter your mobile phone number including international prefix preceded by + not 00 (e.g. +44 for the UK, +372 for Estonia). This will be used as the originating phone number if you send SMS text messages from Hansa BusinessPhone (the SMS text message feature has not yet been implemented).

    Phone 2
    If necessary, enter a second mobile phone number, again including international prefix preceded by + not 00.

    Email Address
    Enter your email address. This will be used as the originating email address if you send emails from Hansa BusinessPhone.

    Specification, Comment
    Use these fields to record any comments about yourself.
    When you have completed the 'User Details: New' window, click the [Activate User] button at the bottom of the window.

  4. The 'User Details: Inspect' window appears, confirming your details. If anything is wrong, correct it and click the [Save] button at the top of the winow:

  5. Click the [Open Login Window] button and enter your Signature when the login window appears:

    Click [OK].

  6. You will be asked if you want Hansa BusinessPhone to remember your Signature and Password, so that you do not have to enter them yourself each time you log in.

    Bearing in mind that the Password is a security feature, it is recommended that you only click the [Yes] button if you are absolutely sure no-one other than yourself will have access to your computer. Whichever option you choose, you will be able to change it later if necessary.

  7. The next step is to specify your Password.

    Choose your Password and enter it in the New Password and Retype New Password fields. Then, click the [Save] button at the top of the 'Change Password' window.

    The main 'Hansa BusinessPhone' window will appear:
