To define an administration password which allows to end the calls, it is necessary to change the value of the field Administration password. To allow other LDAP users to use the call manager it's possible to control the permissions at Access Management option.

In the configuration page you have the link to the call manager which may be acceded from the LAN. It might be necessary to define the alias call manager in the DNS server of the network.

If it is not possible to visualize all the extensions, lines and servers of the call manager, it is necessary to move the mouse to the right side of the page and the remaining ones shall be visible. In this version of Call Manager we can do some operations when the administrator password is inserted:

• Call transfer: Drag and drop the active phone to another;
• Call termination: Double click in a phone;
• Call generation: Drag and drop one phone to another;

In the screen appear all the telephones, routes, interfaces, etc., which shall be registered in IPBrick. However, there are differences, if the telephone has a visible IP address, it means that it is active, otherwise it will be deactivated. If the telephone is represented in red, it means that a call is in progress and its duration is indicated.
