Getting Started

More documentation is on its way. For the time being, here is a quick start guide referencing some of the m0n0wall documentation. AskoziaPBX is derived from m0n0wall and their documentation is quite verbose.

Writing the Image to Disk

AskoziaPBX is distributed as a compressed, digitally signed disk image. The first step in getting a system up and running is to flash its storage device (hdd or cf) with this image. Unix like systems can accomplish this task with dd. Windows users must download physdiskwrite

The decompressed image currently requires less than 17MB of storage. Any extra space will be ignored by AskoziaPBX. After attaching the target drive to your system, execute one of the following commands to decompress the image onto it.

Be absolutely sure of your target device! If these commands are executed referencing the incorrect device, all data on it will be lost.

The warning about "trailing garbage" can be safely ignored. This is due to the digital signature. The hard part of setup is now finished, all subsequent system upgrades will be done through the webGUI. (m0n0wall docs section)

Initial Configuration

After successfully getting the system to boot from this media, a network interface must be assigned for the webGUI. Select option '1' from the console menu to assign a network interface. A restart is needed to apply this configuration. (m0n0wall docs section)

The webGUI is at https://192.168.1.2 (/24 subnet) with a username of 'admin' and password of 'askozia'. Either configure a computer to run on this network and access it or set a new LAN IP in the console.

Diagnosing Problems

There are a couple of hidden pages in addition to those in the webGUI to aid in troubleshooting problems.

To toggle extended debugging info in the "Diagnostics -> Logs -> PBX" page, enter the following commands in the "Diagnostics -> Manager Interface" page:
