Installation guide

Introduction

Recommended Configuration:

PortaUM:

• CPU:

basic configuration: Pentium4 2.8GHz

advanced configuration: Pentium4 3GHz

• SCSI integrated or add-on hardware RAID controller compatible

with FreeBSD 6.3

• RAM: 1GB

• Disks:

basic configuration: at least 50GB of the available disk space (RAID:

mirroring or RAID5)

advanced configuration: at least 80GB of the available disk space

(RAID: mirroring or RAID5)

• Network interface

• USB Port

• ATAPI or SCSI CD-ROM drive

Please check that the other hardware installed in your server (such as

network adapter, RAID controller, and so on) is supported by FreeBSD.

You can check this at the FreeBSD website:

http://www.freebsd.org.

During installation you will be prompted for the network configuration

parameters. Please make a decision regarding these before installation,

consulting your network administrator if necessary. It is possible that you

will have to perform installation while the network is not yet available

(from your office, for example, while the servers will be placed in a server

hosting center), but you will need to enter the correct data anyway. Please

have the following ready:

• IP addresses of the PortaBilling100 master and slave servers

• IP address of the PortaSIP server

• Name of the MX domain designated for the hostname of the

machine running PortaUM

• Subnet mask and address of the default gateway

• DNS server address

If you have a hardware RAID controller in your system, configure the

RAID – array. The recommended configurations (depending on the

amount of hard drives in the system) are as follows:

• 2 disks – RAID (mirroring)

• 3 disks – RAID 1 (mirroring) on the first two disks, third one left

as a hot spare
