Next steps after running the installation wizard

After you have run the installation wizard, all further configuration should be done using the Pexip Infinity Administrator interface.

Accessing the Pexip Infinity Administrator interface

The Pexip Infinity Administrator interface is hosted on the Management Node. To access this:

1. Open a web browser and type in the IP address or DNS name that you assigned to the Management Node using the installation wizard (you may need to wait a minute or so after installation is complete before you can access the Administrator interface).
2. Until you have uploaded appropriate TLS certificates to the Management Node, your browser may present you with a warning that the website's security certificate is not trusted. You should proceed, but upload appropriate TLS certificates to the Management Node (and Conferencing Nodes, when they have been created) as soon as possible.

   The Pexip Infinity Conferencing Platform login page will appear.

3. Log in using the web administration username and password you set using the installation wizard.

You are now ready to begin configuring the Pexip Infinity service and deploying Conferencing Nodes.

As a first step, we strongly recommend that you configure at least 2 additional NTP servers or NTP server pools to ensure that log entries from all nodes are properly synchronized. For details, see Enabling NTP on the Management Node.

Before you can begin to use the Pexip Infinity service, you must:

• configure the Pexip Infinity platform
• integrate the Pexip Infinity platform with your call control system

Brief details of how to perform these steps are given below.

Configuring the Pexip Infinity platform

From the Pexip Infinity Administrator interface, you must:

Task	Notes
Add details of a VM manager (applies to VMware environments only) (System configuration > VM Managers)	This is the address of the application to use when automatically deploying your Conferencing Nodes. It is your vCenter Server, or if you are not using vCenter, it is vSphere on the ESXi host. See Using a VM manager for more information.
Add licenses (Platform configuration > Licenses)	You must install a system license and sufficient concurrent port licenses before you can place calls to Pexip Infinity Virtual Meeting Rooms. See Pexip Infinity license installation and usage for more information.
Add a system location (Platform configuration > Locations)	These are labels that allow you to group together Conferencing Nodes that are in the same datacenter. See About system locations for more information..
Deploy Conferencing Nodes (Platform configuration > Conferencing Nodes)	These handle the call signaling and media and get their Virtual Meeting Room settings from the Management Node. See Deploying new Conferencing Nodes for more information.
Upload TLS certificates (Platform configuration > TLS certificates)	You must install TLS certificates on the Management Node and each Conferencing Node. TLS certificates are used by these systems to verify their identity to clients connecting to them. See Managing TLS certificates for more information.
Add Virtual Meeting Rooms and/or Virtual Auditoriums (Service configuration > Virtual Meeting Rooms) (Service configuration > Virtual Auditoriums)	Conferences take place in Virtual Meeting Rooms and Virtual Auditoriums. Configuration includes any PINs required to access the conference. See Configuring Virtual Meeting Rooms and Configuring Virtual Auditoriums for more information.
Add one or more aliases for each Virtual Meeting Room and Virtual Auditorium (done while adding the Virtual Meeting Room or Virtual Auditorium)	A Virtual Meeting Room or Virtual Auditorium can have more than one alias. Conference participants can access a Virtual Meeting Room or Virtual Auditorium by dialing any one of its aliases directly. See About aliases for more information.
