Looking for Security Groups permissions? They are here.

I. How to start aka basic Tempus config.

1. Activate the Administrator Account in the PBX.

Go to the clients PBX and create a Tempus admin extension. Enter the PBX and go to Extensions :

Afterwards we create a new Extension :

Usually we take the number 9999 and call it Mixvoip Admin or Tempus Admin:

Activate Tempus for the Admin you just created:

Click on the little icon next to 9999 highlighted in yellow.

In the upcoming menu on the right, you will see under Access control “Tempus” set it from disabled to active.

Afterwards set a password for the administrator and make sure to note it down.

2. Install Tempus for the client.

Go to the clients PBX and find out their Tempus address.

A Tempus address is always composed Username.mixvoip.org

Let us take FGFC as example, type in the PID of the client 113585 You will see the following:

What we need in their first is the USERNAME, so here we have fgfclux.

Go to your browser and type in fgfclux.mixvoip.org, and you will come to the desired address.

Login to the Tempus you wish to configure. The following message will be displayed:

Afterwards you will come to the entry menu :

Not much will be active yet, as everything must be configured. We will go through this step by step in the later chapters.

3. Give the Tempus Admin all the Permissions for Tempus.

To be able to configure everything, and later be useful as Support. The Tempus admin will need all the Permissions to act.

For that go to Configurations > Security Groups.

Afterwards go to the Default Admin (the first user who ever logged in by default) and click on Edit Security Group.

In the upcoming menu :

Go to “Permissions” and give the Default admin absolutely ALL Permissions over TEMPUS.

Important :

-Greyed out permissions are not yet activated to help you keep an overview. -Make sure not to activate Deny features for the admin!

Afterwards make sure that in Groups “All Users” is activated.

when you are done.

II. Configuration.

Before you start, make sure that the devs activated “Voxbi Tempus User” as active. If this is not done, you will only have a lite version of Tempus where you cannot do much.

1. What we need from clients.

To properly install any Tempus, we must start with basic information from our clients. Here is what you need to ask from them:

-Extensions on the PBX

-Email of the users should they not be in the PBX

Name / Surname -

-Entry date (start of contract)

-Work rate(100%, 50%, ...)

-Workshift (when do they work, what day, how many hours on what day, ... )

Extra Holidays if there are any to be applied -

2. Loaded Modules.

Modules are the basic options and what is displayed as options for the user. At the start there will not be much:

We must configure this now depending on the clients wishes, go to Configurations, and select Core Settings:

In the System settings menu, go to Loaded Modules, and select the ones you wish to have displayed and by default activated.

After that do not forget to hit the Save button on your right.

Afterwards you will see more options displayed both in the interface and the Configurations menu. Example:

3. Companies

The next step is to create a company. Usually, it is only one. But in some cases, clients can have multiple companies in one Tempus. The best Example is Mixvoip, as we have Mixvoip, Voipgate, Emios, etc...

To create a company, go to Configuration -> Companies

In the menu that opens, select

Fill in the Form of the company with the client's credentials. The default settings for the Country Code, Hours per week and Holiday hours per month are set to a standard Luxemburgish company.

They can be changed as needed.

Do not forget to check “Allow overtime” if you want any hours beyond the Hours per week to be recorded.

4. Users

Once you have created your company, it is time to add users to the company. This is crucial for all future operations concerning employees. For this use the information the client was supposed to provide you with (see point 1).

Note, we only implement users in the FIRST installation. Once the client has had their training, they are supposed to handle this themselves. Or must pass by support, and they will have to pay the invested time.

4.1. PBX

A user must be added to the PBX to become activated on Tempus.

4..1.1 If the user does not yet exist: Go to the client's PBX and then to Extensions.
