1.1
Who Should Read This Guide
This guide is to be read by people who will be installing and maintaining the Allworx
®
server. The technical
background of the administrator is assumed to be greater than that of the system’s end users. This is not an
end user document. The reader is expected to have a sufficient computer networking and basic telephony
background.
1.2 What this Guide Is and What It Is Not
The Allworx server web administration interface is designed to be easy to navigate and use. It has built in
descriptions, help, and tips on many of its pages. This manual is not a duplication of that information, but is to
be used in concert with that. This manual is intended to describe only those features or administration
mechanics that are more complex and difficult to understand. Therefore, not all the features or all the
parameters of each feature are discussed here. Again, this guide discusses only those features and
parameters that require additional explanation beyond what is on the web pages.
This manual is not a tutorial on basic computer networking or telephone systems. Other sources may need to
be consulted to supply that information.

configuration. The three servers in the Allworx family differ in features and capabilities. This guide explains
these differences. The table below depicts which Allworx server offers which capabilities:
