The FreePBX phone system has a User Control Panel where you can control various settings for your extension such as:
- Change your PIN
- Contact Manager
- Find Me/Follow Me
- Call Forwarding
- Call Waiting
- Do Not Disturb
On FreePBX 12 and newer systems, your username and password are maintained separately and you should receive an e-mail message with your login details.
Please change your password by clicking on the 'Gear' icon in the lower left after logging in the first time.
Access the UCP
On upgraded systems, users may not automatically have permission to access the UCP. Modify the All Users group to include all desired users, or edit each individual user and set your preference on the UCP tab.
The UCP is generally only accessible from your LAN (local area network). In other words, the UCP is only available from inside your firewall. If external access is needed, the firewall can be adjusted.
https://pbx.yourdomain.tld/ucp
or by your PBX IP address
https://192.168.1.30/ucp
You must use HTTPS protocol to access the UCP or you will see a bold red error message in the UCP web interface.
FollowMe
FollowMe is an effective method to route incoming calls to your mobile (or other) number if you are not at your desk.
External numbers should be added to the FollowMe List in the following format:
1NXXNXXXXXX#
which is 1 + area code + number + #.
