BEAM Click-to-Dial Setup Guide Natural Convergence (Vaspian) Click-to-Dial Configuration From the BEAM navigation bar click on General Settings. Then click on the Click-to-Dial tab from the Organization Settings menu: Out-Dial Prefix: This is the number collection agents must dial to get an outside line and dial tone. Since BEAM hands the system a 10-digit national number, you want to include the "1" as shown above. So 81 would be correct as opposed to just 8. For example, when clicking the Call button for telephone number (716) 555-1234, BEAM dials 8-1-716-555-1234, just like you would if you were manually dialing that telephone number. Login URL: This should be the URL of the Vaspian web portal: https://xtone.buf.vaspian.net/webadmin/login/. If you go to www.vaspian.com and click on Manage My Account you should be redirected to this URL. Tenant: This is your customer name in Vaspian s system and is known by the Vaspian web portal. The Tenant will typically be your customer name with the first letter in each word of the company name capitalized.
Note: your Tenant name is case sensitive. i.e.) CompanyName You can obtain this at any time from the Vaspian support department. It is referenced by the term "Login URL" in our systems. Note: You must have the PIN filled out in the User Settings. BEAM uses the PIN to automatically log into Vaspian for the collection agent. Without the PIN users will get errors. When a new Vaspian user is created a corresponding Vaspian PIN is created for them. New users are prompted to change their PIN when they log into the phone for the first time. Test here for proper login using the ext. and PIN. If a PIN reset is needed, please call Vaspian support @ (716) 961-2120 or email support@vaspian.com.

always hands the system a 10-digit national number then you would want to include the "1" as shown in the example here. So "81" would be correct as opposed to just "8". Hostname: This is the hostname or IP address of your Asterisk server. BEAM will attempt to connect to the Asterisk Management Interface (AMI) on this machine to initiate Click-to-Dial requests. Your Asterisk-based Providers must allow dc1.beamorgs.net and dc2.beamorgs.net as the originating IP address for connections from BEAM to your hosted VoIP phone system.

Navigate to your Asterisk File Editor, this will only be available to administrators. In Elastix, this can be found under PBX -> Tools -> Asterisk File Editor. We will be editing a manager.conf file, usually manager_additional.conf is a good place to add this entry. Add an entry for the Click-to-Dial AMI manager: [c2d] secret = c2d deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 permit=192.168.8.0/255.255.255.0 read = originate write = originate The user name is in brackets. In the above example the user name is [c2d] and the password comes after the word secret, so the password in this case is c2d. You will need to change the permit entry to match your network IP range and subnet. This is important because you must permit all network addresses that BEAM Click-to-Dial will be called from like your collection agent workstations or any VPN networks. Save the file when you are done making changes and reload the Asterisk manager configuration. 5 P a g e
