If you scan this page you might think that it’s a lot to set up, but it’s actually not. We have tried to break it down into simple steps. It shouldn’t take long to do, but of course we are always happy to help if you run into trouble or don’t understand something.

Port Forwarding has been set up to forward communications on port 8089 (the default port for PhonePad Web) to the Server IP Address of the PhonePad Web Server (which is also the IP Address for the PhonePad Server). If you don’t already have the IP Address of your PhonePad Server then you can get it from the main screen of Control Center.

Step 2: Set Up Port Forwarding on Your Router For the PhonePad Web application to work, you need to forward requests to your PhonePad Web Server. To do this, you will need to set up port forwarding on your router. As every router brand has their own user interface, it’s not possible to include instructions for every router available on the market. In many cases the Port Forwarding feature will be listed under the Firewall options. Here is an example:

Step 3 - Create a PhonePad Web Account Now that all of that is set up, we need to create a PhonePad Web account so that you can connect over the Internet. 1. Select the System Admin tab in PhonePad. 2. Click on the PhonePad Web Access button on the toolbar (shown below). Or select PhonePad Web Access from the System Admin menu.

3. Click the button next to the Access Code field to create an Access Code (this is like a password that users will use to login). 4. Enter an email address in the Email field. This would normally be the email address that you use to login to your My PhonePad account.

5. Click the Create Account button. You should now have a PhonePad Web account.

The are copy buttons next to the two yellow fields that will copy the Account Number and Access Code to the Windows clipboard. Users will need both of these details to login. Step 4 - Test to Make Sure You Can Login. Everything is now setup. Let’s make sure you can login. 1. Open a browser on your smartphone. 2. Go to this web address: www.phonepadcloud.com. 3. You should see this screen:

4. Enter your Account Number. 5. Enter your Access Code. 6. You might want to check the Remember Me checkbox so you don’t have to enter this in each time. You can also check the Auto Login checkbox to login you in automatically each time. 7. Some browsers enable you to add web apps to your Home Screen. This can save a lot of time.

8. Click the Connect button to connect to your PhonePad Web Server. 9. The next thing you should see is the PhonePad Web login screen. 10. Login as you normally would when you login to PhonePad.

Notifications There’s one thing left to do. Set up notifications so that you can get notified whenever you receive a new message. Each user will need to do this. To do this, you will need the Pushover app on your smartphone. If you don’t already have it, head over to Pushover.net and create a free account. The Pushover app costs just USD4.99 (one-time cost). You get up to 10,000 free messages per month. Once you have created your account you will have a Pushover email address. Make a note of it. In PhonePad: 1. Select the Settings tab. 2. Click on the PhonePad Web Settings button on the toolbar (as shown below).

3. Enter your Pushover email address and check the Send me notifications checkbox.

4. That’s it, you’re all done and ready to go.
