no hardware expenditure)

MobyDick Virtual Installation Guide
In order to install MobyDick on a Virtual Machine,
you will need VM software. We recommend either
VM Fusion or as in this example, the Open Source
software Oracle VirtualBox.
If you would like assistance with the VMware
Fusion setup and installation process please see
click on the video link.
If your are installing into a Hardware environment
then please skip this step and go to starting the
installation.

MobyDick School
Open your VM and select new which will open the
operating system description dialogue.
Give your system and name and change the OS
type to Linux and change the version to Debian
(either 64bit or 32bit depending on your
download).
You are now ready to proceed to the next step.

MobyDick School
In this step of the installation process you will be
able to change the amount of memory available. As
default most VMs are set to 512MB, which may
not be sufficient for your requirements.
For the community version we recommend a
minimum of 1GB for operational versions. For
testing purposes 512MB is sufficient.
Greater amounts may be necessary depending on
your requirements.

MobyDick School
Having confirmed the appropriate amount of
memory, you will now be promoted to setup a
Virtual Hard Disk.
Therefore, select “Create a Virtual hard drive
now”. Note that the recommended HD size is 8GB
(VirtualBox – 20GB with VM Fusion). Should this
not be sufficient you will have the ability to change
this at a later point.
Confirm this action by pressing the “Create”
button.

MobyDick School
You will now be promoted to choose your HD file
type. As we downloaded an ISO image file, you
need to select the first option VDI (VirtualBox
Disk Image).
With VirtualBox, you can simplify this process by
pressing “hide description” which will then change
the screen to a where you can adjust all the
options within one mask (avoiding 2 additional
screens) – this is also where you can adjust the
HD Volume capacity size.
Confirm all settings through the “create” button.

The setup for the VM is now complete and you
can begin with the installations process.
To do this select the VM we have just setup
(MobyDick) and click the Start button (green
arrow) or right click on the VM and select start.

MobyDick School
You will now need to select the ISO file image that
you downloaded from pascom.net.
To select the file, click on the folder icon and
navigate to where you saved your file (normally
downloads folder) and select the file.
Clicking on start will begin the MobyDick
installation process.

The partitioning and module loading process takes
about a minute and as soon as it is finished you
can start with the setting up the finer details of
your MobyDick Appliance.
The first thing to do is confirm your time zone.
By default MobyDick will show Berlin/Europe as its
time zone, but you can change this be selecting
no and going through the list as show opposite.

MobyDick School
You will now be promoted to enter a password for
your MobyDick appliance.
As per normal with passwords, you will be
prompted to re-enter your chosen password in
the next screen. Default user name is admin.
The password needs to be a minimum of 8
characters and note to the wise – check which
keyboard layout your VM uses, as this password
will also be set as your password into the web
user interface and if the layout is different to
your actual keyboard you may encounter problems
here. An example of this is with QWERTY vs
QWERTZ in Germany – caused me no end of
problems.

MobyDick School
This is one of the final steps of the MobyDick
installation process.
In order to access the Web UI you will need to
setup the network settings with which you wish
to operate MobyDick.
In general it is a good idea to use a static IP
address in order to access the MobyDick later
on. However, depending on your own network
infrastructure you may need to set up a DHCP
server – which you will have to do later anyway
when you want to start adding devices.

MobyDick School
If you have setup the network correctly and the
installation process has been completed you will
then be shown the screen opposite.
Providing the Interface mask is showing a green
UP as opposed to a red DOWN, then you have
now finished installing and setting up your Virtual
MobyDick and it is now time to configure your
MobyDick via the web UI, which will be reachable
under the IP address you setup using a browser
of your choice and the default username admin in
combination with the password you entered
during the earlier stages in the install process.
That’s it for now – happy VoIPing
