Step 1: Logging into MagnusBilling

Open your browser and go to your MagnusBilling URL. Use the default credentials on first login:

• Username: root

Step 2: Creating a New User

Create a user (client) to assign a plan and SIP:

1. Clients -> Users -> New

Use the default plan for now. You can create a custom rate plan later.

Testing the SIP Account

MagnusBilling generates a SIP account per user. Test with Zoiper (any SIP softphone works).

Enter:

Click Register.

If successful, SIP status shows OK.
