Please proceed pressing "[Next]" until Finish

After reboot you can find the OutCall software running on your system tray.

Let's move to the MiRTA PBX web interface to create an AMI user for allowing OutCall connection to the PBX.

In the Settings page locate the Manager Users button and proceed to the configuration page

Adding one or more users. One user is enough.

Now get back to OutCall and start configuring it accessing the Settings page.

In the Dialing rules section, General subsection, set the Outgoing context to "authenticated"

When a call comes in, a popup will show you the callerID.
