Viewing the dashboard
Dashboard > Status displays first after you log in to the web UI. It contains a dashboard with widgets that each indicate performance level or other statistics.
By default, widgets display the serial number and current system status of the FortiVoice unit, including uptime, system resource usage, license information, service status, firmware version, system time, and statistics history.
To view the dashboard, go to Dashboard > Status.
Hiding, showing and moving widget
The dashboard is customizable. You can select which widgets to display, where they are located on the tab, and whether they are minimized or maximized.
To move a widget, position your mouse cursor on the widget’s title bar, then click and drag the widget to its new location.
To show or hide a widget select Manage Widget and then select the widgets you want displayed on the Dashboard. If the widget is greyed out, the widget will not display. Select Apply when you have made your selections.
Options vary slightly from widget to widget, but always include options to close, refresh, or minimize/maximize the widget.
System Information widget
The System Information widget displays the serial number and basic system statuses such as the firmware version, system time, and up time.
In addition to displaying basic system information, the System Information widget lets you change the firmware. To change the firmware, click Update for Firmware version. For more information, see Installing firmware.
The number of phones that are auto discovered but have not been assigned extensions are also displayed. If this number is abnormally high, it may mean the FortiVoice unit is under MAC address flooding attack and its performance will be compromised. You can remove the phones.
To view the widget, go to Status > Dashboard. If the widget is not currently shown, click Add Content, and mark the check box for the widget.
License Information widget
The License Information widget displays the last queried license statuses for the number of extensions supported (if you use FortiVoice VM), hotel management, and call center (if you have purchased these options).
Depending on the license you have purchased, when you first access the FortiVoice web-based manager, you need to upload the license to enable the functions you need.
To upload the license file, first place the license file to your management computer, then click Update license and browse for the license file.
