## Aloittaminen

When starting Ekiga for the first time the configuration assistant will show automatically. The Configuration Assistant is a step-by-step questionnaire that will guide you through all the steps involved in creating the basic configuration you will need to operate Ekiga. You should go through all of these steps properly, otherwise the assistant will re-appear (when it has not been completed) or Ekiga will not function appropriately (if some of your answers were not correct). You may run the Configuration Assistant at any time from the Edit menu.

Ekiga can be used with several Internet Telephony Service Providers. Those providers will allow calling real phones from your computer using Ekiga at interesting rates. We recommend you use the default Ekiga provider.

If you want to create an account and use it to call your friends and family using regular phones at interesting rates, simply create an account using the "Get an Ekiga Call Out account" link. Once the account has been created, you will receive a login and a password by e-mail. Simply enter them in the dialog, and you are ready to call regular phones using Ekiga

With the default setup, you can simply use sip:3210444555 and choose sip.diamondcard.us to call the real phone number +3210444555, 32 is the country code, 10444555 is the number to call. We encourage you to put your favorite phone numbers in the address book.

Just follow the link given in the dialog to get an account if you do not have one, then fill in your username and password. Please press 'Forward' after entering all required information to continue.

### Yhteystyyppi

Ekiga supports several audio and video codecs. It includes codecs with excellent quality as well as codecs with medium to good quality. The higher the quality of a codec, the more bandwidth it requires. Moreover, video codecs can adapt their quality to the available bandwidth. This option is necessary in the initial configuration of Ekiga so that it chooses the optimal codec suited to your network connection and so that it adjusts the video quality settings. If your connection type is not mentioned in the list you should select the one closest to your network connection and adjust Ekiga manually with the preferences window (codecs section) later on.

When done, continue on with the Configuration.

### Äänilaitteet

Ekiga requires audio devices to play and record sound. The audio output device ouputs the incoming sound stream during a call. Please select the device that your headset or speakers are connected to. The audio input device is what your microphone is connected to. These settings might be the same as the settings for the audio player if you have only one soundcard. But please note that it is also possible to record sound via another device (e.g. internal microphone in a webcam) too. This section also allows you to choose the ringing device. This device can be different from the audio output device. It allows you to hear the incoming call ringing sound event in your speakers, while having your headset connected for calls.

When done, continue on with the Configuration.

### Videolaitteet

Kuva 8.

This step is optional and concerns users with video devices (e.g. webcams) only. If you do not have any video devices you may skip this page.

If you have a webcam or video device in the list you may select it here.

When done, continue on with the Configuration.

### Asennus päättynyt

The configuration of Ekiga is now completed. The last window only shows a short configuration summary of the settings you have chosen. Please verify that all these settings are correct. If something is incorrect you may use the 'Back' button in the lower right hand corner of the window to move to any page of the assistant and correct the mistake.

If everything is correct please press the 'Apply' button to save the configuration. The assistant will be closed and the main Window of Ekiga will now appear. Remember, all settings can be changed via the preferences window at anytime.
