CounterPath Bria for Linux Administrator Guide - Manual (Page 5)

1 Overview
This manual is intended for:
• “Retail” users. You are a retail user if you are working in a non-office environment and you are your own
system administrator.
• System administrators who have purchased Bria 3 for Linux from the CounterPath website and are
deploying it for use by the staff in an enterprise. The staff are considered “enterprise users”. The
administrator should be familiar with PBX solutions, telephony and VoIP telephony.
You can deploy Bria by manually configuring via the softphone GUI, or using a provisioning server. If you are
planning to implement provisioning, you must also read:
• “Bria 3 Provisioning Guide - Retail Edition”
For more information on the documents you should read, go to http://www.counterpath.com/bria.html, click
