Welcome to the party. Download the Managers Manual for Vicidial from EFLO.net (free download, but I highly advise the paid version if you will soon have PAYCHECKS dependent upon this device ... and before you ask, no I am not part of the group that gets this money, i'm just a consultant
. I often get paid by people who didn't bother paying for the manual but have no issue giving me $ for the same information one piece at a time. LOL).
Begin the tutorial for setting the system up to make outbound calls with a logged in agent. Begin at the START of the tutorial and don't skip anything. I would even suggest that you go ahead and set up a SIP Trunk for testing purposes (many will allow a free account with 100 minutes for testing) so you can verify the operation of your dialer without regard for the hardware trunks installed.
Then learn to use the command line interface in asterisk so you can watch calls execute and observe any error messages. Makes troubleshooting SIGNIFICANTLY easier.

Oh! AND:
when you post, please post your entire configuration including (but not limited to) your installation method and vicidial version with build.
this IS a requirement for posting along with reading the stickies (at the top of each forum) and the manager's manual (available on EFLO.net, both free and paid versions)
You should also post: Asterisk version, telephony hardware (model number is helpful here), cluster information if you have one, and whether any other software is installed in the box. If your installation method is "from scratch" you must post your operating system and should also post the .iso version from which you installed your original operating system.
