# 2. Create a test set-up in evalink talos

To test the environment of your new evalink talos account and try out talos API calls, we suggest that you, first of all, create a “test set-up” via the web interface with one or more devices, groups, and contacts.

You can use them to give different API methods a try. 

Navigate to “**Site Groups**” in the menu. Then, create a new Group with the name:

`Group`                   :     “My Site Group” 

Then, navigate to “**Sites**” in the menu. Then, create a new Site with the name:

`Site`       :     “My Site” 

you can assign the Site to your Site Group 'My Site Group'.

Then, navigate to Menu '**Company**' and click on the tab '**Global Contacts**'.

Click on '**Add contact**' and create a contact with the following name:

`Global Contact` :     “Peter Parker” 

Then, navigate to Menu '**Site Groups**' and click on the tab '**Group Contacts'**.

Click on **'Add contact**' and create a contact with the following name:

`Group Contact`   :     “Mary Jones”

Lastly, navigate to Menu '**Sites**', select your Site, an click on the tab ' **Contacts**'.

Click on '**Add contact**' and create a contact with the following name:

`Site Contact`     :     “Bob White” 

After creating these basic entities, you can proceed to further testing with the evalink talos API.
