===Installation===
* Firmware / IPVA

Setup your first PBX with Application Platform as usual.


In my case I used:
'''Setup administrative PBX & Application Platform'''


''PBX Name: hq''
Setup as learned in our courses.
*Master PBX to start a new system with external App Platform
*Network settings
*Connect AP platform
*App Platform is being installed
*innovaphone PBX options. We used the following options:
**Domain name: cloud.com
**PBX Name: adminpbx
**DNS PBX: adminpbx.cloud.com
**DNS AP: apps.cloud.com
*Save passwords
*E-mail account
*Apps are installed
*PBX and AP Certificates
*Test mode
*Done!!!


''System Name: world.local''
==Configuration of customer PBXs==


''DNS PBX: hq.world.local''
Every customer will get his own PBX


''DNS App Platform: apps.world.local''


===Configuration===
''' Add domain to devices'''


1. Now you install a second PBX. Every customer receives his own Master PBX.
Open devices in your admin PBX (adminpbx.cloud.com).  


Therefore choose either "Do manual configuration" or "Update and network settings only"
Add Customer Domain (company01.com).


In my case I used:
Choose a password. This password will be used for devices. If you select "Deploy the domain password on all devices" than it will be used as admin password as well.


''PBX Name: stuttgart''
[[Image:AddDomain.png]]


''System Name: europe.local''


''DNS PBX: stuttgart.europe.local''
'''Setup PBX'''


2. Log into your first PBX (hq.world.local) and open Devices.
Setup another machine (e.g. IPVA) and choose "Do manual configuration" or "Update and network settings only"
Add Customer Domain (stuttgart.europe.local).
*Set pbx settings. We used the following options:
Choose a password (will be used as admin password).
**System name: company01.com
**PBX name: pbx
**DNS PBX: pbx.company01.com
*Use as Domain
*Set PBX password
