Virtual Machines (HyperV, VMWare) or Physical Devices with SSD.


===Installation===
If you set up a Hosting scenario, please check our [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:V13_Hosting Considerations]


Setup your first PBX with Application Platform as usual.
==Setting up Application platform & administrative PBX ==


In my case I used:
'''Download respective images'''


''PBX Name: hq''
Select in the [https://store.innovaphone.com/release/download.htm innovaphone store]


''System Name: world.local''
* Firmware / IPVA
* App Platform / App Platform x86_64
* Download Package


''DNS PBX: hq.world.local''


''DNS App Platform: apps.world.local''
'''Setup administrative PBX & Application Platform'''  


===Configuration===
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!!!


1. Now you install a second PBX. Every customer receives his own Master PBX.
==Configuration of customer PBXs==


Therefore choose either "Do manual configuration" or "Update and network settings only"
Every customer will get his own PBX


In my case I used:


''PBX Name: stuttgart''
''' Add domain to devices'''


''System Name: europe.local''
Open devices in your admin PBX (adminpbx.cloud.com).  


''DNS PBX: stuttgart.europe.local''
Add Customer Domain (company01.com).


2. Log into your first PBX (hq.world.local) and open Devices.
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.
Add Customer Domain (stuttgart.europe.local).
Choose a password (will be used as admin password).


[[Image:AddDomain2.png|900px]]
[[Image:AddDomain.png]]


3. Connect to your new PBX (stuttgart.europe.local).
Insert Device Registration URL


[[Image:DeviceRegistration.png]]
'''Setup PBX'''


4. Go back to your main PBX (hq.world.local). Open Devices App.  
Setup another machine (e.g. IPVA) and choose "Do manual configuration" or "Update and network settings only"
You see the MAC of your new device
*Set pbx settings. We used the following options:
**System name: company01.com
**PBX name: pbx
**DNS PBX: pbx.company01.com
*Use as Domain
*Set PBX password
*Create config template "Config Admin". Add Apps to template.
*Create admin user and add template to user


[[Image:EditDeviceEntry.png]]


5. Assign category to device
'''Connect PBX to devices'''


[[Image:AddCategory.png|1000px]]
Insert Device Registration URL


6. Set redirection from PBX Advanced GUI to myApps
[[Image:DeviceRegistration.png]]
Therefore go to your new PBX.
Afterwards if you insert your DNS you get redirected to myApps directly.  


[[Image:ConfigChangeHTTP0.png]]


[[Image:ConfigWrite2.png]]
'''Edit device settings'''


[[Image:ConfigActivate.png]]
Open devices on your adminpbx.
The MAC address of your new device is shown.
Choose Name and Domain.


7. Activate PBX and create admin user for new PBX.
[[Image:EditDeviceEntry.png]]
Therefore open Devices App and create a new User via Advanced GUI.


8. Assign Apps to User (inside Userobject) 


8. Log into myApps. Please use HTTPS.
'''Create new category and assign it to device'''


Therefore use your new DNS. In my case stuttgart.europe.local
[[Image:AddCategory.png]]


9. Connect App Platform.
[[Image:AssignCategory.png]]


Open PBX Manager


Add App Platform. Use Host of your AP Platform.
'''Change main page to myApps'''


[[Image:PBXManager-AP.png|1500px]]
Till now, inserting the DNS of PBX shows Advanced GUI.
To change this insert the following commands:
*!config change HTTP0 /home PBX0/APPCLIENT/appclient.htm
*!config write
*!config activate


Now you can see in your Apps App that the Domain is registered:  
[[Image:ConfigChangeHTTP0.png]]


[[Image:RegisteredAccessDomain.png]]


''' Connect new PBX to Application Platform'''


Verify received eMail and check that App Platform is connected.
Login to your new PBX, using HTTPS! (e.g. pbx.company01.com)
Open PBX Manager
Connect App Platform


10. Create two new App objects on your new PBX via Device/Advanced GUI.
Use Host of your AP Platform.  


[[Image:ConnectAP.png]]


1. Object
[[Image:ConnectAP2.png]]


Devices:
Now you can see in your Apps App that the Domain is registered:  


Long Name: Devices
[[Image:RegisteredAccessDomain.png]]
 
name: devices
 
Critical activated
 
Hide from LDAP activated
 
 
Example URL: https://apps.world.local/world.local/devices/innovaphone-devices
 
Websocket activated
 
 
2.Object
 
 
Devices:
 
Long Name: DevicesApi
 
name: devices-api
 
Critical activated
 
Hide from LDAP activated
 
 
Example URL: https://apps.world.local/world.local/devices/innovaphone-devices-api
 
Websocket activated
 
 
 
11. Create new instance of needed App
Example: contacts
 
[[Image:ContactsInstance.png]]
 
Start instance
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
'''This is wrong:
'''
 
 
 
10. Create Devices instance and connect Devices and Devices API to instance
 
 
Create a second Device Instance
 
Start second Device Instance
 
[[Image:CreateSecondDeviceInstance.png|1800px]]
 
[[Image:CreateSecondDeviceInstance2.png]]
 
Create App Devices and DevicesApi
 
[[Image:DevicesAndDevicesApi.png]]


Verify received eMail and check that App Platform is connected.




'''Create Devices & Devices Api Object'''


*Create both App objects on your new customer pbx (you can use Devices App from your adminPBX to use the AdvancedGUI).
**First Object "Devices"''
***Long Name: Devices
***Name: devices
***Critical activated
***Hide from LDAP activated
***Example URL: https://apps.cloud.com/cloud.com/devices/innovaphone-devices
***Websocket activated
***Password has to be the same as you choosed when "adding your Domain to Devices"


11. Create App instances inside App Platform for every client
**Second Object "Devices Api**
***Long Name: DevicesApi
***Name: devices-api
***Critical activated
***Hide from LDAP activated
***Example URL: https://apps.cloud.com/cloud.com/devices/innovaphone-devices-api
***Websocket activated
***Password has to be the same as you choosed when "adding your Domain to Devices"


12. Create Apps with PBX Manager inside Customer PBX
[[Image:CreateApps.png]]


13. Create templates (Admin and User) with Visibility, Apps and Licenses.  
Both apps have to be connected.


14. Configure Device/PBX


You can open an App via your Apps App
''' Open devices on your new PBX'''
