Problem Details

Setting up various PBX for many customers using only one AP

System Requirements

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

Installation

Setup your first PBX with Application Platform as usual.

In my case I used:

PBX Name: hq

System Name: world.local

DNS PBX: hq.world.local

DNS App Platform: apps.world.local

Configuration

1. Now you install a second PBX. Every customer receives his own Master PBX.

Therefore choose either "Do manual configuration" or "Update and network settings only"

In my case I used:

PBX Name: stuttgart

System Name: europe.local

DNS PBX: stuttgart.europe.local

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

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

4. Go back to your main PBX (hq.world.local). Open Devices App. You see the MAC of your new device

5. Assign category to device

6. Set redirection from PBX Advanced GUI to myApps Therefore go to your new PBX. Afterwards if you insert your DNS you get redirected to myApps directly.

7. Activate PBX and create admin user for new PBX. 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.

Therefore use your new DNS. In my case stuttgart.europe.local

9. Connect App Platform.

Open PBX Manager

Add App Platform. Use Host of your AP Platform.

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

Verify received eMail and check that App Platform is connected.

10. Create two new App objects on your new PBX via Device/Advanced GUI.

1. Object

Devices:

Long Name: Devices

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

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

Create App Devices and DevicesApi

11. Create App instances inside App Platform for every client

12. Create Apps with PBX Manager inside Customer PBX

13. Create templates (Admin and User) with Visibility, Apps and Licenses.

14. Configure Device/PBX

You can open an App via your Apps App
