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
