== Applies To ==&lt;br /&gt;
This information applies to&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud from version 13r1 and higher&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud STANDARD and PREMIUM&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following table reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

== FAQs ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with average requirements (typically between 5 and 100, max. 250 ports, up to approx. 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, availavillity, recovery time, e.g. for contact center scenarios, or similar).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?====&lt;br /&gt;
* in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
* As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?====&lt;br /&gt;
This service is available in German and English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Where (geographically) is the service being produced?====&lt;br /&gt;
Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is Let&#039;s Encrypt supported in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In the myApps Cloud we work with &#039;purchased&#039; *.innovaphone.com certificates - therefore Let&#039;s Encrypt is not necessary there. In addition, no Let&#039;s Encrypt App should be started on the myApps Cloud instances. This would change the default values for the cloud and cause massive registration problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be an exception with &#039;&#039;&#039;15r1&#039;&#039;&#039; in the scope of the &#039;&#039;&#039;federation&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This will require the Let&#039; Encrypt app on the app platform (&#039;&#039;more details soon in a separate wiki article&#039;&#039;). &lt;br /&gt;
* However, it is already known that special entries will be required on the reverse proxy. &lt;br /&gt;
* In this case, please open a ticket with the cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?====&lt;br /&gt;
Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps platform services#Video capture|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps platform services#Application sharing|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements - especially when using the PREMIUM plattform. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations on the STANDARD plattform, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].Further, just verify:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done with registration via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider Deutsche Telekom has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address. Therefore this product is not suitable for hosting scenarios and consequently it is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Since the beginning of 2022, the Deutsche Telekom has discontinued this product. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?====&lt;br /&gt;
The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?====&lt;br /&gt;
myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the STANDARD plattform, the 24x7 infrastructure support is optional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Cancellation ====&lt;br /&gt;
The cancelation process of a cloud instance is straight forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the event that a Cloud Instance (without specially agreed binding periods) is to be cancelled, please &lt;br /&gt;
** remove an eventually existing Auto-iSC agreement, &lt;br /&gt;
** remove all active licenses in the Devices App and &lt;br /&gt;
** notify the cloud team (by email to cloud@innovaphone.com) to initiate the removal of the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you need to cancel a Cloud Instance with a specific commitment period, please &lt;br /&gt;
** contact your Inside Sales representative to understand the specific terms.&lt;br /&gt;
Please note:&lt;br /&gt;
* An eventually remain balance of iSC will not be refunded.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Auto-iSC agreement can be cancelled by the partner at any time, unless it is blocked by specially agreed binding periods. In the latter case, it is important to cancel the special agreement first. In this case, please contact your Inside Sales representative as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
After innovaphone received an order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [[Howto:V13 MyApps Cloud - Installation|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
* It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== As a partner, can I restart my App-Platform VM by myself after a shutdown? ====&lt;br /&gt;
No - cloud VMs must always be restarted by the innovaphone cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If this becomes necessary outside our business hours (9 a.m. - 5 p.m.) or at the weekend (Sat + Sun)&lt;br /&gt;
** AND you have agreed appropriate SLAs with your end-customers&lt;br /&gt;
** you can order the innovaphone infrastructure service (24x7) optionally in our STANDARD Cloud product.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Simply add the licence under Devices &amp;gt; Rental &amp;gt; Configure licences &amp;gt; Cloud Infrastructure License - Start &lt;br /&gt;
*** The Cloud team will then contact you via a ticket regarding the modalities&lt;br /&gt;
* In the PREMIUM Cloud product, the innovaphone infrastructure service is already included by default .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
* High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039; Operational-Datacenters&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&lt;br /&gt;
* System backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&lt;br /&gt;
* The expected Recovery-time is depending on the used product version:&lt;br /&gt;
** In case if STANDARD, a Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours is expected.&lt;br /&gt;
** For PREMIUM, with a fully automated recovery, we are expecting a recovery within seconds. &lt;br /&gt;
** General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
* you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
* it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform. Please keep in mind, that this App is not a file server. File size should be limited to the available storage.&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How to communicate in case of an incident? ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the event of a service disruption or incident, we will keep you informed through the following channels:&lt;br /&gt;
* Status page: Provides information on which service or cloud segment is affected (check [https://status.innovaphone.com/ here]).&lt;br /&gt;
* Community Connect: Shares regular updates on troubleshooting progress and resolution status (check [https://community.innovaphone.com/ here]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;
** innovaphone is taking great care for the privacy of your data. Details please find on our website [http://www.innovaphone.com/en/privacy.html here]. Further, please check [http://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#k part K] of our general terms and conditions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Directive (EU) 2018/1972&#039;&#039;&#039;: Adopted by the European Union in December 2018 to set-up a European Electronic Communications Code (EECC). Details, please check [http://www.europeansources.info/record/directive-eu-2018-1972-establishing-the-european-electronic-communications-code/ here]&lt;br /&gt;
** No phone lines or SIP Trunks are part of the myApps Cloud service. Thus, each innovaphone partner is obliged to verify jointly with the selected SIP provider, if this regulation fully applies.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following table reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

== FAQs ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with average requirements (typically between 5 and 100, max. 250 ports, up to approx. 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, availavillity, recovery time, e.g. for contact center scenarios, or similar).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?====&lt;br /&gt;
* in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
* As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?====&lt;br /&gt;
This service is available in German and English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Where (geographically) is the service being produced?====&lt;br /&gt;
Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is Let&#039;s Encrypt supported in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In the myApps Cloud we work with &#039;purchased&#039; *.innovaphone.com certificates - therefore Let&#039;s Encrypt is not necessary there. In addition, no Let&#039;s Encrypt App should be started on the myApps Cloud instances. This would change the default values for the cloud and cause massive registration problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be an exception with &#039;&#039;&#039;15r1&#039;&#039;&#039; in the scope of the &#039;&#039;&#039;federation&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This will require the Let&#039; Encrypt app on the app platform (&#039;&#039;more details soon in a separate wiki article&#039;&#039;). &lt;br /&gt;
* However, it is already known that special entries will be required on the reverse proxy. &lt;br /&gt;
* In this case, please open a ticket with the cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?====&lt;br /&gt;
Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps platform services#Video capture|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps platform services#Application sharing|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements - especially when using the PREMIUM plattform. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations on the STANDARD plattform, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].Further, just verify:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done with registration via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider Deutsche Telekom has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address. Therefore this product is not suitable for hosting scenarios and consequently it is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Since the beginning of 2022, the Deutsche Telekom has discontinued this product. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?====&lt;br /&gt;
The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?====&lt;br /&gt;
myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the STANDARD plattform, the 24x7 infrastructure support is optional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Cancellation ====&lt;br /&gt;
The cancelation process of a cloud instance is straight forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the event that a Cloud Instance (without specially agreed binding periods) is to be cancelled, please &lt;br /&gt;
** remove an eventually existing Auto-iSC agreement, &lt;br /&gt;
** remove all active licenses in the Devices App and &lt;br /&gt;
** notify the cloud team (by email to cloud@innovaphone.com) to initiate the removal of the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you need to cancel a Cloud Instance with a specific commitment period, please &lt;br /&gt;
** contact your Inside Sales representative to understand the specific terms.&lt;br /&gt;
Please note:&lt;br /&gt;
* An eventually remain balance of iSC will not be refunded.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Auto-iSC agreement can be cancelled by the partner at any time, unless it is blocked by specially agreed binding periods. In the latter case, it is important to cancel the special agreement first. In this case, please contact your Inside Sales representative as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
After innovaphone received an order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [[Howto:V13 MyApps Cloud - Installation|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
* It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== As a partner, can I restart my App-Platform VM by myself after a shutdown? ====&lt;br /&gt;
No - cloud VMs must always be restarted by the innovaphone cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If this becomes necessary outside our business hours (9 a.m. - 5 p.m.) or at the weekend (Sat + Sun)&lt;br /&gt;
** AND you have agreed appropriate SLAs with your end-customers&lt;br /&gt;
** you can order the innovaphone infrastructure service (24x7) optionally in our STANDARD Cloud product.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Simply add the licence under Devices &amp;gt; Rental &amp;gt; Configure licences &amp;gt; Cloud Infrastructure License - Start &lt;br /&gt;
*** The Cloud team will then contact you via a ticket regarding the modalities&lt;br /&gt;
* In the PREMIUM Cloud product, the innovaphone infrastructure service is already included by default .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
* High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039; Operational-Datacenters&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&lt;br /&gt;
* System backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&lt;br /&gt;
* The expected Recovery-time is depending on the used product version:&lt;br /&gt;
** In case if STANDARD, a Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours is expected.&lt;br /&gt;
** For PREMIUM, with a fully automated recovery, we are expecting a recovery within seconds. &lt;br /&gt;
** General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
* you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
* it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform. Please keep in mind, that this App is not a file server. File size should be limited to the available storage.&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== What happens in case of an incident? ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the event of a service disruption or incident, we will keep you informed through the following channels:&lt;br /&gt;
* Status page: Provides information on which service or cloud segment is affected (check [https://status.innovaphone.com/ here]).&lt;br /&gt;
* Community Connect: Shares regular updates on troubleshooting progress and resolution status (check [https://community.innovaphone.com/ here]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;

== FAQs ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with average requirements (typically between 5 and 100, max. 250 ports, up to approx. 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, availavillity, recovery time, e.g. for contact center scenarios, or similar).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?====&lt;br /&gt;
* in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
* As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?====&lt;br /&gt;
This service is available in German and English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Where (geographically) is the service being produced?====&lt;br /&gt;
Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is Let&#039;s Encrypt supported in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In the myApps Cloud we work with &#039;purchased&#039; *.innovaphone.com certificates - therefore Let&#039;s Encrypt is not necessary there. In addition, no Let&#039;s Encrypt App should be started on the myApps Cloud instances. This would change the default values for the cloud and cause massive registration problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be an exception with &#039;&#039;&#039;15r1&#039;&#039;&#039; in the scope of the &#039;&#039;&#039;federation&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This will require the Let&#039; Encrypt app on the app platform (&#039;&#039;more details soon in a separate wiki article&#039;&#039;). &lt;br /&gt;
* However, it is already known that special entries will be required on the reverse proxy. &lt;br /&gt;
* In this case, please open a ticket with the cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?====&lt;br /&gt;
Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps platform services#Video capture|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps platform services#Application sharing|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements - especially when using the PREMIUM plattform. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations on the STANDARD plattform, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].Further, just verify:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done with registration via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider Deutsche Telekom has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address. Therefore this product is not suitable for hosting scenarios and consequently it is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Since the beginning of 2022, the Deutsche Telekom has discontinued this product. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?====&lt;br /&gt;
The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?====&lt;br /&gt;
myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the STANDARD plattform, the 24x7 infrastructure support is optional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Cancellation ====&lt;br /&gt;
The cancelation process of a cloud instance is straight forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the event that a Cloud Instance (without specially agreed binding periods) is to be cancelled, please &lt;br /&gt;
** remove an eventually existing Auto-iSC agreement, &lt;br /&gt;
** remove all active licenses in the Devices App and &lt;br /&gt;
** notify the cloud team (by email to cloud@innovaphone.com) to initiate the removal of the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you need to cancel a Cloud Instance with a specific commitment period, please &lt;br /&gt;
** contact your Inside Sales representative to understand the specific terms.&lt;br /&gt;
Please note:&lt;br /&gt;
* An eventually remain balance of iSC will not be refunded.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Auto-iSC agreement can be cancelled by the partner at any time, unless it is blocked by specially agreed binding periods. In the latter case, it is important to cancel the special agreement first. In this case, please contact your Inside Sales representative as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
After innovaphone received an order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [[Howto:V13 MyApps Cloud - Installation|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
* It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== As a partner, can I restart my App-Platform VM by myself after a shutdown? ====&lt;br /&gt;
No - cloud VMs must always be restarted by the innovaphone cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If this becomes necessary outside our business hours (9 a.m. - 5 p.m.) or at the weekend (Sat + Sun)&lt;br /&gt;
** AND you have agreed appropriate SLAs with your end-customers&lt;br /&gt;
** you can order the innovaphone infrastructure service (24x7) optionally in our STANDARD Cloud product.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Simply add the licence under Devices &amp;gt; Rental &amp;gt; Configure licences &amp;gt; Cloud Infrastructure License - Start &lt;br /&gt;
*** The Cloud team will then contact you via a ticket regarding the modalities&lt;br /&gt;
* In the PREMIUM Cloud product, the innovaphone infrastructure service is already included by default .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
* High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039; Operational-Datacenters&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&lt;br /&gt;
* System backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&lt;br /&gt;
* The expected Recovery-time is depending on the used product version:&lt;br /&gt;
** In case if STANDARD, a Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours is expected.&lt;br /&gt;
** For PREMIUM, with a fully automated recovery, we are expecting a recovery within seconds. &lt;br /&gt;
** General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
* you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
* it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform. Please keep in mind, that this App is not a file server. File size should be limited to the available storage.&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== What happens in case of an incident? ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the event of a service disruption or incident, we will keep you informed through the following channels:&lt;br /&gt;
* Status page: Provides information on which service or cloud segment is affected.&lt;br /&gt;
* Community Connect: Shares regular updates on troubleshooting progress and resolution status.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following table reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

== FAQs ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with average requirements (typically between 5 and 100, max. 250 ports, up to approx. 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, availavillity, recovery time, e.g. for contact center scenarios, or similar).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?====&lt;br /&gt;
* in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
* As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?====&lt;br /&gt;
This service is available in German and English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Where (geographically) is the service being produced?====&lt;br /&gt;
Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is Let&#039;s Encrypt supported in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In the myApps Cloud we work with &#039;purchased&#039; *.innovaphone.com certificates - therefore Let&#039;s Encrypt is not necessary there. In addition, no Let&#039;s Encrypt App should be started on the myApps Cloud instances. This would change the default values for the cloud and cause massive registration problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be an exception with &#039;&#039;&#039;15r1&#039;&#039;&#039; in the scope of the &#039;&#039;&#039;federation&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This will require the Let&#039; Encrypt app on the app platform (&#039;&#039;more details soon in a separate wiki article&#039;&#039;). &lt;br /&gt;
* However, it is already known that special entries will be required on the reverse proxy. &lt;br /&gt;
* In this case, please open a ticket with the cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?====&lt;br /&gt;
Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps platform services#Video capture|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps platform services#Application sharing|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements - especially when using the PREMIUM plattform. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations on the STANDARD plattform, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].Further, just verify:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done with registration via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider Deutsche Telekom has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address. Therefore this product is not suitable for hosting scenarios and consequently it is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Since the beginning of 2022, the Deutsche Telekom has discontinued this product. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?====&lt;br /&gt;
The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?====&lt;br /&gt;
myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the STANDARD plattform, the 24x7 infrastructure support is optional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Cancellation ====&lt;br /&gt;
The cancelation process of a cloud instance is straight forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the event that a Cloud Instance (without specially agreed binding periods) is to be cancelled, please &lt;br /&gt;
** remove an eventually existing Auto-iSC agreement, &lt;br /&gt;
** remove all active licenses in the Devices App and &lt;br /&gt;
** notify the cloud team (by email to cloud@innovaphone.com) to initiate the removal of the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you need to cancel a Cloud Instance with a specific commitment period, please &lt;br /&gt;
** contact your Inside Sales representative to understand the specific terms.&lt;br /&gt;
Please note:&lt;br /&gt;
* An eventually remain balance of iSC will not be refunded.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Auto-iSC agreement can be cancelled by the partner at any time, unless it is blocked by specially agreed binding periods. In the latter case, it is important to cancel the special agreement first. In this case, please contact your Inside Sales representative as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
After innovaphone received an order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [[Howto:V13 MyApps Cloud - Installation|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [[Reference15r1:Concept myApps|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
* It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== As a partner, can I restart my App-Platform VM by myself after a shutdown? ====&lt;br /&gt;
No - cloud VMs must always be restarted by the innovaphone cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If this becomes necessary outside our business hours (9 a.m. - 5 p.m.) or at the weekend (Sat + Sun)&lt;br /&gt;
** AND you have agreed appropriate SLAs with your end-customers&lt;br /&gt;
** you can order the innovaphone infrastructure service (24x7) optionally in our STANDARD Cloud product.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Simply add the licence under Devices &amp;gt; Rental &amp;gt; Configure licences &amp;gt; Cloud Infrastructure License - Start &lt;br /&gt;
*** The Cloud team will then contact you via a ticket regarding the modalities&lt;br /&gt;
* In the PREMIUM Cloud product, the innovaphone infrastructure service is already included by default .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
* High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039; Operational-Datacenters&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&lt;br /&gt;
* System backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&lt;br /&gt;
* The expected Recovery-time is depending on the used product version:&lt;br /&gt;
** In case if STANDARD, a Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours is expected.&lt;br /&gt;
** For PREMIUM, with a fully automated recovery, we are expecting a recovery within seconds. &lt;br /&gt;
** General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
* you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
* it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform. Please keep in mind, that this App is not a file server. File size should be limited to the available storage.&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;
** innovaphone is taking great care for the privacy of your data. Details please find on our website [http://www.innovaphone.com/en/privacy.html here]. Further, please check [http://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#k part K] of our general terms and conditions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Directive (EU) 2018/1972&#039;&#039;&#039;: Adopted by the European Union in December 2018 to set-up a European Electronic Communications Code (EECC). Details, please check [http://www.europeansources.info/record/directive-eu-2018-1972-establishing-the-european-electronic-communications-code/ here]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following table reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

== FAQs ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with average requirements (typically between 5 and 100, max. 250 ports, up to approx. 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, availavillity, recovery time, e.g. for contact center scenarios, or similar).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?====&lt;br /&gt;
* in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
* As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?====&lt;br /&gt;
This service is available in German and English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Where (geographically) is the service being produced?====&lt;br /&gt;
Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is Let&#039;s Encrypt supported in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In the myApps Cloud we work with &#039;purchased&#039; *.innovaphone.com certificates - therefore Let&#039;s Encrypt is not necessary there. In addition, no Let&#039;s Encrypt App should be started on the myApps Cloud instances. This would change the default values for the cloud and cause massive registration problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be an exception with &#039;&#039;&#039;15r1&#039;&#039;&#039; in the scope of the &#039;&#039;&#039;federation&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This will require the Let&#039; Encrypt app on the app platform (&#039;&#039;more details soon in a separate wiki article&#039;&#039;). &lt;br /&gt;
* However, it is already known that special entries will be required on the reverse proxy. &lt;br /&gt;
* In this case, please open a ticket with the cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?====&lt;br /&gt;
Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements - especially when using the PREMIUM plattform. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations on the STANDARD plattform, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].Further, just verify:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done with registration via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider Deutsche Telekom has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address. Therefore this product is not suitable for hosting scenarios and consequently it is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Since the beginning of 2022, the Deutsche Telekom has discontinued this product. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?====&lt;br /&gt;
The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?====&lt;br /&gt;
myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the STANDARD plattform, the 24x7 infrastructure support is optional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Cancellation ====&lt;br /&gt;
The cancelation process of a cloud instance is straight forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the event that a Cloud Instance (without specially agreed binding periods) is to be cancelled, please &lt;br /&gt;
** remove an eventually existing Auto-iSC agreement, &lt;br /&gt;
** remove all active licenses in the Devices App and &lt;br /&gt;
** notify the cloud team (by email) to initiate the removal of the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you need to cancel a Cloud Instance with a specific commitment period, please &lt;br /&gt;
** contact your Inside Sales representative to understand the specific terms.&lt;br /&gt;
Please note:&lt;br /&gt;
* An eventually remain balance of iSC will not be refunded.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Auto-iSC agreement can be cancelled by the partner at any time, unless it is blocked by specially agreed binding periods. In the latter case, it is important to cancel the special agreement first. In this case, please contact your Inside Sales representative as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
After innovaphone received an order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
* It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== As a partner, can I restart my App-Platform VM by myself after a shutdown? ====&lt;br /&gt;
No - cloud VMs must always be restarted by the innovaphone cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If this becomes necessary outside our business hours (9 a.m. - 5 p.m.) or at the weekend (Sat + Sun)&lt;br /&gt;
** AND you have agreed appropriate SLAs with your end-customers&lt;br /&gt;
** you can order the innovaphone infrastructure service (24x7) optionally in our STANDARD Cloud product.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Simply add the licence under Devices &amp;gt; Rental &amp;gt; Configure licences &amp;gt; Cloud Infrastructure License - Start &lt;br /&gt;
*** The Cloud team will then contact you via a ticket regarding the modalities&lt;br /&gt;
* In the PREMIUM Cloud product, the innovaphone infrastructure service is already included by default .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
* High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039; Operational-Datacenters&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&lt;br /&gt;
* System backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&lt;br /&gt;
* The expected Recovery-time is depending on the used product version:&lt;br /&gt;
** In case if STANDARD, a Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours is expected.&lt;br /&gt;
** For PREMIUM, with a fully automated recovery, we are expecting a recovery within seconds. &lt;br /&gt;
** General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
* you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
* it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform. Please keep in mind, that this App is not a file server. File size should be limited to the available storage.&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;
** innovaphone is taking great care for the privacy of your data. Details please find on our website [http://www.innovaphone.com/en/privacy.html here]. Further, please check [http://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#k part K] of our general terms and conditions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Directive (EU) 2018/1972&#039;&#039;&#039;: Adopted by the European Union in December 2018 to set-up a European Electronic Communications Code (EECC).

== Applies To ==&lt;br /&gt;
This information applies to&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud from version 13r1 and higher&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud STANDARD and PREMIUM&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following table reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

== FAQs ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with average requirements (typically between 5 and 100, max. 250 ports, up to approx. 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, availavillity, recovery time, e.g. for contact center scenarios, or similar).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?====&lt;br /&gt;
* in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
* As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?====&lt;br /&gt;
This service is available in German and English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Where (geographically) is the service being produced?====&lt;br /&gt;
Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is Let&#039;s Encrypt supported in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In the myApps Cloud we work with &#039;purchased&#039; *.innovaphone.com certificates - therefore Let&#039;s Encrypt is not necessary there. In addition, no Let&#039;s Encrypt App should be started on the myApps Cloud instances. This would change the default values for the cloud and cause massive registration problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be an exception with &#039;&#039;&#039;15r1&#039;&#039;&#039; in the scope of the &#039;&#039;&#039;federation&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This will require the Let&#039; Encrypt app on the app platform (&#039;&#039;more details soon in a separate wiki article&#039;&#039;). &lt;br /&gt;
* However, it is already known that special entries will be required on the reverse proxy. &lt;br /&gt;
* In this case, please open a ticket with the cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?====&lt;br /&gt;
Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements - especially when using the PREMIUM plattform. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations on the STANDARD plattform, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].Further, just verify:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done with registration via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider Deutsche Telekom has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address. Therefore this product is not suitable for hosting scenarios and consequently it is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Since the beginning of 2022, the Deutsche Telekom has discontinued this product. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?====&lt;br /&gt;
The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?====&lt;br /&gt;
myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the STANDARD plattform, the 24x7 infrastructure support is optional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Cancellation ====&lt;br /&gt;
The cancelation process of a cloud instance is straight forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the event that a Cloud Instance (without specially agreed binding periods) is to be cancelled, please remove an eventually existing Auto-iSC agreement, remove all active licenses in the Devices App and notify the cloud team (by email) to initiate the removal of the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you need to cancel a Cloud Instance with a specific commitment period, please contact your Inside Sales representative to understand the specific terms.&lt;br /&gt;
Please note:&lt;br /&gt;
* An eventually remain balance of iSC will not be refunded.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Auto-iSC agreement can be cancelled by the partner at any time, unless it is blocked by specially agreed binding periods. In the latter case, it is important to cancel the special agreement first. In this case, please contact your Inside Sales representative as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
After innovaphone received an order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
* It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== As a partner, can I restart my App-Platform VM by myself after a shutdown? ====&lt;br /&gt;
No - cloud VMs must always be restarted by the innovaphone cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If this becomes necessary outside our business hours (9 a.m. - 5 p.m.) or at the weekend (Sat + Sun)&lt;br /&gt;
** AND you have agreed appropriate SLAs with your end-customers&lt;br /&gt;
** you can order the innovaphone infrastructure service (24x7) optionally in our STANDARD Cloud product.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Simply add the licence under Devices &amp;gt; Rental &amp;gt; Configure licences &amp;gt; Cloud Infrastructure License - Start &lt;br /&gt;
*** The Cloud team will then contact you via a ticket regarding the modalities&lt;br /&gt;
* In the PREMIUM Cloud product, the innovaphone infrastructure service is already included by default .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
* High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039; Operational-Datacenters&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&lt;br /&gt;
* System backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&lt;br /&gt;
* The expected Recovery-time is depending on the used product version:&lt;br /&gt;
** In case if STANDARD, a Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours is expected.&lt;br /&gt;
** For PREMIUM, with a fully automated recovery, we are expecting a recovery within seconds. &lt;br /&gt;
** General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
* you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
* it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform. Please keep in mind, that this App is not a file server. File size should be limited to the available storage.&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;

== Applies To ==&lt;br /&gt;
This information applies to&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud from version 13r1 and higher&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud STANDARD and PREMIUM&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following table reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

== FAQs ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with average requirements (typically between 5 and 100, max. 250 ports, up to approx. 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, availavillity, recovery time, e.g. for contact center scenarios, or similar).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?====&lt;br /&gt;
* in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
* As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?====&lt;br /&gt;
This service is available in German and English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Where (geographically) is the service being produced?====&lt;br /&gt;
Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is Let&#039;s Encrypt supported in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In the myApps Cloud we work with &#039;purchased&#039; *.innovaphone.com certificates - therefore Let&#039;s Encrypt is not necessary there. In addition, no Let&#039;s Encrypt App should be started on the myApps Cloud instances. This would change the default values for the cloud and cause massive registration problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be an exception with &#039;&#039;&#039;15r1&#039;&#039;&#039; in the scope of the &#039;&#039;&#039;federation&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This will require the Let&#039; Encrypt app on the app platform (&#039;&#039;more details soon in a separate wiki article&#039;&#039;). &lt;br /&gt;
* However, it is already known that special entries will be required on the reverse proxy. &lt;br /&gt;
* In this case, please open a ticket with the cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?====&lt;br /&gt;
Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?====&lt;br /&gt;
The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements - especially when using the PREMIUM plattform. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations on the STANDARD plattform, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].Further, just verify:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done with registration via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider Deutsche Telekom has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address. Therefore this product is not suitable for hosting scenarios and consequently it is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Since the beginning of 2022, the Deutsche Telekom has discontinued this product. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?====&lt;br /&gt;
The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?====&lt;br /&gt;
myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
* on the STANDARD plattform, the 24x7 infrastructure support is optional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Cancellation ====&lt;br /&gt;
The cancelation process of a cloud instance is straight forward.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the event that a Cloud Instance is to be cancelled (without specially agreed binding periods), please remove an eventually existing Auto-iSC agreement, remove all active licenses in the Devices App and notify the cloud team (by email) to initiate the removal of the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you need to cancel a Cloud Instance with a specific commitment period, please contact your Inside Sales representative to understand the specific terms.&lt;br /&gt;
Please note:&lt;br /&gt;
* An eventually remain balance of iSC will not be refunded.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Auto-iSC agreement can be cancelled by the partner at any time, unless it is blocked by specially agreed binding periods. In the latter case, it is important to cancel the special agreement first. In this case, please contact your Inside Sales representative as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
After innovaphone received an order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?====&lt;br /&gt;
There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?====&lt;br /&gt;
No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?====&lt;br /&gt;
The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
* It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== As a partner, can I restart my App-Platform VM by myself after a shutdown? ====&lt;br /&gt;
No - cloud VMs must always be restarted by the innovaphone cloud team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If this becomes necessary outside our business hours (9 a.m. - 5 p.m.) or at the weekend (Sat + Sun)&lt;br /&gt;
** AND you have agreed appropriate SLAs with your end-customers&lt;br /&gt;
** you can order the innovaphone infrastructure service (24x7) optionally in our STANDARD Cloud product.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Simply add the licence under Devices &amp;gt; Rental &amp;gt; Configure licences &amp;gt; Cloud Infrastructure License - Start &lt;br /&gt;
*** The Cloud team will then contact you via a ticket regarding the modalities&lt;br /&gt;
* In the PREMIUM Cloud product, the innovaphone infrastructure service is already included by default .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
* High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039; Operational-Datacenters&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&lt;br /&gt;
* System backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&lt;br /&gt;
* The expected Recovery-time is depending on the used product version:&lt;br /&gt;
** In case if STANDARD, a Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours is expected.&lt;br /&gt;
** For PREMIUM, with a fully automated recovery, we are expecting a recovery within seconds. &lt;br /&gt;
** General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?====&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
* you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
* it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform. Please keep in mind, that this App is not a file server. File size should be limited to the available storage.&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;
** innovaphone is taking great care for the privacy of your data. Details please find on our website [http://www.innovaphone.com/en/privacy.html here]. Further, please check [http://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#k part K] of our general terms and conditions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Directive (EU) 2018/1972&#039;&#039;&#039;: Adopted by the European Union in December 2018 to set-up a European Electronic Communications Code (EECC). Details, please check [http://www.europeansources.info/record/directive-eu-2018-1972-establishing-the-european-electronic-communications-code/ here]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== How to configure a Standby from the master PBX on the Cloud ==&lt;br /&gt;
The following explains the configuration to have a Slave or Standby PBX connected to a Master PBX (in the Cloud)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Configuration on the Master PBX ===&lt;br /&gt;
*In the PBX create a PBX Object, named e.g. slavepbx&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;==&amp;gt; NOTE: The password of this object you will need to configuer on the Standby or Slave PBX&lt;br /&gt;
=== Configuration on the Standby or Slave PBX ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*System Name&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;==&amp;gt; This stands for the Domaine Name of the Cloud Instance. Example: customerdomain.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*PBX Name&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;==&amp;gt; This muss be identical, to the name configured on the master. On the example bekow, &amp;quot;master&amp;quot; would be the correct name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Registration to the Master&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;==&amp;gt; Should be with encryption (H.323/TLS)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Master&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;==&amp;gt; IP Address of the Master PBX: Use the Public IP Address through which the Master PBX is reachable.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Note: A DNS address is not supported here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Replicate from Master using TLS&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following table reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with average requirements (typically between 5 and 100, max. 250 ports, up to approx. 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, availavillity, recovery time, e.g. for contact center scenarios, or similar).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
** in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
** As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
*** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
*** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: This service is available in German and English.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Where (geographically) is the service being produced?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is Let&#039;s Encrypt supported in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In the myApps Cloud we work with &#039;purchased&#039; *.innovaphone.com certificates - therefore Let&#039;s Encrypt is not necessary there. In addition, no Let&#039;s Encrypt App should be started on the myApps Cloud instances. This would change the default values for the cloud and cause massive registration problems.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements - especially when using the PREMIUM plattform. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations on the STANDARD plattform, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done with registration via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider Deutsche Telekom has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address. Therefore this product is not suitable for hosting scenarios and consequently it is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Since the beginning of 2022, the Deutsche Telekom has discontinued this product. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
** on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
** on the STANDARD plattform, the 24x7 infrastructure support is optional.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received an order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039; Operational-Datacenters&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** System backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The expected Recovery-time is depending on the used product version:&lt;br /&gt;
*** In case if STANDARD, a Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours is expected.&lt;br /&gt;
*** For PREMIUM, with a fully automated recovery, we are expecting a recovery within seconds. &lt;br /&gt;
*** General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
** you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
** it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform. Please keep in mind, that this App is not a file server. File size should be limited to the available storage.&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;

=Known Issues=&lt;br /&gt;
*It has been shown in field projects, that although the SIP registrations/connections generally work with TLS (5061) ...&lt;br /&gt;
**... but they are &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;often more stable with 5060&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
*The provisioning link from the Gigaset Provisioning App is possibly created as an http link ...&lt;br /&gt;
**... but it only works in the Gigaset Integrator as an &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;http&#039;&#039;&#039;s&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; link.&lt;br /&gt;
*When provisioning the handsets, the Gigaset MAC/&#039;&#039;&#039;iPUI&#039;&#039;&#039; can be read on the box (you require this with the UsersAdmin).&lt;br /&gt;
**If you have many handsets, it can also be done using a standard barcode scanner. &lt;br /&gt;
*Check whether the checkboxes for &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;PBX Pwd&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Reverse Proxy&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Media Relay&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; were automatically set in the user object when the phone was created for the user. &lt;br /&gt;
**Set manually if necessary. [[Image: gspapp_pwd-rp-mrelay.png|thumb|upright=1.0|right|user devices, checkboxes]]&lt;br /&gt;

This information applies to&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud from version 13r1 and higher&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud STANDARD and PREMIUM&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following table reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with average requirements (typically between 5 and 100, max. 250 ports, up to approx. 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, availavillity, recovery time, e.g. for contact center scenarios, or similar).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
** in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
** As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
*** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
*** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: This service is available in German and English.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Where (geographically) is the service being produced?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements - especially when using the PREMIUM plattform. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations on the STANDARD plattform, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
** on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
** on the STANDARD plattform, the 24x7 infrastructure support is optional.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received an order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039; Operational-Datacenters&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** System backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** The expected Recovery-time is depending on the used product version:&lt;br /&gt;
*** In case if STANDARD, a Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours is expected.&lt;br /&gt;
*** For PREMIUM, with a fully automated recovery, we are expecting a recovery within seconds. &lt;br /&gt;
*** General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
** you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
** it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform. Please keep in mind, that this App is not a file server. File size should be limited to the available storage.&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* innovaphone myApps Cloud from version 13r1 and higher&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud STANDARD and PREMIUM&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following table reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with average requirements (from 5 up to 100, max. 250 ports, up to approx. 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, e.g., in combination with contact center scenarios, etc.).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: If a Cloud instance has been ordered or is being operated:&lt;br /&gt;
** in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
** As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
*** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
*** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: This service is available in German and English.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Where (geographically) is the service being produced?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases.

** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases.

&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements - especially when using the PREMIUM plattform. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations on the STANDARD plattform, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
** on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received an order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039;an Operational-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nightly system backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Further, provisioning of &#039;&#039;&#039;a Disaster-Recovery-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In case of losing the Operational-Datacenter, the &#039;&#039;&#039;proven Disaster-Recovery-Plan&#039;&#039;&#039; defines:&lt;br /&gt;
*** A restore of the Operational-Datacenters entire infrastructure from the Backup-Datacenter to the Disaster-Datacenter. &lt;br /&gt;
*** The access-URL&#039;s are reconfigured.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Our partners are being informed on the status and on eventual need for changing local firewall rules.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A &#039;&#039;&#039;Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours&#039;&#039;&#039; is expected.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
** you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
** it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform.&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;

== The name question - domain / system name ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On the last page, you will be asked &#039;&#039; &#039;Which domain can be used to identify the installation?&#039; &#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Notice:&#039;&#039;&#039; To create a cloud instance, a unique and meaningful domain name is needed. This domain name is essentially used:&lt;br /&gt;
** as System Name inside your Cloud PBX,&lt;br /&gt;
** to create internal user names (if you are considering to use federation in future, it might be helpful to use the same domain name, you are using already as company email),&lt;br /&gt;
** to identify your cloud instance in the Devices App (perhaps, in a future stage, you may have more than one domain to manage, thus, a meaningful domain name is very helpful).&lt;br /&gt;
** if you already have a &#039;myApps On-Premise&#039; installation, and you will have an additional myApps Cloud instance, it is recommended &#039;&#039;&#039;NOT&#039;&#039;&#039; to use the &#039;&#039;&#039;same domain name&#039;&#039;&#039; for the additional &#039;myApps Cloud&#039; installation &lt;br /&gt;
***in this case you might call it e.g. &#039;&#039; &#039;customer&#039;&#039;&#039;-cloud&#039;&#039;&#039;.domain.com&#039; &#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Insert the estimated number of ports for users and trunks&lt;br /&gt;
* In the line for &#039;&#039; &#039;Grant access rights for partner domain&#039; &#039;&#039;, only a partner domain which is also running on the innovaphone myApps Cloud &#039;&#039;should currently&#039;&#039; be entered&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* As soon as the process is concluded, you will receive a copy of the submitted documents by email.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 2: To do&#039;s by innovaphone =&lt;br /&gt;
* Following, innovaphone will check the submitted information. If everything is fine, the myApps Cloud Contract will be accepted by innovaphone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The respective cloud instances will be created by innovaphone and by email, you will receive an installation link, generally about 24 hours after registration.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 3: What&#039;s next =&lt;br /&gt;
* Within a time-frame of 10 days, you should&lt;br /&gt;
** carry out the installation, which will take eventually 5 to 10 minutes (details to the &#039;&#039;[[Howto:V13_MyApps_Cloud_-_Installation | &#039;MyApps Cloud - Installation&#039; here]]&#039;&#039;  ), and&lt;br /&gt;

This domain name is essentially used:&lt;br /&gt;
** as System Name inside your Cloud PBX,&lt;br /&gt;
** to create internal user names (if you are considering to use federation in future, it might be helpful to use the same domain name, you are using already as company email),&lt;br /&gt;
** to identify your cloud instance in the Devices App (perhaps, in a future stage, you may have more than one domain to manage, thus, a meaningful domain name is very helpful).&lt;br /&gt;

The installation and the use of the &amp;quot;myApps Cloud Service&amp;quot; require the conclusion of a set of documents between the reseller (or the end-customer, or the reseller on behalf of the end-customer) and innovaphone. There is an online process in place, which will guide you through the process. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use the following steps, to apply for a myApps Cloud instance:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Step 1: Tasks in your my.innovaphone portal =&lt;br /&gt;
== Login and select your company ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Use your already existing credentials to access [https://my.innovaphone.com my.innovaphone.com]&lt;br /&gt;
** In case you do not have an account yet, please create a new personal user account.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Important:&#039;&#039;&#039; Please enter your real name and a valid business e-mail address including a company domain. Fictitious email adresses (such as it@..., innovaphone@..., tech@..., etc.) or private email addresses (such as ...@gmail.com, ...@hotmail.com, ...@web.de, etc.) are not permitted and &#039;&#039;&#039;will lead to a rejection of the documents&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Every personal user account can be associated to various company accounts. &lt;br /&gt;
** In case you want to create a new company please press &#039;&#039; &#039;Create company account&#039; &#039;&#039; (on the left side - pop-up menu).&lt;br /&gt;
** Is the company already existing on my.innovaphone.com, kindly ask a responsible person to invite you to this company (button &#039;&#039; &#039;invite person&#039; &#039;&#039;, and enter your email address).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*The main advantages of the PREMIUM over the STANDARD environment are:&lt;br /&gt;
**the &#039;&#039;&#039;fully automated GEOredundancy&#039;&#039;&#039; between two &#039;&#039;&#039;High-Available Data-Centers&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following table reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with particularly average requirements (from 5 up to roughly 250 ports, up to 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, e.g., in combination with contact center scenarios, etc.).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: If a Cloud instance has been ordered or is being operated:&lt;br /&gt;
** in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
** As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
*** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
*** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: This service is available in German and English.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Where (geographically) is the service being produced?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements - especially when using the PREMIUM plattform. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations on the STANDARD plattform, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
** on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received an order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039;an Operational-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nightly system backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Further, provisioning of &#039;&#039;&#039;a Disaster-Recovery-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In case of losing the Operational-Datacenter, the &#039;&#039;&#039;proven Disaster-Recovery-Plan&#039;&#039;&#039; defines:&lt;br /&gt;
*** A restore of the Operational-Datacenters entire infrastructure from the Backup-Datacenter to the Disaster-Datacenter. &lt;br /&gt;
*** The access-URL&#039;s are reconfigured.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Our partners are being informed on the status and on eventual need for changing local firewall rules.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A &#039;&#039;&#039;Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours&#039;&#039;&#039; is expected.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
** you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
** it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform.&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with particularly average requirements (from 5 up to roughly 250 ports, up to 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for large systems with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, e.g., in combination with contact center scenarios, etc.).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: If a Cloud instance has been ordered or is being operated:&lt;br /&gt;
** in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
** As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 infrastructure supporte hotline. &lt;br /&gt;
*** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The service is aimed exclusively for cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
*** This support is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: This service is available in German and English.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Where (geographically) is the service being produced?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Both product versions are implemented in different data centers in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to bandwidth consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each other. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
** on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to upgrade from the myApps Cloud STANDARD to the PREMIUM platform?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically yes, but:&lt;br /&gt;
** please keep in mind the solution is operated on two different platforms and in two different data centers. Consequently, a migration process is necessary that requires intervention. Planning work and a corresponding lead time must be expected here.&lt;br /&gt;
** In practical terms and for small installations it might be easier to do a new installation.&lt;br /&gt;
** From a commercial point of view, a new contract must be issued, with the same domain name. The prior instance will be deleted after successful migration.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received the order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039;an Operational-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nightly system backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Further, provisioning of &#039;&#039;&#039;a Disaster-Recovery-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In case of losing the Operational-Datacenter, the &#039;&#039;&#039;proven Disaster-Recovery-Plan&#039;&#039;&#039; defines:&lt;br /&gt;
*** A restore of the Operational-Datacenters entire infrastructure from the Backup-Datacenter to the Disaster-Datacenter. &lt;br /&gt;
*** The access-URL&#039;s are reconfigured.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Our partners are being informed on the status and on eventual need for changing local firewall rules.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A &#039;&#039;&#039;Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours&#039;&#039;&#039; is expected.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTP or HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
** you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
** it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform.&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;

* innovaphone myApps Cloud from version 13r1 and higher&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud STANDARD and PREMIUM&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following table reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

== FAQs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with particularly average requirements (from 5 up to roughly 250 ports, up to 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM platform was designed for customers with customized or explicitly high requirements (load sharing mechanisms, e.g., in combination with contact center scenarios, etc.). Our recommendation installations above 250 ports would be to opt for the PREMIUM platform.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: If a myApps Cloud instance has been ordered or is being operated:&lt;br /&gt;
** in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technician is available per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
** As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 cloud operations hotline based on the aforementioned STANDARD cloud conditions. &lt;br /&gt;
*** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The cloud operations hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The service is aimed exclusively at cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
*** This includes support that is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e., no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: This service is also available in German and English.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Where (geographically) is the service being produced?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Both product versions are implemented in different data centers and both are located in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to Bandwidth Consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore, no external bandwidth must be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore, it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you can use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore, the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the number of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Order-Process and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically, cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer should place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contract term.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How is the order process, specifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, when ordering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
** on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastructure support license must be included (mandatory) and SMB licenses are excluded.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to upgrade from the myApps Cloud STANDARD to the PREMIUM platform?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically yes, but:&lt;br /&gt;
** please keep in mind the solution is operated on two different platforms and in two different data centers. Consequently, a migration process is necessary that requires intervention. Planning work and a corresponding lead time must be expected here.&lt;br /&gt;
** In practical terms and for small installations it might be easier to do a new installation.&lt;br /&gt;
** From a commercial point of view, a new contract must be issued, with the same domain name. The prior instance will be deleted after successful migration.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received the order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email).

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039;an Operational-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nightly system backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Further, provisioning of &#039;&#039;&#039;a Disaster-Recovery-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In case of losing the Operational-Datacenter, the &#039;&#039;&#039;proven Disaster-Recovery-Plan&#039;&#039;&#039; defines:&lt;br /&gt;
*** A restore of the Operational-Datacenters entire infrastructure from the Backup-Datacenter to the Disaster-Datacenter. &lt;br /&gt;
*** The access-URL&#039;s are reconfigured.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Our partners are being informed on the status and on eventual need for changing local firewall rules.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A &#039;&#039;&#039;Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours&#039;&#039;&#039; is expected.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTP or HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise system, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, there are basically three options:&lt;br /&gt;
** you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
** it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform.&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== System, Services and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with particularly avreage requirements (from 5 up to roughly 250 ports, up to 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM plattform was desiged for customers with customised or explicitly hight requirements (loadsharing mecanisms, e.g. in combination with contact center szenarios, etc.). Our recomendation installations avove 250 ports would be to opt for the PREMIUM platform.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What exactly does the extended 24x7 service of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM include and how does it differ from standard cloud support?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: If a myApps Cloud instance has been ordered or is beeing operated:&lt;br /&gt;
** in the frame of the myApps Cloud STANDARD a technichan is availiable per email during normal business hours, Monday to Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
** As part of the myApps Cloud PREMIUM, innovaphone offers the extended 24x7 cloud operations hotline based on the aforementioned STANDARD cloud conditions. &lt;br /&gt;
*** This is an emergency service that can be used by certified innovaphone technicians.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The cloud operations hotline operates outside normal business hours, on weekends and on public holidays.&lt;br /&gt;
*** The service is aimed exclusively at cloud instances in operation.&lt;br /&gt;
*** This includes support that is limited to problems in the areas of infrastructure and virtualization platform (i.e. no installation and configuration support in this time-frame).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: In which languages is the cloud support and hotline available?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: This service is also available in German and English.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Where (geographically) is the service beeing produced?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Both product versions are implemented in different data centers and both are located in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to Bandwidth Consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore no external bandwidth has to be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you are able to use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Orderprocess and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer has to place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a minimum contract term required to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contrac term.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How is the order process, especifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, wehen odering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
** on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastruction support license has to be included (mandatory) and SMB licences are excluded.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to upgrade from the myApps Cloud STANDARD to the PREMIUM platform?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically YES, but:&lt;br /&gt;
** please keep in mind the solution is operated on two different plattforms and in two different data centers. Consequently, a migration process is necessary that requires intervention. Planning work and a corresponding lead time must be expected here.&lt;br /&gt;
** In practical terms and for small installations it might be easier to do a new installation.&lt;br /&gt;
** From a commercial point of view, a new contract must be issued, with the same domain name. The prior instance will be deleted after successful migration.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received the order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039;an Operational-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nightly system backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Further, provisioning of &#039;&#039;&#039;a Disaster-Recovery-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In case of loosing the Operational-Datacenter, the &#039;&#039;&#039;proven Disaster-Recovery-Plan&#039;&#039;&#039; defines:&lt;br /&gt;
*** A restore of the Operational-Datacenters entire infrastructure from the Backup-Datacenter to the Disaster-Datacenter. &lt;br /&gt;
*** The access-URL&#039;s are reconfigured.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Our partners are being informed on the status and on eventual need for changing local firewall rules.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A &#039;&#039;&#039;Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours&#039;&#039;&#039; is expected.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTP or HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise systems, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, there are basically three optopns:&lt;br /&gt;
** you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
** it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform.&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Herefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following tables reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== System and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What are the typical application scenarios for the above product versions?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud STANDARD was designed for customers with particularly avreage requirements (from 5 up to roughly 250 ports, up to 5 SIP trunks per PBX and with a moderate IVR usage and call volume). The PREMIUM plattform was desiged for customers with customised or explicitly hight requirements (loadsharing mecanisms, e.g. in combination with contact center szenarios, etc.). Our recomendation installations avove 250 ports would be to opt for the PREMIUM platform.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Where (geographically) is the service beeing produced?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Both product versions are implemented in different data centers and both are located in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to Bandwidth Consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore no external bandwidth has to be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you are able to use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Orderprocess and Pricing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer has to place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a minimum contract term to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contrac term.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How is the order process, especifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, wehen odering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the price for the myApps Cloud Service?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: myApps Cloud installations are calculated according to price list.&lt;br /&gt;
** on the PREMIUM environment the 24x7 infrastruction support license has to be included (mandatory) and SMB licences are excluded.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received the order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039;an Operational-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nightly system backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Further, provisioning of &#039;&#039;&#039;a Disaster-Recovery-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In case of loosing the Operational-Datacenter, the &#039;&#039;&#039;proven Disaster-Recovery-Plan&#039;&#039;&#039; defines:&lt;br /&gt;
*** A restore of the Operational-Datacenters entire infrastructure from the Backup-Datacenter to the Disaster-Datacenter. &lt;br /&gt;
*** The access-URL&#039;s are reconfigured.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Our partners are being informed on the status and on eventual need for changing local firewall rules.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A &#039;&#039;&#039;Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours&#039;&#039;&#039; is expected.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTP or HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise systems, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, there are basically three optopns:&lt;br /&gt;
** you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
** it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform.&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* innovaphone myApps Cloud from version 13r1 and higher&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud STANDARD and PREMIUM&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Herefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following tables reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== System and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Where is the service beeing produced?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Both product versions are implemented in different data centers and both are located in Germany. The two data centers used for the myApps Cloud PREMIUM are approximately 10 km apart from each other.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to Bandwidth Consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore no external bandwidth has to be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you are able to use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Orderprocess ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Who can order a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Basically cloud instances are only ordered and operated through certified partners. This means that an end customer has to place an order through a certified partner. The partner then places the order at innovaphone. There are some special cases in which exceptions are made - with the partner&#039;s involvement.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a minimum contract term to operate a myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, none of our cloud products requires a fixed contrac term.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How is the order process, especifically for myApps Cloud PREMIUM?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The ordering process corresponds to the standard ordering process of the myApps Cloud service and is done through our contract portal. All you have to do is select the PREMIUM contract, wehen odering. The installation link is usually provided Monday to Friday within 24 hours.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received the order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039;an Operational-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nightly system backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Further, provisioning of &#039;&#039;&#039;a Disaster-Recovery-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In case of loosing the Operational-Datacenter, the &#039;&#039;&#039;proven Disaster-Recovery-Plan&#039;&#039;&#039; defines:&lt;br /&gt;
*** A restore of the Operational-Datacenters entire infrastructure from the Backup-Datacenter to the Disaster-Datacenter. &lt;br /&gt;
*** The access-URL&#039;s are reconfigured.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Our partners are being informed on the status and on eventual need for changing local firewall rules.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A &#039;&#039;&#039;Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours&#039;&#039;&#039; is expected.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTP or HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise systems, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, there are basically three optopns:&lt;br /&gt;
** you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
** it is possible to store the trace files on Files App, on the respective App Platform.&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not save traces on local Flash Disk of the PBX, as this can lead to a trap of the PBX, when the local Flash disk becomes full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== The purpose of the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Virtualization via highly available and redundant cluster systems are creating a variety of new opportunities when providing efficient IT services.&lt;br /&gt;
Herefore innovaphone AG provides the myApps Cloud service, as a flexible UCaaS platform. Consequently, the innovaphone myApps Cloud allows certified partners to offer and integrate such services without investing in an own infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is available in two different service variations - the STANDARD and the PREMIUM version. The following tables reveals the differences:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== System and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to Bandwidth Consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore no external bandwidth has to be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you are able to use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received the order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform.

As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTP or HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise systems, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface.

&lt;br /&gt;
__toc__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Applies To ==&lt;br /&gt;
This information applies to&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud from version 13r1 and higher&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== FAQs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== System and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to Bandwidth Consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore no external bandwidth has to be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you are able to use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Applies To ==&lt;br /&gt;
This information applies to&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud from version 13r1 and higher&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== FAQs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== System and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to Bandwidth Consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore no external bandwidth has to be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you are able to use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received the order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to generate a backup of an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Please do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, but on an external storage. Thus, in the unlikely case of an instance failure, the backup is most probably accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039;an Operational-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nightly system backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Further, provisioning of &#039;&#039;&#039;a Disaster-Recovery-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In case of loosing the Operational-Datacenter, the &#039;&#039;&#039;proven Disaster-Recovery-Plan&#039;&#039;&#039; defines:&lt;br /&gt;
*** A restore of the Operational-Datacenters entire infrastructure from the Backup-Datacenter to the Disaster-Datacenter. &lt;br /&gt;
*** The access-URL&#039;s are reconfigured.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Our partners are being informed on the status and on eventual need for changing local firewall rules.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A &#039;&#039;&#039;Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours&#039;&#039;&#039; is expected.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTP or HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise systems, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here].

** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What is the max. upper limit of supported ports / amount of branch offices / number of SIP trunks for a myApps Cloud installation?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud concept is based on innovaphone’s highly modular technology. Therefore it can easily be adapted to very large projects or highly specific requirements. Thus, a “hard” upper limit does not exist. With default configurations, the myApps Cloud instance is set to serve installations with up to 100 users. For installations larger than this, the responsible reseller may discuss specific project requirements with our presales department.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to use FAX on the myApps Cloud PBX?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you are able to use FAX on the myApps Cloud platform, however it should be clearly understood to what degree the SIP provider does support T.38 (Suggestion: Clearly ask your SIP provider, if his network will convert an audio fax to T.38).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In general, we distinguish between two cases:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Audio Fax&#039;&#039;&#039;: In case the SIP carrier does not convert faxes to T.38, an additional hardware DSP is needed to do this job. Therefore the use of one of our hardware devices with fax interface and a DSPs must be physically available (meaning, purchase or rent the respective hardware device, e.g. IP29-x). Further, the necessary licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&lt;br /&gt;
*** PBX Port License is needed.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;T.38 through SIP provider&#039;&#039;&#039;: In Case a FAX call is converted to T.38 through the SIP carrier. This method is supported by the FAX interface of the myApps Cloud PBX without additional hardware. In this case, the following licenses shall be configured via the Devices App &amp;gt; Software Rental:&lt;br /&gt;
*** At least one PBX Port License is needed&lt;br /&gt;
*** Fax License (or UC License, which already contains Fax License), according to the amount of users.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Which SIP trunks do you support in the cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: In principle, we support all certified SIP provider, for which a profile is available in the innovaphone PBX. For your reference, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Category:Automated_SIP_Tests here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Further, just verify:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Termination&#039;&#039;&#039; - The SIP trunk is generally terminated directly on the Cloud PBX. Therefore, it must be ensured that the SIP provider is willing to terminate the trunk on the respective data center (at this moment locations in Germany only).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039; - It must be ensured that the authentication to a SIP trunk is done via username and password (not through IP address).&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Workaround&#039;&#039;&#039; - In case of issues with the above topics, a SIP trunk may be terminated locally, at the customers premises, through a gateway. In the simplest case, the termination might be done on a innovaphone FAX gateway, such as for example the IP29-2.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Exceptions&#039;&#039;&#039; - Some SIP trunks have special behaviors in a hosted cloud environment, which we describe in the following, according to our knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;
*** &#039;&#039;&#039;Deutschland-LAN&#039;&#039;&#039; - Due to security reasons, the provider has limited the product to the use of a maximum of 5 simultaneous TCP sessions from a single IP address, such as our cloud platform (see [https://geschaeftskunden.telekom.de/internet-dsl/tarife/festnetz-internet-dsl/deutschlandlan-sip-trunk/sip-trunk-technische-unterlage product description, section 11.3]). Therefore this product is not suitable for such kind of hosting scenarios and therefore is not supported by the myApps Cloud platform. Alternative products are available from the same provider.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install and Provisioning ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the Installation of the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: After innovaphone received the order for a cloud instance, the configuration will be generated and the partner receives an URL for the installation process. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:MyApps_Cloud:_Installation here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How does the regular, day-to-day access to the myApps Cloud work?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are many ways to access and work with the myApps Cloud platform. Below a small selection of possibilities:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Phones&#039;&#039;&#039; - after the installation, innovaphone desk phones will connect automatically through a corporate LAN and the internet to the myApps Cloud. No specific actions from the user are required.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;myApps Communication Client&#039;&#039;&#039; - This software does exist as a native client for various operating Systems, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc. Once installed and under normal operation condition, the application opens and connects itself automatically to the cloud platform. The myApps Client might be started through standard browsers as well. In this case, the user has to identify himself through username and password (and Two-factor authentication by email). Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible generate a backup of the from an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Olease do not store backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, because in the unlikely case of an instance failure, this backup is most probably not accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039;an Operational-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nightly system backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Further, provisioning of &#039;&#039;&#039;a Disaster-Recovery-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In case of loosing the Operational-Datacenter, the &#039;&#039;&#039;proven Disaster-Recovery-Plan&#039;&#039;&#039; defines:&lt;br /&gt;
*** A restore of the Operational-Datacenters entire infrastructure from the Backup-Datacenter to the Disaster-Datacenter. &lt;br /&gt;
*** The access-URL&#039;s are reconfigured.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Our partners are being informed on the status and on eventual need for changing local firewall rules.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A &#039;&#039;&#039;Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours&#039;&#039;&#039; is expected.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTP or HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise systems, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Applies To ==&lt;br /&gt;
This information applies to&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone myApps Cloud from version 13r1 and higher&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== FAQs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== System and Features ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Are there any special requirements to access the myApps Cloud, e.g. from a standard home Internet connection or Home Office?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: There are no specific requirements. In most cases a standard Internet access will do fine. Specific considerations in regards to Bandwidth Consumption, please see below.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: How much bandwidth is being consumed through the different services?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Bandwidth consumption always depends on a series of different factors. Below, we will provide some rough estimations, and a link to further readings.&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Voice&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on the codec in use and packet size. The average data rate should not exceed 70kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/i.php?8228#Codecs here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Note: All innovaphone devices support the ICE protocol, which is a technique to find the most direct way for two devices to talk to each. If properly applied, this technique allows to maintain network internal calls inside the LAN. Therefore no external bandwidth has to be considered, for such cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Concept_ICE here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Video&#039;&#039;&#039; - Mainly depending on resolution and frame rate. The average data rate should not exceed 350kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Video_capture here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Application Sharing&#039;&#039;&#039; - The maximum data rate should be 500kbps. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps_platform_services#Application_sharing here].&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Idle Bandwidth&#039;&#039;&#039; - The average data rate, including the synchronization of presence information should be below 1 kbps, and therefor negligible in most cases. Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r2:Concept_myApps#Idle_Bandwidth here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: What protocols are used, to access the myApps Cloud, what ports are used?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The myApps Cloud is relying on standard protocols. Phones and the myApps Client are using the following protocols to access the cloud (those should be usable through the local NAT router): &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;http/https&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 80, 443 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;SIP/SIPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 5060, 5061 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;H.323 with&#039;&#039;&#039; ports 1720, 1300 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;LDAP/LDAPS&#039;&#039;&#039; with ports 389, 636 &lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;STUN/TURN/ICE&#039;&#039;&#039; Phones generally use this mechanism to discover its public IP address, when it is located behind a NAT/Firewall.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference13r1:Concept_myApps here].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can phones be connected (rollout) to the myApps Cloud PBX without using the innovaphone provisioning process?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: No, specifically in the Cloud, the provisioning of devices (phones, gateways) has to be realized trough the innovaphone provisioning process.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Operations ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible generate a backup of the from an entire myApps Cloud Instance?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: The configuration of a regular backup to an external storage is possible and can be configured easily, through the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is highly recommendable, to generate such a regular backup on an external storage device. The innovaphone GTC refers to this issue as &amp;quot;Customers Obligation&amp;quot; in chapter 7.6. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here].&lt;br /&gt;
** Not much helpful, is the storage of such backups on the App Platform of the respective Cloud Instance, because in the unlikely case of an instance failure, this backup is most probably not accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is there a Disaster-Recovery-Plan and what Recovery-Time is expected?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, we have a High-Availability-, Backup- and Disaster-Recovery-Concept, with the following specifics:&lt;br /&gt;
** High-Availability / Multi-Server redundancy trough &#039;&#039;&#039;an Operational-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany - currently based on vSphere™ technology from VMware®.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Nightly system backups to &#039;&#039;&#039;a remote Backup-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039; in Germany.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Further, provisioning of &#039;&#039;&#039;a Disaster-Recovery-Datacenter&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** In case of loosing the Operational-Datacenter, the &#039;&#039;&#039;proven Disaster-Recovery-Plan&#039;&#039;&#039; defines:&lt;br /&gt;
*** A restore of the Operational-Datacenters entire infrastructure from the Backup-Datacenter to the Disaster-Datacenter. &lt;br /&gt;
*** The access-URL&#039;s are reconfigured.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Our partners are being informed on the status and on eventual need for changing local firewall rules.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** A &#039;&#039;&#039;Recovery-Time of 4-5 hours&#039;&#039;&#039; is expected.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*General information on this can also be found in our &#039;&#039;&#039;GT&amp;amp;C&#039;&#039;&#039;. [https://www.innovaphone.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions.html#j here]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== External connection through standard interfaces ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;SOAP&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, this is possible. As underlying transport mechanism SOAP is generally using HTTP or HTTPS (further readings [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:SOAP_API here]). In case of the myApps Cloud service, &#039;&#039;&#039;HTTPS&#039;&#039;&#039; is the only option to access the PBX. We recommend to create a specific account to give the SOAP application (limited) access to the system (In most scenario’s a User Object / User account in the PBX with delegated rights - for security reasons as less as possible - is preferred and will fit, depending what will be done through the SOAP application).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Can we use &#039;&#039;&#039;TAPI&#039;&#039;&#039; to connect to the myApps PBX platform in the Cloud?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, same as with an on-premise systems, the myApps Cloud PBX supports a TAPI interface. Call control via the TAPI interfaces is possible. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Course12:Advanced_-_TAPI here] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tracking and Tracing inside the myApps Cloud ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Question&#039;&#039;&#039;: Is it possible to write Wireshark / PCAP traces to an external URL?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer&#039;&#039;&#039;: Yes, you can write PCAP trace to a specified, external URL. Details, please check [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Pcap here] and [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference12r1:Maintenance/Diagnostics/Tracing here]. The URL is expected to be a folder on any standard WebDAV drive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regulations and compliance ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) 2016/679&#039;&#039;&#039;: Designed to harmonize data privacy laws across all the EU member countries as well as providing greater protection and rights to individuals. Details, please check [https://gdpr-info.eu/ here]&lt;br /&gt;

* For every single company, you might now add an independent contract (button &#039;add contract&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
** If you have been invited to a company and you do not see the button &#039;add contract&#039;, check the &#039;Authorized persons&#039;-tab and verify your permissions in this company account.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Select &#039;myApps Cloud service&#039; contract and continue the guidance. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Notice:&#039;&#039;&#039; The &#039;myApps Cloud service&#039; needs the following documents to be accepted:&lt;br /&gt;

** as System Name inside your Cloud PBX,&lt;br /&gt;
** to create internal user names (if you are considering to use federation in future, it might be helpful to use the same domain name, you are using already as company email),&lt;br /&gt;
** to identify your cloud instance in the Devices App (perhaps, in a future stage, you may have more than one domain to manage, thus, a meaningful domain name is very helpful).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* As soon as the process is concluded, you will receive a copy of the submitted documents by email.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;__toc__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Applies To=&lt;br /&gt;
This information applies to&lt;br /&gt;
* Howto activate the Automatic iSC Reloading Service (so called Auto-iSC)&lt;br /&gt;
* myApps v13&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through this service, it is possible to instruct innovaphone to automatically reload your iSC balance, to ensure that always enough iSC are available.&lt;br /&gt;
* The service itself is free of charge.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Precondition ==&lt;br /&gt;
To see an example of different preconditions you can click [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/img_auth.php/f/fc/Auto-iSC_00.png here]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An Auto-iSC contract can be created after&lt;br /&gt;
* a hardware- or software rental-contract (or a cloud-contract) was successfully added and accepted by innovaphone and &lt;br /&gt;
* one month worth of iSC was manually placed onto the balance and activated.&lt;br /&gt;
* in the case of on-prem software rental, please be aware, that the installation must be able to establish an Internet connection to innovaphone, in order to work properly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Activating the Automatic iSC Reloading Service ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the portal my.innovaphone.com click on “Add contract” and&lt;br /&gt;
Select [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/img_auth.php/3/38/Auto-iSC_01.png Automatic iSC Reloading Service]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Select Domain (Software rental domain or Cloud Instance) ==&lt;br /&gt;
A small [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/img_auth.php/b/b3/Auto-iSC_02.png window] shows the available software rental contracts and domain names.&lt;br /&gt;
Select the domain name, for witch you would like to activate iSC Reloading Service and press continue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Page 1  ==&lt;br /&gt;
[http://wiki.innovaphone.com/img_auth.php/4/46/Auto-iSC_03.png Press here to see Page 1]&lt;br /&gt;
=== General information ===&lt;br /&gt;
This page give a rough description on the iSC Reloading Service. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Page 2 ==&lt;br /&gt;
[http://wiki.innovaphone.com/img_auth.php/6/6d/Auto-iSC_04.png Press here to see Page 2]&lt;br /&gt;
=== Select the Reloading Service Timing === &lt;br /&gt;
Here you can specify the threshold, after which the mechanism will activate. Selecting e.g. 2 weeks (or 4 weeks) will initiate the reloading process 2 weeks (or 4 weeks) before the iSC balance does expire. If the available balance is lower then 2 weeks, the reloading process will be initiated anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===  Specify the amount of iSC to be reloaded === &lt;br /&gt;
This page allows to select how many iSCs will be credited to your balance. Depending on the consumption of the system, innovaphone will calculate the average monthly consumption of iSCs. You can select for how many months in advance you want innovaphone to reload your account with iSCs.&lt;br /&gt;
Select the amount of months and press continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Define the Term of the Automatic iSC Reloading Service ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Reloading Service is agreed for an indefinite term. You can terminate your order for this service at any time with immediate effect. Alternatively, you can specify an end date.&lt;br /&gt;
Please note: After the end of the Reloading Service, you will be responsible for ensuring manually that you always have sufficient iSC credit to use the rental items. If the iSC Balance does not suffice, it is not permitted and temporarily not possible to use the rental items (in particular emergency calls are not possible).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Notice Period&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**Cancellation is always possible to the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
**This means, cancellation must be made no later than 1 day before the automatic renewal will be activated.&lt;br /&gt;
**How to cancel: &amp;gt; my.innovaphone.com Contracts &amp;gt; select Auto iSC contract &amp;gt; cancel contract&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*When does the &#039;&#039;&#039;automatic recharge&#039;&#039;&#039; take place?&lt;br /&gt;
** The &amp;quot;trigger event&amp;quot; for the automatic recharge process can be selected, either &#039;&#039;&#039;2 or 4 weeks&#039;&#039;&#039; before the end of the systems operating time (meaning 2 or 4 weeks before all iSC are consumed).&lt;br /&gt;
**For each system, the end of the operating time can be found through the Devices App in the Software Rental tab.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*What is a &#039;&#039;&#039;recharging-interval&#039;&#039;&#039;? &lt;br /&gt;
**The &#039;&#039;&#039;recharging-interval&#039;&#039;&#039; defines the interval, in which the iSC account is recharged. You can select 1, 2, 3, 6 or 12 months. After recharging, the invoice to the partner will be generated. &lt;br /&gt;
**More specifically, the &#039;&#039;&#039;recharge interval&#039;&#039;&#039; defines the amount of iSC which will be charged onto the account, as soon as the above defined &amp;quot;trigger event&amp;quot; is meet. Consequently, according to the average monthly consumption of iSC, a credit for 1, 2, 3, 6 or 12 months of iSC is then loaded onto the account.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Who can order &#039;&#039;&#039;iSCs&#039;&#039;&#039;?&lt;br /&gt;
**An endcustomer orders via his reseller,&lt;br /&gt;
**The reseller orders via his distributor.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Who can conclude&#039;&#039;&#039; an Automatic iSC Recharging &#039;&#039;&#039;Contract&#039;&#039;&#039;?&lt;br /&gt;
** both, a reseller or an end customers&lt;br /&gt;
** In any case the invoice goes to the responsible reseller, who then will bill the end customer.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;How many iSCs have to be available&#039;&#039;&#039; on the iSC account in order to be able to use the Automatic iSC Recharge Service for the first time?&lt;br /&gt;
**We recommend loading initially enough iSC onto the account to ensure an operating time of 4 weeks.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*What happens if the &#039;&#039;&#039;number of users&#039;&#039;&#039; in the system configuration &#039;&#039;&#039;changes&#039;&#039;&#039;?&lt;br /&gt;
**If the number of licenses changes, the consumption of iSC per month consequently also changes.  &lt;br /&gt;
**This changes the time, when the automatic recharging is triggered. &lt;br /&gt;
**Specifically, this means:&lt;br /&gt;
***If the number of user licenses does increased, the next automatic recharge takes place earlier. &lt;br /&gt;
***If the number of user licenses does decrease, the next automatic recharge will take place later.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The software rental may include all the innovaphone software licenses indicated in the price list. &lt;br /&gt;
The rental fee is charged via the so-called iSC (innovaphone service credits), managed in the respective customer account. iSC can be purchased through an authorized innovaphone partner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Applies To==&lt;br /&gt;
This information applies to&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone PBX from version 13r1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Requirements==&lt;br /&gt;
* innovaphone PBX version 13r1 sr3 or higher&lt;br /&gt;
* a running App Platform and access to the Devices App&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rental program and Payment method==&lt;br /&gt;
innovaphone uses iSC (innovaphone Service Credits) as a payment method for the flexible rental program. The iSC are bound on a customer specific account. As soon as a software license is activated for renting, the account balance starts decreasing, in function of the given rental configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
* iSC can be ordered via the innovaphone sales channel and are managed through the myApps Platform. The delivery is realized in form of an activation key. Then iSC are loaded through the Devices App to a specific customer account. The customer account is logically connected to the my.innovaphone license portal. The rental licenses however, are managed exclusively via the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
* iSC are not bound to specific software licenses or devices, but to a customer account. Existing iSC balances can therefore be used flexibly, by the same customer, to rent other licenses or services.&lt;br /&gt;
* The rental program is operational, as long as a positive iSC balance is available on the customer account. The rental does terminate immediately when the iSC balance becomes zero. A negative iSC balance is not accepted.&lt;br /&gt;
* Starting 7 weeks before a customer will run out of iSC, a weekly alert email will remind the administrator to recharge the customer account with iSC. This feature has to be activated in the domain settings, &amp;lt;Edit&amp;gt; tab, by entering an email address in the field &amp;lt;E-mail address(es) for warning of rental expiration&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Software Rental Program====&lt;br /&gt;
This program can apply to two different scenarios (with a different pricing):&lt;br /&gt;
* software operated on devices at the customer&#039;s premises.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;This could eventually be the innovaphone PBX software, conferencing licenses, etc. installed on innovaphone hardware (a Gateway, such as IP3011) or a private virtual machine (IPVA) on a customer owned server, typically operated at the customers&#039; location.&lt;br /&gt;
* software operated within the myApps Cloud Service, a cloud platform operated by innovaphone.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In this case an innovaphone PBX software, conferencing licenses, etc. are operated within the innovaphone cloud platform.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Hardware licenses====&lt;br /&gt;
* Eventually needed Hardware licenses (e.g. channel licenses) have to be bound on the specific device in my.innovaphone itself (currently this is not be handled within the Devices App). Those need to be downloaded from my.innovaphone and on the device with the already known methods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Technical aspects====&lt;br /&gt;
The rental duration is calculated on each license or balance change in the domain. Consequently, after each change in the configuration new licenses, with a new duration are transferred to the gateways and also stored in the Devices App itself.&lt;br /&gt;
If the rental expires, the gateway reboots and the licenses are not operational anymore.&lt;br /&gt;
The licenses are also transferred after each reconnect of a gateway to the Devices App.&lt;br /&gt;
 [[Remarks:]]&lt;br /&gt;
 * For license and balance changes, the Devices App must be online and have access to my.innovaphone.com!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====FAQ====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Question:&#039;&#039;&#039; Is it possible to divide a given activation key (e.g. containing 1000 iSC) and charge various customer accounts?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Answer:&#039;&#039;&#039; YES, this is possible!&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Proceed like this:&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;(1) Open [http://my.innovaphone.com my.innpvaphone.com] and click on the &amp;quot;Licenses&amp;quot; tab. Following, select your project.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;(2) Press &amp;quot;Add&amp;quot; and paste the given activation key. Then press &amp;lt;Next&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;(3) The iSC value, contained in the given activation key, is displayed. Press &amp;lt;OK&amp;gt; to bind this iSC value to your own balance.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;(4) Via the tab &amp;quot;Own Activations&amp;quot; followed by &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot;, new activation keys can be created, until the balance is zero.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;(5) For further information, please refer to the article [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference:My_Innovaphone Reference:My Innovaphone].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Activation==&lt;br /&gt;
The procedure for the activation of Software Rental is nearly identical, for both previously mentioned scenarios.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the devices App, select the domain for which rental will be activated.&lt;br /&gt;
* Select the tab “Software Rental”&lt;br /&gt;
* If you already have a my.innovaphone account, please enter username and password, and press &amp;lt;Login&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
In case you do not have a my.innovaphone account, please click on the link to the portal my.innovaphone to create a new account.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you didn&#039;t conclude a software rental contract yet, the Devices App will tell you so and you can conclude such a contract inside the portal my.innovaphone &lt;br /&gt;
* After you have concluded a contract, innovaphone must first approve this contract. If the contract is approved, you will receive an email.&lt;br /&gt;
* Finally, reopen the software rental tab and you will be able to start renting software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Charge iSC Account Balance==&lt;br /&gt;
===Charging manually===&lt;br /&gt;
* Press the button &amp;lt;Charge Balance&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; [[Image:Ref13r1ConceptSwRental Charge01.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Paste the activation-key and press &amp;lt;Check&amp;gt; to verify its validity.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;[[Image:Ref13r1ConceptSwRental_Charge03.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If the activation-key contains the expected iSC value, proceed by charging the value onto your customer account.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; [[Image:Ref13r1ConceptSwRental_Charge04.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The new balance appears in the menu. Eventually prior activated software licenses are deducted immediately.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;[[Image:Ref13r1ConceptSwRental_Charge05.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* An additional information field is indicating the monthly consumption of iSC, based on the rented software licenses (configuration below).&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;In addition, the possible operation period is displayed, calculated on the given iSC balance.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;[[Image:Ref13r1ConceptSwRental_Charge06.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 [[Remarks:]]&lt;br /&gt;
 * The rental costs are deducted in seconds, starting from the moment of activation. If no iSC&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  are loaded into the customer iSC account, the operation of the rented installation will not&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;  initiate or be discontinued automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Charging automatically===&lt;br /&gt;
For the convenience of our users, innovaphone implemented an iSC Reloading Service, which will - when necessary - automatically recharge the balance. In this case, automatically an invoice is being generated and sent to the partner.&lt;br /&gt;
* Details please check: [http://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:V13_Activate_Automatic-iSC-Reloading-Service Howto:V13 Activate Automatic-iSC-Reloading-Service] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Configuration==&lt;br /&gt;
* In the first step, use the drop-down menu, to select the PBX for “software rental” operations, and press &amp;lt;Add to rent&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;[[Image:Ref13r1ConceptSwRental_Config01.pngRef13r1ConceptSwRental_Config01.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Select the required software licenses, jointly with amount of licenses needed (e.g. Port-Lic x 25, UC-Lic x 25, etc.). Beneath each license item, the corresponding charges in iSC per month are displayed. To add this license to the PBX press &amp;lt;Add license&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;[[Image:Ref13r1ConceptSwRental_Config01.pngRef13r1ConceptSwRental_Config03.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The areas and values marked with yellow color indicate the changes, compared to the prior configuration. Thus, it is possible to see the consumption preview per PBX (important, in case there are more than one PBXs) and the total consumption preview for the entire account.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;- Further licenses can be included by pressing &amp;lt;Add license&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;[[Image:Ref13r1ConceptSwRental_Config04.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* To finalize the configuration, when all required software licenses have been configured, press &amp;lt;Apply&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;[[Image:Ref13r1ConceptSwRental_Config05.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please verify, the monthly iSC consumption, for the newly created software renting configuration. To accept and activate the charging of the iSC balance, press &amp;lt;Change with costs&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;[[Image:Ref13r1ConceptSwRental_Config06.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The software configuration of this PBX is activated successfully. The new monthly iSC consumption is displayed, beneath the PBX name.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;The iSC account balance is decreasing, in accordance with the configured iSC charges. The calculation is made on a per second basis.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;[[Image:Ref13r1ConceptSwRental_Config07.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rental history==&lt;br /&gt;
Beside the possibility to download the history through the Devices App UI, there is an [[ Reference13r1:Concept_App_Service_Devices#API_to_download_rental_history|API ]] for automated downloads.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Known Issues==&lt;br /&gt;
===Reinstall of the PBX or Devices App===&lt;br /&gt;
Currently the leased licenses are bound to the PBX only when clicked on the confirmation button &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Chargeable change&amp;quot;/&amp;quot;Kostenpflichtig ändern&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;. If the PBX has to be reinstalled you need to edit rental licenses and then click on this button to load the rental licenses in the PBX again&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===No mixed licenses===&lt;br /&gt;
If you have licenses of different versions you can only use the software of the smallest version. As well please be aware if you have software rental licenses of v13 and the PBX receives from another device v12 licenses that this causes problems. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;__toc__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Applies To=&lt;br /&gt;
This information applies to&lt;br /&gt;
* Howto activate the Automatic iSC Reloading Service (so called Auto-iSC)&lt;br /&gt;
* myApps Cloud v13&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through this service, it is possible to instruct innovaphone to automatically reload your iSC balance, to ensure that always enough iSC are available.&lt;br /&gt;
* The service itself is free of charge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Precondition ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: Auto-iSC_00.png|thumb|upright=1.0|right|Precondition]]An Auto-iSC contract can be created after&lt;br /&gt;
* a hardware- or software rental-contract (or a cloud-contract) was successfully added and accepted by innovaphone and &lt;br /&gt;
* one month worth of iSC was manually placed onto the balance and activated.&lt;br /&gt;
* in the case of on-prem software rental, please be aware, that the installation must be able to establish an Internet connection to innovaphone, in order to work properly. Please check step 5. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;__toc__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Applies To=&lt;br /&gt;
This information applies to&lt;br /&gt;
* Howto connect a 2N Intercom device to a myApps Cloud PBX&lt;br /&gt;
* myApps Cloud v13&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
==The article describes how to configure a 2N Intercom to register and connect to a myApps Cloud PBX==&lt;br /&gt;
For a better overview, the necessary configuration is divided in 2 parts:&lt;br /&gt;
* The first part covers the respective PBX object&lt;br /&gt;
* The second part describes the configuration of the 2N Intercom device.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Disclaimer==&lt;br /&gt;
2N is a 3rd party brand. As such, innovaphone is not liable for any malfunction of the 2N firmware itself, or malfunction caused through or due to changes in the 2N firmware.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Considerations for this example configuration==&lt;br /&gt;
The parameters below are innovaphone default settings. These settings might be different in the specific cloud environment. Thus, please check your documentation and take a note of the corresponding parameters of your specific cloud instance.&lt;br /&gt;
* 2N does not deploy device certificates on its devices. Thus, secure TLS connections to the myApps Cloud platform are not possible.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Due to this reason, this example uses a connection via SIP/TCP.&lt;br /&gt;
* The system name (devices domain name) of the PBX in this example is: company25.org&lt;br /&gt;
* The URL or the respective PBX in this example is: 01234-pbx.innovaphone.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Part 1 - Configuration on the myApps Cloud PBX ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 1 - Setting of the PBX User Object === &lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: inno-PBX-object_01.png|thumb|upright=1.0|right|Part 1, Step 1]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Open the PBX User Object, of the respective 2N Intercom User&lt;br /&gt;
* Define a secure password&lt;br /&gt;
* In the section Devices, please fill the fields as following:&lt;br /&gt;
** TLS only: &#039;off&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** Reverse Proxy: &#039;on&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** Media Relay: &#039;on&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Part 2 - Configuration of the 2N Intercom ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: 2N-IP-Intercom_01a.png|thumb|upright=1.0|right|Part 2, Step 1a]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Prior to proceed with the configuration of the 2N device, please make sure the device contains the most recent Firmware.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 1 - Tab: Services &amp;gt; Phone ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ol type=&amp;quot;a&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt; The basic SIP parameters to register on the PBX&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Phone Number (ID): the PBX extension of the Intercom&lt;br /&gt;
* Domain: The system name (devices domain name) of the PBX&lt;br /&gt;
* Authentication ID: The name of the user object in the PBX&lt;br /&gt;
* Password: The name of the password, defined in the respective user object&lt;br /&gt;
* Proxy Address: The URL of the PBX [[Image: 2N-IP-Intercom_01b.png|thumb|upright=1.0|right|Part 2, Step 1b]]&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;li&amp;gt; In the following, lets SIP Registrar&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Registration Enabled: &#039;on&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Registrar Address: The URL of the PBX&lt;br /&gt;
* Registration State: &#039;REGISTERED&#039; should appear, as soon as the Intercom device successfully registered on the PBX&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image: 2N-IP-Intercom_01c.png|thumb|upright=1.0|right|Part 2, Step 1c]] &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;Configure the Intercom&#039;s public IP address&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* External IP Address: Public IP address, through which the device is reachable.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;background:yellow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;- CLARIFICATION -&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** As 2N Intercom devices do no support STUN, the device itself does not know the public IP address, through which it is reachable. Consequently, to make VoIP communication possible, this address has to be configured on the device.&lt;br /&gt;
** Please make sure, the entered IP address is a fixed, an not a dynamic IP address.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ol&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Step 3 - Tab: Hardware &amp;gt; Buttons ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Here you have to assign the previously defined user to the Intercoms quick dial buttons.&lt;br /&gt;
* Skipping this step, the Intercom will not dial the PBX.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Part 3 - Testing ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Initiate a Test Call to verify your configuration...&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
