Problem Details
Setting up various PBX for many customers using only one AP
System Requirements
Virtual Machines (HyperV, VMWare) or Physical Devices with SSD.
Installation
Setup your first PBX with Application Platform as usual.
In my case I used:
PBX Name: hq
System Name: world.local
DNS PBX: hq.world.local
DNS App Platform: apps.world.local
Configuration
1. Now you install a second PBX. Every customer receives his own Master PBX.
Therefore choose either "Do manual configuration" or "Update and network settings only"
In my case I used:
PBX Name: stuttgart
System Name: europe.local
DNS PBX: stuttgart.europe.local
2. Log into your first PBX (hq.world.local) and open Devices. Add Customer Domain (stuttgart.europe.local). Choose a password (will be used as admin password).
3. Connect to your new PBX (stuttgart.europe.local). Insert Device Registration URL
4. Go back to your main PBX (hq.world.local). Open Devices App. You see the MAC of your new device
4. Assign category to device
5. Set redirection from PBX Advanced GUI to myApps Therefore go to your new PBX. Afterwards if you insert your DNS you get redirected to myApps directly.
6. Admin User auf PBX anlegen
7. Log into myApps
Therefore use your new DNS. In my case stuttgart.europe.local
8. Connect App Platform. SMTP has to be configured. Please use HTTPS.
Open PBX Manager
Add App Platform. Use Host of your AP Platform.
Now you can see in your Apps App that the Domain is registered:
9. Create Devices instance and connect Devices and Devices API to instance
Create a second Device Instance
Start second Device Instance
Create App Devices and DevicesApi
10. Create App instances inside App Platform for every client
11. Create Apps with PBX Manager inside Customer PBX
12. Create templates (Admin and User) with Visibility, Apps and Licenses.
13. Configure Device/PBX
You can open an App via your Apps App
