Figure 14: Test Relay services

NOTE:

If the test was unsuccessful: 

  • confirm you have the correct firewall port open (default TCP 8801) on the 3CX server and the firewall protecting the 3CX server.
  • confirm that you have entered the correct FQDN for the 3CX server.
  • confirm that 3CX Profile Manager and the Relay are using the same port and protocol.

Step 5: Configure the database #

When configuring 3CX Profile Manager, select an existing Microsoft SQL Server instance in your environment.  The database server can be a remote SQL Server (How-to configure SQL Server to permit remote connections), or a local instance running on the VoIPTools server.

  1. On the SQL Database window, in the Server field, select the desired instance of SQL Server

NOTE:

We encourage you to use SQL Authentication rather than Windows authentication.  Many of our tools leverage a Call Flow Designer (CFD) application running on the 3CX.  Frequently our CFD applications require access to a SQL database.  If the 3CX server and the database server are not in an Active Directory domain, Windows authentication will fail.  To use SQL authentication, your SQL Server must be configured to run in “Mixed Mode”.  If you installed SQL Server with one of our tools, we configure SQL in “Mixed Mode”.

  1. To use SQL Authentication, be sure to uncheck the Trusted Connection checkbox.
  2. In the Username and Password fields, enter valid SQL login account credentials
Figure 15: Configure Database
  1. To use Windows Integrated Authentication (not recommended), check the Trusted Connection (Windows integrated authentication) checkbox.
  2. In the Database field, the installer will automatically display the default database name.  We encourage you to use the default name.  If you are upgrading or reinstalling 3CX Profile Manager, select the existing database name from the list.
  3. Click the Test Sql Connection button to confirm connectivity to SQL Server and then click Next to continue.
Figure 16: Test SQL Connection

Step 6: Installing 3CX Profile Manager #

  1. In the Ready to Install window, click Install to start the installation of the ‘3CX Profile Manager’.

Figure 19: Installation Complete

Step 7: Register your Software #

  2. In the Login page, log in with your credentials.
  3. Click the License tab and enter registration information.
