Prerequisites #
Before installing the 3CX Survey Creator, you need to ensure that your computer meets the minimum requirements mentioned below:
PREREQUISITE | PURPOSE |
---|---|
3CX Version V20 | 3CX Survey Creator is designed to work seamlessly with this version for enhanced features and performance. |
Windows 10 or above / Windows Server 2012 or above | These operating systems provide the necessary environment for the application to run efficiently. |
IIS Features and Configuration – VoIPTools | IIS is needed as a web server to host and manage web-based applications and services. |
.NET Framework 4.7.2 (Web Installer) | This framework provides essential components for running and developing applications. |
VoIPTools Universal Updater | This component is necessary for updates, ensuring the application remains current and functional. |
VoIPTools Relay Service | It is used for proper integration and functionality of the 3CX Survey Creator within the 3CX environment. |
Microsoft SQL Server 2016 or above (Including the free SQL Express edition) | 3CX requires Microsoft SQL Server 2016 or later for database management. |
Static IP for VoIPTools and 3CX servers | This is to ensure proper two-way communication, both the 3CX server (Relay) and the VoIPTools server. Dynamically assigned IP addresses are not supported.

Port number 5700 opened on your device | Port 5700 is a specific network port used by 3CX for communication purposes. Opening this port on the device’s firewall allows incoming and outgoing traffic to pass through, enabling the 3CX software to send and receive data over the network effectively. |

Do not include https:// to the Relay host data.
- Enter 8801 in the Relay Port field.
- Enter the public key you copied from VoIPTools Relay services in the Public Key text field.
- Click the Test Relay Settings to confirm that ‘3CX Survey Creator’ can communicate with the Relay services running on the 3CX server.

Step 5: Configure the database #
When configuring the 3CX Survey Creator, select an existing Microsoft SQL Server instance in your environment. The database server can be a remote SQL Server, or a local instance running on the VoIPTools server.
You can set up the SQL database using SQL Authentication or Windows Integrated Authentication.
SQL Authentication #
- Enter your server name in the Server field.
- If using the free SQL Express Edition, the default SQL Instance name is SQLExpress.
NOTE:
- If you want to use ‘SQL Authentication’, then install SQL Server in ‘Mixed‘ mode.
- If SQL Server is installed on a server other than the server where 3CX Exporter is installed, you will need to configure SQL Server to allow remote connections.
- Enter your credentials in the Username and Password fields.
NOTE:
Make sure that you select a SQL Login that has sufficient permissions to alter the database and create SQL objects.

Windows Integrated Authentication #

- In the Test SQL Connection section, click the Tool button to test the connection.
- Click the Next button which gets enabled when the database connection is successful.
- Click the CFD button to confirm the 3CX connectivity with SQL Server and click OK on the Test Results message box.
- Click OK on the Test Results dialogue box.
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”.
