Limitations of 3CX Phone System Beta

  • Missed Call to a ring group does not generate a missed call notification in 3CX MyPhone, nor an email.
  • When a call is made from A to B, transferred to C and disconnected before C answers, a missed call will not be displayed on C.
  • Calls made from 3CX MyPhone are shown as answered even if call is not answered at the final destination.
  • The following sections are not available in the 3CX Management Console when accessed via Google Chrome Browser:
    • Edit Templates
    • Phone Provisioning templates (will be seen as grayed out).
  • If 3CX Phone System is installed on a computer that has Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 installed, 3CX MyPhone will not work.
  • 3CX Web Reports: When an external call is incoming to the PBX and forwarded to an extension that is away and forwarding to a mobile, the call will show the correct source and destination but the cost will be 0 for the outbound leg.
  • Incoming Faxes with Broadvox is not working. We have raised a support ticket with Broadvox for analysis.

Installing 3CX Phone System 11 Beta

Since we are still in Beta stage, in order to update from 3CX Phone System 10 or version 11 Beta 1, a full reinstall is required. The following steps are required:

  1. Take a complete backup of your 3CX Phone System 10 or 11 Beta 1 installation using the 3CX Backup and Restore tool (Start > All Programs > 3CX Phone System > 3CX Backup and Restore Tool). Note - this might take some time depending on the amount of voice mails, recordings and call history records.
  2. NOTE: If you have a lot of voice mails and recordings, it is recommended to take a backup of these manually and exclude backing them up from the 3CX Backup and Restore. This will save a lot of time during the upgrade.
  3. Uninstall 3CX Phone System 10 or 11 Beta 1.
  4. Download and install 3CX Phone System 11 Beta 2.
  5. Restore your backup when prompted via the 3CX Wizard.
