    I have installed SBC on a fully up to date windows 10 machine with firewall turned off.

    ports 5060 and 5090 are forwarded to that machine.

    the network check on the cloud installation of 3CX finds everything is fine.

    the fqdn of my cloud 3CX server returns the right address to nslookup. all 3CX software is latest versions downloaded in the last 4 days (since I started to set the system up).

    yet SBC service on my local LAN refuses to start. this is the (verbose) log file. does anyone have any instant suggestions? I apologise in advance for what is probably a newbie error - but neither google nor some hours of experimenting have fixed it!

    Start with you do not need any portforwarding for the SBC setup on the router protecting the SBC - so remove these settings.

    On the local IP address have you specified the Win 10 IP address https://www.3cx.com/docs/3cx-sbc-windows/

    Do you have any other software running on port 5060

    Thank you. That is really helpful - I should have been able to work out that I didn't need port forwarding.

    No other software running on 5060. the SBC is on my local LAN (10.*); 3CX is in the cloud. I found the documentation unclear as to whether one needed the local IP address in the SBC config file to be of the SBC server or of the cloud 3CX on its remote cloud LAN.

    Definitely getting much further now. SBC runs - just having an issue getting packets read.

    simonog, now you need to look into 3CXTunnel.log at PBX side to see why connection breaks.

    Thank you.

    Is there a way to pull the log from the dashboard? I installed the cloud image on Amazon direct from the excellent 3cx website instructions and set it all up (and it works fine with mobile clients).

    I made the assumption it installed a windows environment and now suspect it's Linux. If so, can anyone kindly point me to something that says where 3cx stores its tunnel log and how I find it if I can't get it from the dashboard?

    On Windows, it's in c:\ProgramData\3CX\Instance1\Data\Logs folder (or whatever the system drive is). You should be able to connect via RDP.
    On Linux, you need to use any SSH client to connect. Logs are in /var/lib/3cxpbx/Instance1/Data/Logs

    Thank you for the locations - I couldn't find that documented anywhere.

    I used the 3cx provided setup procedure for an amazon instance. it gave me no choice of platform - does it use windows or Linux?

    It should be Linux.

    Seems to be Debian Linux thank you. This is the last section of the tunnel log file. Is it clear from here why the SBC session is dropping? I noticed the comment about passwords mismatch yet I cut and pasted the password from the 3cx dashboard into the local sbc conf file.

    Tunnel connection authentication failed! Passwords mismatch. identifying as '3CXSBC15.5.7503'(123456)

    Make sure that password set in the Settings/Security/3CXTunnel matches one specified in the SBC config.

    when I set up SBC on the local machine I copied and pasted the password from the 3cx dashboard settings - security settings - 3cx tunnel into the conf file.
    Is that the right place or do I need to change something else?

    Manually type the password, as copy and paste may copy hidden / special characters

    Just done and there is no difference. it still fails the same way.

    I did try to turn off encryption too as that was a problem last year I see. also no difference.

    both 3cx and sbc were downloaded a week ago a day apart so I am assuming there were no incompatibilities between them :(

    I thought I would try to change the password in both places in case in some way the 3cx version is corrupted. Once I had changed the password, the tunnel connected properly.

    Clearly there was some character in the password on 3cx which was not displaying.

    Now the phones register and I can call a deskphone on the remote LAN from the 3cx client on a mobile. interestingly, however, I get this in the sbc log:
    ERR | 20180402-172622.177 | 3CXTunnel | TUNL | 9912 | Bridge.cpp:712 | Has no registered RTP session for local destination 10.0.0.37:10007
    (repeated another 3 times for a single call).

    This is a series of little hurdles isn't it? :)
