Make PhoneSystem available from outside/not localhost

[FHD-MF]

I'm currently working on an C# extension for our on premise 3CX. I'm currently trying to make the ports (5482, 5432 and 5485) used for communicating with the 3cx available for outside connections. I already whitelisted my ip in the nftables configuration but it seems like the 3CX only listens on localhost connections.
I spotted an configuration file in

/usr/share/3cxpbx/skel/Bin/

and changed

pbxSLNIC=127.0.0.1
confNIC=127.0.0.1

to

pbxSLNIC=0.0.0.0
confNIC=0.0.0.0

with the result that the 3cx dosn't start.

You should not modify those files.

Not sure what you're trying to access but if 3CX locks it to localhost, leave it that way.

If you're trying to access the database: big no no.

Basically executing this script https://www.3cx.com/blog/releases/v20-call-control-api/ from another device than the 3cx itself

There are many scripts. You cannot run the Call Control from a different machine. It HAS to be local to the system.

However, you can build your own REST API around it and expose that instead of a separate port.

Yes I know that there are many scripts, it was just an example.
Thanks for your information, it really helped me
