New starter unable to get 3CX Assistant working.

[craigray]

Hi,
I am a new starter with 3CX. Have the beginnings of the system installed and phone calls happening. I have been working on two issues that I have not been able to get working correctly, provisioning of the phones from the 3CX Phone System (I am doing all manually at the moment.) The second is getting the 3CX Assistant to work. As they seem to be related, I am tackling the second fault first in the hopes it will help me bring a solution to both issues.

System Details:

3CX Phone System V10 on Windows 2003-R2 using Abyss web server.

All of the phones are CISCO SPA501G except one CISCO SPA502G with sidecar.

I have setup the Assistant provisioning URL as:

http://172.16.100.103:5000/provisioning/$MA.xml

but get a failed to connect to server error message every time. If I enter the following URL into a browser the system returns the XML file.

http://172.16.100.103:5000/provisioning/E05FB9817838.xml

All firewalls on the server and the local client are turned OFF for testing purposes.

Any help in a solution would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Craig

Hi,

If you are running 3CX V10 then the 3CX Assistant will not work. You will need to use the 3CX MyPhone (Replacement)

You will not be able to browse http://172.16.100.103:5000/provisioning/$MA.xml via internet explorer as the $MA.xml is a variable which is completed on the fly with the mac address of the phone.

Thanks Dave,
That was the missing piece of information. And I just worked out how to install the MyPhone so it is not web-based. and I did manage to get the provisioning of phones URL in the DHCP server working correctly, so all is now good.
