Warning

Important notes:

  • PBX will not be reachable for up to 20 minutes, during which the DNS record will be updated (the migration time depends on the migrated DB size), remember to update/remove any local DNS proxies; phones/media gateways must use the DNS name for provisioning or they will not switch automatically to the Cloud PBX

  1. Access WMP using your credentials
  2. Select your company and your customer
  3. Click Options button (Three dots) and select Edit
  4. Click Advanced features
  5. Click Migrate to new WCloud PBX
