      Note

      Note: Starting from July 1 2021 onward, all PBXs will get a dynamic IP address by default. If you need to reserve static IP for your Cloud PBX, there are several options:

      • Switch to CLASSOUND to provide a more modern service
      • Ask your provider to switch from the IP-based authentication to the password/login one
      • Buy the storage (If you have previously purchased an extra storage, the IP is reserved)


    • x-caracal: tick the option to activate x-caracal ACD stats service on this PBX. Important: make sure you add at least 10 Business/ Premium + 1 Premium licenses on this PBX to be able to activate x-caracal. More information on how to activate x-caracal on the WMS side: x-caracal documentation. Important: x-caracal is supported only on Cloud or Virtual PBXs, Hardware PBXs are not supported. Make sure you have the min. required WMS version
    • MS-PhoneSystem: this is an extension of the teams4Wildix (integration of Microsoft Teams with Wildix PBX). It requires the CLASSOUND service to be activated on the PBX. Important: Make sure you have the min. required WMS version

PBX Activation (Hardware, Virtual PBXs)

Note

Cloud PBXs are automatically activated after they are created in WMP (see chapter Creation of Per User PBX on WMP).


  • Copy PBX key from WMP:
    • Go to the tab PBX per user, select your company, then select the PBX that you have created on step 1

    • Click Copy PBX key to clipboard


...

...

Available repositories for upgrade: 

Warning

Downgrade is not supported!

...

Calls history can be accessed from Collaboration, WP, iOS / Android apps (W-AIR shows only local call history).


Note

Note: It is possible to configure SSL connection for sending CDR data to external MySQL server. See the following guide for instructions: Custom config parameters List: Enable SSL connection to remote MySQL server.

SIP-RTP

Go to WMS Settings -> PBX -> SIP-RTP

...

  • Multisite environment: you need to enable flawless communication between different offices of the company

  • Failover / redundancy or load sharing: one PBX is the primary, another PBX is the secondary (backup PBX), which works in idle mode and receives all the updates from the primary PBX; in case of the primary PBX failure, the secondary PBX takes on, ensuring the continuity of the service. In this case all the devices have a double SIP registration (both to the Primary and the Secondary PBX). Read the guide: Failover Guide.

Wildix system supports Hybrid scenarios, where Hardware, Cloud and Virtual PBXs can be connected in the same WMS Network.

...

Note

Call classes can be set for Contacts in Collaboration -> Phonebook, more information in Collaboration user guide (Phonebook chapter): Collaboration 5.0X / Collaboration 4.0X.

It is also possible to set the call class via Dialplan applications Set / Jump to if call type is, more information in Dialplan applications guide: Dialplan applications Admin Guide.
