When using CXD, there is no need to configure the SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording) output on the 3CX phone system as CXD operates independently and uses the live event data, simplifying the setup process.
Pre-installation requirements
You need to have the information below and at least 124.1 MB of disk space in order to complete the installation of CXD:
- IP address of the 3CX phone system
- Primary/route account username (SSH access)
- Password for Primary account
Once, you have this, our support team will be able to remotely configure CXD and set up event logging for you.
NOTE: CXD does not alter the configuration of the phone system itself; it only uses the information to establish the connection to collect live events.
Getting CXD
Please submit a support ticket through our online Gateway or send an email to [email protected] to request a copy of the 3CX CXD Server. To guarantee that the 3CX live events are appropriately captured and linked with TIM Enterprise, the support team will need to help with the CXD server installation.
We offer versions for Linux and Windows. The version needed will be determined by where the 3CX is installed. If you're installing on your 3CX server, you must install the Linux version; if you're installing on a TIM server, you must install the Windows version.
NOTE: 3CX CXD server is a 64-Bit application
