The PBXware can be installed by one of the four following installation methods:
CD ROM installation method is used to install the PBXware onto a commodity PC/server hardware. The installation process installs a Linux operating system, PBXware and all other necessary applications onto the system hard drive. Installation is easy, fast and includes everything needed to successfully install and operate.
WARNING:
CDROM will install the PBXware on hard disk and will erase all existing data, operating system and other files.
Tarball is a Linux executable file that can be installed on most Linux distributions. This installation method is used where the system already has a Linux operating system installed possibly with other applications already installed and actively used hence the overwrite of the hard disk is not an option. Good examples are: hosted servers in data center, low usage servers, spare configured servers etc.
Virtual private servers (VPS) technology allows a physical host to be partioned into many "virtual servers" from which PBXware will operate normaly with all features and functions as it were installed and operating from the host server.
Often referred to as a "runtime environment". VMware virtual machine is a machine completely defined and implemented in software rather than hardware. This method is suitable for testing of up to 3 extensions since the virtual machine technology performance is limited.
Any of the above formats will boot the machine and all necessary software allowing administrator to login with browser into this machine. The Administrator can then license the system by entering the licence number. The system will contact our licensing server for authorization. Upon successful licensing, systems can be used normally by logging into the system.
