Name : Happy Auto Attendant Selected the newly created dial plan : Happy Dial Plan Then click on Extension Number : Type 3 digit number, I have selected 600 then click on Add. Tips: Before you configure Unified Messaging plan it properly like how many digit extension you require and which are the auto set number you will have. Dont forget to have a copy of standard digit method like setting number 9 for external call, setting 0 for calling receptionist extension and make sure you are not using any emergency dial number like 100, 101 etc. Once you set the information click on New, then it will complete the process and then click on finish Figure 8:

I followed the above step for smile user as well. Happy User Extension is 301 Smile User Extension is 302. We are done with Exchange Server. Now we need to configure the IP/PBx device to communicate with our Exchange Server. Configuring IP/PBX: Installed 3cxPhone System During installation it will ask for an account that can access the configuration part, my suggestion would be create a separate account. It will ask for FQDN for PBX Server, during this time give the fqdn name as : pbx.happy.com Note : Dont try to test this software on the same system where you have exchange server installed because both i.e Unified Messaging Server and 3cx require to communicate on 5060 Port. Click on Start => Programs => 3cx Phone System => Management Console, it will display the below browser Figure 14:

I hope this article is being very informative to you all and you all enjoyed it I guess. Thanks Giving: There are many guys and vendors are involved inorder to publish this article and of course without them I wont get an oppurunity to publish it. Their help directly or indirectly was tremendous. 1) Microsoft, 3cx Phone System and X-Lite because without them i won't be able to publish this article, their invention is just amazing. 2) Ryan Newington : He is the guy for me a moral support who made me believe that in VMware also it is possible and helped me for answering my queries. He has made an excellent article on configuring unified messaging keeping the Centos (Linux) as PBX device. Thanks Ryan for your wonderful article. 3) My unisys team member : My other team member from whom I took assistance for configuring IP/PBX in linux Centos are Reddy, Jakki Reddy Ganesh & Angiya, Gopinath Subramanian because without them I cant be able configure PBX in my linux box, it was unsuccessful for me which is a different story but I came toknow about some of the basic commands. Thanks dude 4) Finally I was able to configure Unified Messaging PBX software in my windows OS and for searching out the best software, one of our v-9 guy helped me and also clearing out some of the queries hey v-9 do you know who is that Kochhar guy, he is none other then Kochhar, Rahul Rajesh. Without him it might take long time to search and hunt on which software can be used for demo purpose. Thanks a lot Rahul for small time effort which is most valuable for us. Thanks to all of you once again for helping me out.

Another machine which has Windows 2003 SP2 and IIS + Asp .Net installed. I tried installing the same with the included cassini web server too. In both cases it gives the same error of starting 3cxAssistantServer and 3CXVBoxMgr. I tried the legacy version of 3cx server but it too fails. There are no services control manager events too logged on this machine so as to enable the dubugging on this machine. While I try to start the service from the Web Console it does gives An exception occurred RestartService Error: Cannot start service 3cxVBoxMgr on computer '.'. Any kind of help would be appreciated.
