HOW IT WORKS

The image above demonstrates how the 3CX SBC works with SBC failover setup. In this example, 3CX Phone System is on IP Address 10.0.0.181, and listens on TCP port 5090 (by default) for incoming Tunnel traffic. We must set up a single Port Forwarding rule on the NAT/Firewall Device, telling it that all incoming TCP and UDP traffic received on port 5090 should be delivered to LAN IP Address 10.0.0.181.

The remote setup is shown on the left hand side of the cloud. In this example, the machine with IP address of 192.168.0.1 has the VoIP Phone. On auto provision set up We will need to tell the VoIP Phone the public IP address of the PBX Server (which in this case is 213.165.190.51), and also SBC Local Virtual IP address of the SBC Server (which in this case is 192.168.0.1). There will be need 2 local IP address 1 for SBC1(92.168.0.2) & Another one for SBC2(192.168.0.3). Also we used virtual IP 192.168.0.1 to configure the failover setup. Since the 3CX app will by default use the standard port numbers used by 3CX, typically no further configuration is necessary.

The 3CX SBC can be used in the following scenarios:
