- On the “Select Components” section please leave everything as default and click 'Next'.

Username = username used to connect to the 3CX
Password = password user to connect to the 3CX - Once this has been configured, please click 'Next'. If successful, CXD will attempt to establish a connection to the 3CX. Please note that an account that has SSH permission will be needed in order to connect successfully.
