It is important to open up the firewall port for the connection to happen. If this is not done, you may experience connection issues.

I changed to the IP address before I sent the email (my mistake) and the result is the same. I’m using port 9000.
Any tool I can use to troubleshoot this issue? We have connectivity to the PBX because we copy recording files on a daily basis for archiving purposes.

The host address drop-down contains a list of addresses that your 3CX can bind to. Choose one that will be accessible by the computer running TIM Plus. The port is the port that the 3CX will listen for connections on.
In the connection settings of TIM Plus, enter the address that your 3CX is bound to, as well as the same port you configured on your 3CX (above).

Firewall
Ensure that any firewalls on the 3CX and on the computer running TIM Plus allow traffic on the selected port.
In order to test whether the connection is working, use `telnet`:

If you don't have the Telnet client on your computer, could you try opening a command prompt and seeing if you get a connection through that?
`telnet 13.82.**.*** 9000`
If Telnet is not installed and you are not able to you can add it through the the Optional Features setting setting in Windows, there should be a tool called .

Please let me know how it worked out with the IPTester tool.
If that cannot connect to your PBX, then TIM Plus won't be able to either.
Then you need to look at things like firewalls, IP restrictions, etc.
7. Customer response
I used the IPTester you suggested and found my problem. I had to open up the firewall port for the connection to happen.
SOLUTION: Once the firewall port was opened, the issue was resolved.
