Core Servers are utilized to identify a physical organization and have separate configuration from other Core Server instances. Core Servers are analogous to Locations in iSymphony 2.x.x but can support multiple PBX Connections. On first installation there will be one Core Server called default. Most users will never utilize more than the one default Core Server however users who wish to host multiple customers or utilize multi-tenancy on a single iSymphony server instance will want to create multiple Core Server instances.

When there are multiple Core Servers configured users must login in a specific way in order to specify which Core Server they wish to login to. See Connecting To The Client Interface for more information on the login procedure when multiple Core Servers defined.

Administrators can use the Current Server list in the top right hand corner of the Administration Interface to select the Core Server that you want to manage.

You can only view a Core Server configuration if you are a Super Administrator or you have been granted access by a Super Administrator. See Administrators for more information.
