	76	+In order to set up a remote PBX connection, with the iSymphony Server, you need to configure the iSymphony Server with the connection information of the PBX.

The additional connection information, in the FreePBX module, will allow the module to synchronize the configuration, between FreePBX and the iSymphony Server.
