Upgrading PBXACT from 15 to 17

I’m simulating a PBXACT (not FreePBX) upgrade from V15 to V17

First of all I got current PBXACT backup file.

Installing Debian12 on new machine and run the installation script as per https://sangomakb.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PP/pages/401276965/PBX+Platforms+-+Upgrade+to+PBXact+17#How-to-upgrade-to-PBXact-17 is straightforward.

Anyway it ends with a fresh FREEPBX (not PBXACT) machine.

I have no way at the moment to activate the new deployment (move it from the running pbx to the test one) so I restored the backup anyway to see what it happens.

After restore is completed I have however a FREEPBX system (and interface) with old PBXACT configuration.

All sip trunks have been converted to chan-pjsip, (will they run ok on real life ?)

I find “extension” menu under “connectivity” rather than “applications” , is it a fault ?

So the question is: will the restore bring back all things OK when done after system activation with original deployment ?

Thanks

PBXact branding and layout, as well as access to the commercial modules, will happen when you activate the new machine with the PBXact Deployment ID. chan_pjsip may be using a different port to chan_sip, you can test this with FreePBX though. Extensions has been moved to Connectivity in v17.
