This Guide describes how to install and set-up the Stentofon PhoneApplicationServer together with Cisco phones.

Prerequisites for PhoneApplicationServer with a Cisco Call Manager:

Standard installation of prerequisites

The PhoneApplicationServer should be able to run in different Windows environments (XP, Vista, Windows Server etc), and with different version of the IIS and MSSQL).
Also a remote MSSQL server connection should be possible. Below is step-by-step guide for setting up the prerequisites on a Windows XP, with the bundled IIS and a fresh install of MSSQL Express 2008. In general this setup, and maintenance of the PhoneApplicationServer, will requires some "IT-knowledge".

IIS and MSSQL Express on Windows XP

  • Under the Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs selelct the Add/Remove Windows Components. Select Internet Information Services (IIS), and follow the standard setup.
  • From the SQL Express 2008 download page select the Runtime with Management Tools install. Following the standard installation routine. In the final steps of installation select Windows Authentication Mode when prompted.

Installation of the PhoneApplicationServer

  • Run the latest AlphaPhoneApplicationServerSetup.msi installer. If .NET 3.5 not already installed the installer will prompt for download and installation of the .NET framework.
  • The PhoneApplicationServer will be added to the All Programs Menu under STENTOFON / AlphaCom Phone Application Server

Initializing the MSSQL Database table and Configure the ALphaCom connection

The PhoneApplicationServer operates by default on a MSSQL table called AlphaComStateDB, and uses Integrated Security to access the table (meaning the credential of the user running the application) The PhoneApplicationServer will create a new table in the database if it do not exist.

PhoneAppServer Database Table Created
  • Start the PhoneApplicationServer for the first time. After a short while it will report that it is not able to connect to the AlphaComStateDB table. Push the Create MSSQL Database button, and get a confirmation that the database is successfully created


PhoneAppServer No AlphaCom Connection
  • Restart the Application. Now PhoneApplicationServer will be able to connect to the database at start-up, but will probably fail to connect to the default AlphaCom IP address stored in the database


PhoneAppServer Connected to AlphaCom
  • Store a valid AlphaCom IP address and restart the application. The PhoneApplicationServer should now connect to the AlphaCom, and discover all nodes in the AlphaNet:
