What if you have branches in remote areas that need to connect to a remote 3CX but these remote branches have IP phones merely connected to an FTTH by ethernet Each branch has just one IP phone so buying a router phone for each will be costly There also aren’t computers in every branch to install an SBC on each, also the FTTH router uses DHCP for each branch Will there be a solution around this or I might’ve to consider revoking my license?
Greetings, and thanks for the comment! You will need to assign the device/machine running the 3CX SBC a Private (RFC1918) Static IP. This machine must be running all the time otherwise the phones connected to it will no longer function, at least until the machine starts up again.
So, we have to set up an additional server just to run SBC on 3CX now? Or is this a guide on how to reinstall our PBX entirely but include the SBC option?
The 3CX Server does not include an SBC service. This guide is for installing an SBC on a VM or hardware in your network. If your 3CX server is not local to your phones, an SBC can be used to bypass firewall issues and prevent the use of “Direct SIP, STUN”. An alternative to an SBC are router phones which can act as an SBC. I hope this answers your questions.
Thanks for the helpful video as well

3cx sbc must use internet static ip, right?
