Toplink DCIM for Mofang Finance
Selling servers with Mofang Finance and running your data center with Toplink DCIM? Install the server module and ordering, provisioning, self-service, renewal and suspension run automatically end to end.
Key capabilities
- 01
Provisioned on payment
When a customer pays, a server is allocated from DCIM, the OS is installed and the IP and password are filled back.
- 02
Bind existing servers
If a machine is already prepared in DCIM, enter its server ID to bind it to the order.
- 03
Client-area self-service
Customers power servers on and off, reinstall, open VNC and view hardware and traffic, each permission controllable.
- 04
Renewals and cancellations
Overdue servers are shut down and disconnected and restored on renewal; cancellation unbinds the server and frees its IPs.
Who it is for
Providers that sell dedicated servers through Mofang Finance (魔方财务), a billing platform widely used by Chinese hosting companies, and manage their data centers with Toplink DCIM. The connection uses the “TopLink DCIM” server module for Mofang Finance.
Four things to check first
| Check | How |
|---|---|
| DCIM has a user group | Users → User groups in the admin panel is not empty |
| DCIM has a data center and plans | Required for automatic provisioning |
| Servers for sale are installed, have IPs and are healthy | The server detail page shows its ID and IPs |
| The Mofang site can reach DCIM | DNS, firewall and certificates are all in place |
The user group comes first: when Mofang Finance sells a server, a matching account is created for the customer in DCIM, using DCIM’s default user group.
How to connect
- In DCIM: confirm the user group, then create an API key for Mofang Finance under Settings → System API, optionally whitelisting the Mofang site’s outbound IP;
- In Mofang Finance: install the plugin, add the interface and test the connection;
- Products: create product groups and products and enable automatic provisioning;
- Acceptance: place a test order and confirm allocation, OS installation and the returned details.
What customers can do in the client area
Customers manage their servers from the Mofang Finance client area: power on and off, reinstall the OS, open the VNC remote console, and view hardware and traffic. Each self-service permission can be switched on or off by the provider.
Service status stays in sync
- Not renewed on time: the server is shut down and disconnected;
- Renewed: the server is restored automatically;
- Cancelled: the server is unbound and its IPs are released.

FAQ
What do I need before connecting?
DCIM needs a user group, a data center and plans, with the servers for sale installed and assigned IPs. The Mofang Finance site must be able to reach DCIM.
How do I sell servers already prepared in DCIM?
An administrator enters the server's DCIM ID on the order to bind it directly, without provisioning it again.
What happens when a customer is overdue?
The server is shut down and disconnected automatically and restored when the customer renews. On cancellation the server is unbound and its IPs are released.
