Hopefully this is the first of a number of trixbox how-tos. I have started with this one as i followed hundreds of guides, spent hours googling and tried hundreds of configurations until I eventually got it working. In the end it was relatively simple, i was actually trying to enter too much information!
- Before we get started, if you haven’t already, forward port 5060 (TCP & UDP) on your router to your trixbox
- Login to the maintenance area of your trixbox server
- Under the basic heading on the left hand side, select trunks
- Click add sip trunk
- Enter your PSTN phone number assigned by sipgate in the “Outbound Caller ID” field
- “Dial rules” can be configured how you like but a simple example would be 9|. (this will catch everything dialed starting with a 9 and send all the following digits to sipgate
- Within “Outgoing Settings” enter “Trunk Name” something like sipgate
- Then in “Peer Details”
Configuring the SIP Trunk
allow=gsm&alaw&ulaw&g729&slinear
authuser=SIP-ID
canreinvite=yes
context=ext-did
disable=all
dtmfmode=rfc2833
fromdomain=sipgate.co.uk
fromuser=SIP-ID
host=sipgate.co.uk
insecure=very
nat=no
qualify=yes
secret=SIP-PASSWORD
srvlookup=yes
type=friend
username=SIP-ID
- Under the basic heading on the left hand side, select outbound routes
- Click add route
- Enter “Route Name” something like 9_sipgate
- Now in “Dial Patterns” as beforeĀ 9|.
- And in “Trunk Sequence” select SIP/sipgate
- Submit the changes and apply them
Configuring the Outbound Route
- Under the basic heading on the left hand side, select inbound routes
- Click add route
- In “DID Number” enter your SIP-ID
- Then finally “Set Destination”. I’d suggest choosing extension and picking an extension of one of your SIP devices or a softphone
- Submit the changes and apply them
Configuring the Inbound Route
- Access the PBX status screen
- Under Sip registry you should see sipgate.co.uk with state “Registered”
- Under Sip peers you should see sipgate/SIP-ID with status “OK”
- Dial your PSTN phone number assigned by sipgate from a PSTN phone- the extension you configured earlier should ring?
- Dial 910000 from one of your SIP devices or a softphone- you should hear the “welcome to sipgate…” message?
- Good luck! Comment if you have any questions or come across problems.
To check everything is working
Hopefully in the how-tos to come:
- Configuring voipbuster for free outbound calls with trixbox (process should be the same for voipcheap, voipstunt, voipdiscount, internetcalls, netappel, poivy, sparvoip, freecall, sipdiscount, webcalldirect, lowratevoip & probably others)
- Configuring trixbox as a DHCP server
- Flashing CISCO IP Phones with SIP firmware
- Configuring/troubleshooting trixbox IVR setup
