SIP Trunk Peer details options
The very first step to creating your trunk in your PBX is to create your SIP Trunk in your user portal. A SIP trunk can be created in seconds with the IP whitelisted and ready to go with the click of a mouse.
SIP Trunk Peer details are an integral part of your SIP communications. In many cases Peer details will differ from device to device. One of the more popular questions that comes up is the Asterisk SIP peer details and how to configure it in FreePBX and in Asterisk sip.conf
Let’s break down a few settings and what they are used for.
General Settings: You can name this a friendly name. For example Trunk Name = SBC.QuestBlue.com
Dialed Number Manipulation Rules
1+NXXNXXXXXX If you dial without the 1, it will append it.
1NXXNXXXXXX If you dial with the 1, there is nothing to append and it will send the call as is.
1603NXXXXXX This is an example if you live in area code 603 and only dial 7 digits. It will append the 1603 to the NXXXXXX and produce the 11 digits needed to make your call to QuestBlue while only having to dial 7 digits.
For more clarification N is any digit from 2-9 where X is any digit from 0-9
SIP Trunk Peer Details
type = peer
host = sbc.questblue.com
fromdomain = sbc.questblue.com
insecure = invite,port
context = from-trunk
qualify = yes
dtmfmode = rfc2833
nat = (based on your installation) yes or no. Is your PBX on a private IP? = Yes
session-timers = refuse
If you are working in Asterisk directly in a configure file it may look like this:
In sip.conf
[questblue]
type=peer
host=sbc.questblue.com
fromdomain=sbc.questblue.com
insecure=invite,port
context=questblue-incoming
qualify=yes
dtmfmode=rfc2833
nat=no
In extensions.conf
[questblue-incoming]
; Make sure to include inbound prior to outbound because the _NXXNXXXXXX handler will match the incoming call and create a loop
include => questblue-inbound
include => questblue-outbound
[questblue-inbound]
exten => 5553334444,1,Answer() ;your DID 5553334444 Being your DID
[questblue-outbound]
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(all)=)
