SIP - Trunk

First of all the SIP Trunk must be configured. Since SilverServer authenticates an user account by IP - Address and additionally by registration, so you must use the normal SIP-Interface and also a Gateway - Interface without registration.

Outgoing calls to the SIP provider must be sent via the SIP - Interface.

A important setting is to change the SIP Interop Tweak 'From Header when Sending INVITE' to CGPN in user part of URI and Identity Header when Sending INVITE to 'Fixed AOR'. You have to do this, because SilverServer does not read the Preferred identity header information but looks directly in the FROM header for DDI information.

Since no NAT - detection is performed by the provider, 'Media-Relay' must be activated and a STUN server entry must be made, when the PBX is in a private IP - network - behind a NAT router. The NAT router must be STUN capable.

The 'Gateway without registration' interface is needed to route the calls to the PBX.

Again, the interface settings are done similar to the SIP interface. Most important is that, 'Media-Relay' must be activated and a STUN server entry must be made, when the PBX is in a private IP - network - behind a NAT router. The Gateway interface must have the 'Local Domain' configured with the public IP - address of the customer NAT - router.

The calls are sent and received from different servers on Silverserver site. As a result, you will have a different entry as 'AOR'/'Remote Domain' on the SIP interface compared to the 'Gateway without registration' interface.

Number Mapping

The complicated part on this issue is the correct mapping of the outgoing and incoming numbers.

Route Settings

Because SilverServer, as most SIP - Providers too, doesn't support overlap sending, you must enable the block-wise sending of the phone number. You can do this by enabling Force enblock in your routes.

The second setting you can check is 'Interworking(QSIG,SIP)'. When enabling this feature, you will hear the MoH offered by the provider. If 'Interworking(QSIG,SIP)' is disabled, a 'Call Hold' will not be forwarded to the provider. As a result, you will hear in this case the MoH provided by the PBX. It is recommended to leave the 'Interworking(QSIG,SIP)' unchecked, as shown in the screenshot below.

Now the PBX and the phones are setup correctly. You should be able to make call in both directions and send and receive fax messages.
