SIP trunking using extensions

[Carlos Montemayor]

Hi,

 

I just came across a scenario where it would come handy to have a CPE PBX using a sip trunk from a hosted pbx. It seems to be pretty simple and I successfully configured that using a 5.2.2 version for both pbx (the hosted one and the CPE one), however,when I tried to do it with a CPE that is a snom mini version 4.5.1, I could not make it to work. Registration is done with no problems but the calls cannot go through. I am getting a Forbidden message. Everything else is being held the same, I mean, in both scenarios I am using the same final trunk, same phone and same dial plan.

 

Is there something that I should adjust? Actually, where I really need to do the sip trunking is in the snom mini 4.5.1 (it is with an actual customer), and the CPE with the 5.2.2 version is in my lab (where it worked nicely).

 

Regards,

if your trying to call into the mini the best case scenario is to create an extension on 5.2.2 and register it on the 4.5.1 as a registration trunk and have the call go to an AA, HG or AG you can specify this under the "Destination for incoming calls" under the trunk settings. I personally would use an AA so you can dial any extension on the system.

Thanks for the prompt response. The scenario is perhaps an easier one. I would like to allow for outbound calls from the mini into the 5.2.2 using a final trunk that is at the 5.2.2. I already created the extension at the 5.2.2 an in the 4.5.1 I created a trunk that registered as that extension in the 5.2.2, however, when calls are made in the 4.5.1 the phones get a "Forbidden" message.

Does the call even leave the 4.5.1 PBX? Otherwise, you might need to think about inter-office trunks. This way, you can route calls through the PBX without involving extensions.

I got it!

 

It had to do with digit presentation. Once I chose the right combination of "how to rewrite global numbers" and source of caller ID (from, or p-asserted) it started to work fine. I was getting confused because 4.5.1 and 5.2.2 have different presentations of those options.

 

Cheers!
