SIP Trunks Guide

SIP trunks are a VoIP service that can be provided from an ITSP (Internet Telephony Service Provider) to extend telephony
features beyond IPPBX local area. SIP trunks can carry voice calls, video calls, instant messages, multimedia conferences, and
other SIP-based, real-time communications services.

Using SIP trunks helps to reduce call rates especially when making long distance calls, since VoIP providers can offer better
calling rates compared to local ISP using analog lines.

UCM6xxx series support two types of SIP trunks: “Register SIP trunks”, mainly used to connect with provider’s trunk and “Peer
trunks”, that can be used to interconnect multiple IP-PBXs. UCM6xxx series support up to 200 SIP trunks.

This guide describes needed configuration to set up register trunk (with provider) and peer trunk (between two UCM6xxx).

UCM6xxx Typical Scenario

The figure above shows a typical scenario using two UCM6xxx between main and branch offices (connected via peer trunk),
and main office UCM6xxx connected to provider via register SIP trunk.

UCM6XXX series include UCM620x series, UCM630x series, UCM630xA series and UCM6510.

Account SIP Trunks

Account SIP Trunks allow creating a SIP trunk which allow devices like ATAs and gateways without a static IP addresses to
connect to the UCM to handle and route calls. This type of SIP trunks supports authentication which requires providing the
correct username and password to be able to register on the trunk. This trunk can be used for scenarios where devices either
do not have a static IP address to peer with, or cannot register to a UCM extension due to call handling and routing
complications.

Configuration

To create an Account SIP Trunk, please navigate to Extensions/Trunk > VoIP Trunk, then click on “Add”.
 Account SIP Trunk

The user must enter the name of the provider, then enter the username and password for authentication. Both are mandatory
to be able to create this type of trunk.

In order to register a PBX to this SIP trunk, please create a SIP trunk that supports registration. In the case of the UCM6300
series, we will create a Register Trunk which support authentication. Please follow the steps below to configure the Register
Trunk properly.

1. On the Register Trunk, enter the Host Name of the PBX on which we have created the Account SIP Trunk. The user can
enter the PBX’s domain name (if applicable) or its IP address as shown in the figure below.

Host Name Configuration

2. Enter the username and password which are the configured on the Account SIP Trunk.

Authentication Information Configuration

To configure the inbound and outbound routes, please refer to the following guide:
https://documentation.grandstream.com/knowledge-base/how-to-manage-inbound-outbound-routes/

Register SIP Trunks

In this guide, we will take company ABC as example. The company has purchased two SIP trunks, the first one will be used for
International calls, while the second will be used of national ones.

The ITSP provider gave following trunk information to the company ABC in order to register their trunks.

Setup considerations:

Extensions range on UCM6xxx in main office is 1000 – 1999.

Dialing to international numbers should be prefixed with 99 with no size limits.

National numbers start with 06 with 10-digit length.

Configuration

Below steps to configure SIP Trunk 1 on Main office UCM6xxx. Same steps apply to configure Trunk 2.
 1. Access UCM6xxx web GUI 🡪 Extension / Trunk 🡪 VoIP Trunks.

Enter Password associated with username. In this example: “admin123”.

3. Click and to store and apply the configuration.

Above steps describe basic configuration needed to register a SIP trunk. Depending on providers, users may need to adjust
their settings to successfully register a SIP trunk.

The table below describes main parameters available for Register SIP Trunks:

Basic Settings

Provider Name Configure a unique label to identify this trunk when listed in outbound rules, inbound rules, etc.

Host Name Configure the IP address or URL for the VoIP provider’s server of the trunk.

Transport Configure the SIP transport protocol to be used in this trunk. The default setting is "UDP".

● UDP
● TCP
 ● TLS

If enabled, calls handled with this extension/trunk will automatically be recorded.

Auto Record
Note:

Keep the CID from the inbound call when dialing out. This setting will override the “Keep Trunk CID”
Keep Original CID option. Please make sure that the peer PBX at the other side supports to match user entry using the
“username” field from the authentication line.

If enabled, the trunk CID will not be overridden by the extension’s CID when the extension has CID
Keep Trunk CID
configured. The default setting is “No”.

Turn on this option when the PBX is using public IP and communicating with devices behind NAT. If
NAT there is a one-way audio issue, usually it is related to NAT configuration or SIP/RTP port configuration on
the firewall.

If selected, the trunk will be disabled.

Disable This Trunk Note: If a current SIP trunk is disabled, UCM will send UNREGISTER message (REGISTER message
with expires=0) to the SIP provider.

If the trunk has an assigned PSTN telephone number, this field should be set to "User=Phone". Then a
"User=Phone" parameter will be attached to the Request-Line and TO header in the SIP request to
TEL URI
indicate the E.164 number. If set to "Enable", "Tel:" will be used instead of "SIP:" in the SIP request. The
default setting is disabled.

Select whether the trunk needs to register on the external server or not when the "Register SIP Trunk"
Need Registration type is selected.
The default setting is No.

Allow outgoing calls if If enabled outgoing calls even if the registration to this trunk fails will still be able to go through.
registration failure Note that if we uncheck the “Need Registration” option, this option will be ignored.

CallerID Name Configure the new name of the caller when the extension has no CallerID Name configured.

Configure the actual domain name where the extension comes from. This can be used to override the
“From” Header.
From Domain
For example, "trunk.UCM630X.provider.com" is the From Domain in From Header:
sip:[email protected].

Configure the actual username of the extension. This can be used to override the “From” Header. There
From User are cases where there is a single ID for registration (single trunk) with multiple DIDs.
For example, "1234567" is the From User in From Header: sip:[email protected].

Enter the username to register to the trunk from the provider when the "Register SIP Trunk" type is
Username
selected.

Password Enter the password to register to the trunk when "Register SIP Trunk" is selected.

Auth ID Enter the Authentication ID for the "Register SIP Trunk" type.

Auth Trunk If enabled, the UCM will send a 401 response to the incoming call to authenticate the trunk.

Enable automatic recording for the calls using this trunk (for SIP trunk only). The default setting is
Auto Record
disabled. The recording files can be accessed under Web GUI🡲CDR🡲Recording Files.

If enabled, the RemoteConnect related parameters will be set synchronously. Please make the trunk host

previous call to that party failed for some reason.

Configure the maximum number of CCSS agents which may be allocated for this channel. In other words,
CC Max Agents this number serves as the maximum number of CC requests this channel is allowed to make. The
minimum value is 1.

Configure the maximum number of monitor structures that may be created for this device. In other words,
CC Max Monitors this number tells how many callers may request CC services for a specific device at one time. The
minimum value is 1.

After saving the new VoIP trunk, it will be displayed under Web UI 🡪 Extension / Trunk 🡪 VoIP Trunks as shown below.
Press to edit trunk settings if needed.

Register Trunk

Once the trunk has been created, users can check its registration status under System Status 🡪 Dashboard page.

Register Trunk Status

Note
 If status shows “Rejected”, it means that UCM6xxx didn’t get registered with the provider. Verify that provider’s server is
reachable from UCM6xxx and double confirm trunk credentials.

DID/DOD Configuration

Direct Inward Dialing (DID)

DID (Direct Inward Dialing) is a service provided by the ITSP to subscribers using IP-PBX, adding possibility to route incoming
calls to a specific DID to a specific extension. Using DIDs, it will allow extensions to be reachable from outside directly without
going through main office number.

In this example, following DIDs have been provided with first trunk “Provider_1”: 0655441000 / 0655441001 / 0655441002 /
0655441003 / 0655441004 / 0655441005 / 0655441006 / 0655441007 / 0655441008 / 0655441009 / 0655441010.

Company wants to redirect incoming calls to specific extensions using provided DIDs.

UCM6xxx in main office is using extensions range: 1000 – 1999.

Note

Make sure DID Mode is set correctly under trunk advanced settings. Provider may include DID number in “Request-line” or “To-
header”.

Following configuration can be done to achieve this:

1. Access UCM6xxx Web UI 🡪 Extension/Trunk 🡪 Inbound Routes. Select “Trunk 1” and press “Add” button.

2. In DID Pattern field, enter “_0655441XXX”.

3. Configure ByDID as Default Destination and check “Extension” in “DID Destination” options.

4. Configure Strip field. In this example: Strip=6 to remove first 6 digits from incoming number and keep last 4 digits. If call
is coming to 0655441007, UCM6xxx will strip 065544 and keep 1007.

5. Click and to apply configuration.

Inbound Rule – By DID

Direct Outward Dialing (DOD)

The UCM6xxx provides Direct Outward Dialing (DOD) which is a service of a local phone that allows extensions within a
company ABC’s UCM to connect to outside lines directly.

We will use Company’s ABC trunk 0655441000 with 11 DIDs associated to it. At the moment when a user makes an outbound
call their caller ID shows up as the main office number which is 0655441000. This create a problem as the CEO would like that
his calls to comes from his direct line. This can be accomplished by configuring DOD for the CEO’s extension. Other group
member also can benefit from DOD to have their own line showed when making calls.

Steps on how to configure DOD on the UCM6xxx:

1. To setup DOD go to UCM6xxx Web UI 🡪 Extension/Trunk 🡪 VoIP Trunks page.

2. Click to access the DOD options for the selected SIP Trunk.

3. Click “+ Add DOD” to begin your DOD setup.

4. For “DOD Number“, enter one of the numbers (DIDs) from your SIP trunk provider. In this example, we will enter in the
number for the CEO’s direct line (0655441000).

5. Enter a name for the DOD in the “DOD Name“.

6. If extension number need to be appended to the DID number click on “Add Extension”.

7. Select an extension from the “Available Extensions” list. Users have the option of selecting more than one extension. In
this case, we would select the CEO’s extension. After making the selection, click on the button to move the
extension(s) to the “Selected Extensions” list.

8. Click and to apply configuration.

Create New DOD

Users can press “Edit DOD” to check/add/delete extensions that are associated to a particular DOD.

DOD List
Create Outbound/Inbound Routes

In this section we will give an example of creating Outbound and Inbound Rules for trunk 1 “Provider_1” to allow receiving
incoming calls and to be redirected to IVR and to allow outgoing calls to be made.

Create Inbound Routes

1. Access UCM6xxx Web UI 🡪 Extension/Trunk 🡪 Inbound Routes. Select “Trunk 1” and press “+ Add”.

2. In DID Pattern field, enter “_X.”. This allows all incoming calls to be received.

3. Set IVR as Default Destination. (Assuming IVR is pre-configured).

4. Click and to apply configuration.

Register Inbound Route

Note

On UCM630x series, you can also configure the name of the Inbound Route Name, it is optional.

Inbound Route name Field on UCM630x

As for time condition based inbound route, please refer to section TIME CONDITION.

Special ringing tone option is called Ringback tone on the UCM63xx series.
Create Outbound Routes

1. Go to Web UI 🡪 Extension/Trunk 🡪 Outbound Routes.

2. Click on “+ Add” button to create a new outbound route.

3. Enter the Calling Rule Name, Pattern and choose “Provider_1” in Use Trunk.

In below figure, we set “Pattern” to “_06XXXXXXXX” to allow only dialed numbers with leading 06 and 10-digit length to be
accepted. Extensions with privilege “Internal” or higher can use this route/trunk.

Users can add comments to a dial plan by typing “/*” and “*/” before and after each comment respectively, in our example we
can set the pattern to: “_06XXXXXXXX /*route1*/ ”

Outbound Route Example

Another outbound route should be set using “Provider_2” with following parameters:

Pattern: “_99X.” (to allow only dialed numbers with leading 99 to be authorized).

Privilege: International for instance.

Strip: “2” (to remove prefix 99 before calling out).

To dial international numbers such as 0016175669300, users need to have privilege “International” in used extension and dial
990016175669300.

For time condition based Outbound Routes, please refer to TIME CONDITION.

Info

When DOD Number and Name configured, they are sent in the From and Contact headers in the SIP messaging.
Peer Trunk
In this chapter, we will consider that company ABC has a branch office equipped with UCM6xxx, and they want to be able to
communicate between the two offices.

SIP Peer Trunk

Assuming following:

Both UCM6xxxs have public IP addresses.

Or both UCM6xxx are on the same LAN/VPN using private or public IP addresses.

Or both UCM6xxx can be connected through a router using public or private IP addresses (with necessary port forwarding
or DMZ).

UCM6xxx in main office is using extensions range 1XXX, while UCM6xxx in branch office is using extensions range 2XXX.

Configuration

Following steps need to be done on both UCM6xxx in both locations:

1. Access UCM6xxx’s web GUI 🡪 Extension / Trunk 🡪 VoIP Trunks.

2. Click on , and enter following parameters:

Select “Peer SIP Trunk” for Type.

Enter a reference name. In this example: toBranch.

In Host Name field, enter the IP address/domain of the other UCM6xxx. In this case “ucm2.abd.com” is the domain name
of the branch office.

3. Click and to apply configuration.

 Create New Peer Trunk

disabled. The recording files can be accessed under web GUI->CDR->Recording Files

Keep the CID from the inbound call when dialing out. This setting will override “Keep Trunk CID”
option. Please make sure that the peer PBX at the other side supports to match user entry using
Keep Original CID “username” field from authentication line.

If enabled, user at extension 1000 will see 2000 as UserID.

If enabled, the trunk CID will not be overridden by extension’s CID when the extension has CID
configured. The default setting is “No”.
Keep Trunk CID
If enabled and Keep Original CID is disabled, user at extension 1000 will see the ID set on Caller
ID field.

Turn on this setting when the PBX is using public IP and communicating with devices behind NAT. If
NAT there is one-way audio issue, usually it is related to NAT configuration or SIP/RTP port support on the
firewall.
Field Description

Disable This Trunk
UNREGISTER message (REGISTER message with expires=0) to the SIP provider.

If the trunk has an assigned PSTN telephone number, this field should be set to “User=Phone”. Then
a “User=Phone” parameter will be attached to the Request-Line and TO header in the SIP request to
indicate the E.164 number. If set to “Enable”, “Tel:” will be used instead of “SIP:” in the SIP request.
The default setting is disabled.

TEL URI
If TEL URI is set to Disabled, the TO header will be “To: <sip:[email protected]>”.

If TEL URI is set to User=Phone, the TO header will be “To: <sip:1000@

ucm1.abc.com;user=phone>”.

If TEL URI is set to Enabled, the TO header will be “To: <tel:1000>”.

Configure the Caller ID. This is the number that the trunk will try to use when making outbound calls.
For some providers, it might not be possible to set the CallerID with this option and this option will
be ignored.

Important Note: When making outgoing calls, the following priority order rule will be used to
Caller ID Number
determine which CallerID will be set before sending out the call :

CID from inbound call (Keep Original CID Enabled) 🡪 Trunk Username/CallerID (Keep Trunk
CID Enabled) 🡪 DOD 🡪 Extension CallerID Number 🡪 Trunk Username/CallerID (Keep Trunk
CID Disabled) 🡪 Global Outbound CID.

Configure the name of the caller to be displayed when the extension has no CallerID Name
configured.

Note: This Option needs Keep Trunk CID Feature enabled

Caller ID Name
If the Caller ID Name is set on the trunk, the “From” header will include this name as shown
below:

status of each other sending regularly SIP OPTIONS to check if it’s still online.
 Enable Heartbeat Detection

Click and to apply configuration.

Once the trunk has been created and Enable Heartbeat Detection is set, users can view the status of the peered trunk by
navigating to the Status page.

Peer Trunk Status

Outbound Routes Configuration

On the main office UCM6xxx web GUI under “Web UI 🡪 Extension/Trunk 🡪 Outbound Routes”, click on . This
would allow the extensions on main office to reach extensions on Branch Office.

Configure using following parameters:

1. Calling Rule Name: This is for reference purposes so we choose to use “toBranch”.

2. Pattern: The pattern used in this example is _2XXX since the Branch Office is using extension range 2XXX.

3. Privilege Level: Configured as “Internal”. User can change it to another privilege depending on the use case.

4. User Trunk: Select the SIP Trunk toBranch.

5. Click on then .
In figure 15, the pattern “_2XXX” means that whenever a user on the main office call an extension that starts with 2 and have 4
digits, this trunk will be used for the call.

PEER Trunk – Create New Outbound Rule

These steps will also apply when configuring the outbound route from Branch Office UCM6xxx. The pattern used will be
_1XXX since the extension range on the Main Office is 1XXX.

Users also could create Time based Condition to use Outbound Routes on a specific time, please refer to TIME CONDITION
for more details.

Inbound Routes Configuration

To create an inbound rule, on the UCM webGUI, under “Web UI 🡪 Extension/trunk 🡪 Inbound Routes” click on
button.

For this example, Main Office UCM6xxx inbound rule needs to be configured so that when an extension on the Branch Office
dials, it will be routed to the specified user. Configure using following parameters:

1. Trunks: Select the toBranch trunk.

2. DID Pattern: Enter in the pattern “_1XXX” | “_2XXX” as shown in below figure.

3. DID Destination: By DID.

4. Click on then .
 Create Inbound Rule

With this inbound rule configured, if the Main Office UCM6xxx receives a call from any extension with a leading 2 and
containing 4 digits to any extension with a leading 1 and contains 4 digits it will be redirected by DID to corresponding
extension.

Those steps will also need to be applied to the Branch Office.

Users also could create Time based Conditions to use Inbound Routes on specific times, please refer to [TIME CONDITION}
for more details.

Time Condition
Users can set time condition on Inbound/Outbound rules in order to use each route on a specific time.

Supposing that Time Conditions are already set, if more details are needed, please refer to the following guide:
https://documentation.grandstream.com/knowledge-base/managing-office-time-holidays/

Users can setup time conditions for trunks by following below steps:

1. Access the UCM6xxx Web UI 🡪 Extension / Trunk 🡪 Outbound Routes.

2. Navigate to time condition section.

3. Select the time condition when to use this trunk. (Office Time in this example)

4. Click on “Add” to add the time condition.

 Outbound Time Office

The example above shows that on the Office Time, calls will be made using Provider_1 trunk.

Out Of Office Time

The example above shows that on Out of Office Time, calls will be made using Provider_2 trunk.

Failover Trunk
Failover trunks can be used to make sure that a call goes through an alternate route, when the primary trunk is busy or down.
UCM6xxx will use Failover trunks in following scenarios:

No response from first trunk after 32 seconds.

If UCM6xxx receives 403/407/408/503/603 SIP responses from primary trunk.

If primary trunk is disabled.

If primary trunk is an analog trunk and it’s busy or not connected.

Users can setup failover for peer and register trunks by following below steps:

1. Go to PBX->Basic/Call Routes->Outbound Routes.

2. Click on “Click to add failover trunk”.

3. Select then the trunk to be set as failover as shown in the below figure.

4. Strip and prepend digits if needed.

Adding Failover Trunk
