IP PBX Configuration - FusionPBX¶

FusionPBX is a web based user interface designed to simplify management of freeSwitch. SIP Trunk configuration instructions below apply to the following FusionPBX versions:

• FusionPBX v. 4.5 - Switch Version 1.8

Documentation is provided for scenario where FusionPBX server uses Static IP address on the public Internet and when Dynamic IP address is used.

Static IP address¶

1. Static IP address (a.b.c.d in our example above) of your FusionPBX server will be added to GoTrunk service IP ACL (Access Control List) and outbound calls coming from that IP address will be accepted without requiring any further authentication (SIP username and password). This is the most efficient way of authenticating SIP calls.

2. Inbound calls to one of Telephone Numbers on your GoTrunk account will be sent directly to FusionPBX public IP address. Since the calls will be coming from known peer (IP address of SIP Trunking service q.x.y.z in our example above) FusionPBX will accept them without requiring any further authentication.

To configure FusionPBX server to work with GoTrunk SIP trunk using IP authentication the following changes are required:

Follow steps below to add SIP Trunk:

1. Click Accounts menu.
2. Select Gateways.
3. Click Add button - Plus symbol.
4. Enter name of the trunk as gotrunk
5. Enter the following into Proxy field (replace amn.st.ssl7.net with eu.st.ssl7.net if you want to use North America POP):
6. Switch Register to false.
7. Set Caller ID in From to True
8. Click Save button.

Next follow "Routing configuration" instructions below.

Dynamic IP address¶

1. For outbound calls from FusionPBX to GoTrunk SIP Credentials (SIP username and password) authentication is used.

2. For inbound calls to one of Telephone Numbers on your GoTrunk account to work FusionPBX needs to Register with GoTrunk service (and periodically refresh registration in case IP address changes). Calls will be sent to IP address which was sent in the most recent FusionPBX Registration. Since the calls will be coming from known peer (IP address of SIP Trunking service q.x.y.z in our example above) FusionPBX will accept them without requiring any further authentication.

To configure FusionPBX server to work with GoTrunk SIP Trunk using SIP Credentials authentication the following changes are required:

Follow steps below to add SIP Trunk:

1. Click Accounts menu.
2. Select Gateways.
3. Click Add button - Plus symbol.
4. Enter name of the trunk as gotrunk
5. Under Username field introduce your SIP Username
6. Under Password field introduce your SIP Password
7. Enter the following into Proxy field (replace amn.st.ssl7.net with eu.st.ssl7.net if you want to use North America POP):
8. Switch Register to false.
9. Set Caller ID in From to True
10. Click Save button.

Next follow "Routing configuration" instructions below.

Set Extension Caller ID¶

3. Edit extension you like to set CID.
4. Enter Caller ID Number into Outbound Caller ID Number field.
5. Click Save button.

Configuration note¶

Some FusionPBX has default SIP External listening port as 5080 instead of the standard SIP port.

To make incoming calls work we need to modify SIP port under FusionPBX to 5060. This can be done from Advanced > Variables, under SIP Profile: External, you will need to set external_sip_port to 5060.

If you deployed IP Authentication you have one other option. You can also set remote SIP port to 5080 under GoTrunk. This can be done by editing Endpoint SIP under GoTrunk settings and set port to 5160.

Configuration note¶

When editing FusionPBX gateway it is needed to restart gateway. Follow the steps bellow to Stop and Start gateway:

1. Click Accounts menu.
2. Select Gateways.
3. Under corresponding gateway click Stop button. Once stopped click Start link.

Configuration note¶

With FusionPBX has Access control Lists to secure the server. Please while you are testing the trunk configuration make sure default option is Allow.
