Request the Tech Prefix Option from VoIP Innovations

1. After creating the SIP trunk in our PBX, please open a ticket to VoIP Innovations before creating endpoints onto them. Ask them to open the tech prefix option for your endpoints. It is hidden now.

2. When the VoIP Innovations engineer passes your request, you will see that option appears. Fill in our server public IP address, port and unique tech prefix to create your endpoint on them.

3. That tech prefix is an identity for VoIP Innovations to match different accounts or endpoints coming from the same public source IP. So please send out that prefix before your dialed number. You can set it in prepend in your outbound route.

Configure the Outbound Route with VoIP Innovations Trunk

To make outbound calls via the newly created SIP trunk, you need to configure an outbound route for the trunk.
1. Create an Outbound Route
Go to Settings > PBX > Call Control > Outbound Routes, click Add.

2. Configure the Outbound Route
The system compares the number with the pattern that you have defined in your route 1. If it matches, it will initiate the call using the selected trunks. If it does not, it will compare the number with the pattern you have defined in route 2 and so on. The outbound route which is in a higher position will be matched firstly.
You can adjust the outbound route sequence by clicking these buttons

voipinnovations-add-outbound-route
  • Route Name: give this outbound route a name to help you identify it.
  • Dial Patterns: set the dial patterns. As the settings below, to make calls via the SIP trunk, you need to precede the number to be dialed with the same tech prefix as that in your VoIP Innovations endpoint. Here we take 8 as a example.
  • Dial Pattern: 8.
  • Strip: 1
  • Member Extensions: select the extensions that are allowed to make calls through the outbound route.
  • Member Trunks: select the VoIP Innovations trunk.

3. Click Save and Apply
Now you can make outbound calls through the VoIP Innovations trunk. As the dial patterns configured above, you need to dial “8” before the destination number.
For example, to call the number “101234567”, you need to dial “8101234567” on your phone.

Configure the Inbound Route with VoIP Innovations Trunk

To specify how calls from the VoIP Innovations trunk should be routed, you need to configure an inbound route for the SIP trunk.
1. Create an Inbound Route
Go to Settings > PBX > Call Control > Inbound Routes, click Add.

When you call in the SIP trunk, the call will be routed to the destination configured on the inbound route.
