SIP Trunk (Zenitel Connect Pro)

Introduction

Zenitel Connect Pro (ZCP) can be interconnected to a SIP Server (e.g. iPBX or Call Manager) via a SIP trunk.

There are two ways to call from a user in ZCP out on the SIP trunk:

• Prefix: Dial the Prefix + the external extension number
• Integrated number plan: Simply dial the extension number without any prefix

SIP Trunking is a licensed feature. A ZCL-PBX license is required per trunk

Adding the SIP Trunk and defining the Prefix

Go to Devices and Connections > External Communication, select Trunk Type External iPBX communication and click the to add a new trunk.

• Prefix: The digit(s) to dial to access the trunk
• Name: Any descriptive text
• Peer Address: The IP address of the SIP Server. If the peer uses a port other than 5060 or 5061 it can be added to the address.
• Call Service: Call Service for an incoming call.
• SIP Transport: protocol to use (UDP, TCP or TLS)
• SIP Authentication: Username and Password to authenticate towards the SIP server
• Medias codecs: Options are G722, G711u, G711a, GSM, H264, L16x48
• Media encryption: Choose No or SRTP (secure RTP)
• Status: Reachable or Unreachable. Tells if the connection is up or down.

Defining a SIP trunk

Integrated Number Plan

It is possible to define outgoing number ranges. Numbers in these ranges can be dialed directly, without the need to dial a prefix. This gives a possibility to make a integrated numbering plan for all SIP trunks in a linked network.

To define the outgoing numbers, select a defined trunk and click on on the left.

In the Outgoing Numbers Range pane, click on to define a new range and enter the From and To directory numbers.

Here the numbers 230-299 will be routed to the SIP Trunk

It is possible to add multiple ranges for each SIP trunk connection. A range consisting of a single number must have that same number entered both in the To and From column. The To and From directory numbers must have the same number of digits.
