Create SIP registration mode

The SIP Registration Mode will allow you to connect your PBX to us. Your PBX will be able to call users on our system or dial out to the world and PBX users will be able to call extensions on your PBX.

The SIP trunk details required for your PBX will be displayed as shown below.


Please note the “allow override existing contact” checkbox. When enabled, any new SIP trunk registration will replace the old connection, preventing multiple registration attempts. This feature is useful when changes are often made to the SIP trunk. However, be aware that it might compromise security. Don’t forget to save and apply the new configuration.
