SIP Trunking Feature

Connect Your Existing PBX

The trunk presents a standard SIP interface, so systems that speak SIP can register to it or be allowed by IP. That includes the open-source PBXs most Indian businesses actually run. There is no vendor-specific SDK to adopt and no agent to install on your PBX - you configure a trunk in the system you already have.

What PBX Connection gives you

Connect the phone system you already run - the trunk is standard SIP, not a proprietary integration.

Standard SIP, not a proprietary protocol

If your system speaks SIP, connecting is a configuration exercise rather than an integration project.

Nothing to install on your PBX

No agent, no plugin, no vendor SDK on the system you already depend on.

Registration or IP-based auth

Connect the way your setup expects, rather than being forced into one authentication model.

Keep your existing investment

Replace the line into the PBX without replacing the PBX.

How PBX Connection works

End to end, in the order it actually happens.

  1. 1

    Provision a trunk and retrieve its connection details.

  2. 2

    Add it as a SIP trunk in your PBX.

  3. 3

    Authenticate by registration or have your static IP allowed.

  4. 4

    Place test calls in both directions.

  5. 5

    Move your inbound numbers onto the trunk.

What PBX Connection does not do

Worth knowing before you build a process around it.

  • There is no certified-PBX list. Compatibility is established by configuring and testing your specific system and version.
  • Codec behaviour and transcoding should be verified for your deployment rather than assumed.
  • Firewall and NAT configuration on your side is yours to get right; it is the most common cause of one-way audio.

Common uses

  • FreePBX and Asterisk

  • 3CX deployments

  • Legacy PBX replacement

  • Hybrid on-premise and cloud

What is SIP trunking?

SIP trunking is a method of delivering voice calls over the internet using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). It replaces traditional PRI/ISDN lines, connecting your PBX or contact center to the public telephone network (PSTN) via an internet connection.

How is SIP trunking different from PRI?

SIP trunking uses internet connectivity instead of physical copper lines. It offers elastic capacity (add or remove channels instantly), lower cost per minute, geographic flexibility, and no need for on-premise telco equipment. PRI lines are fixed at 30 channels and require hardware installation.
