sipgate and trixbox

Posted by Paul Howard - 01/01/08 at 06:01:59 pm

About two years ago I had a post on my blog with details of how to get a sipgate account working with trixbox. I still get one or two emails a month asking me for the information so I am reposting it here. I have purposely set the time of the post to 1st January so it appears at the start of the blog. Google should pick up the details without it interfering with the normal posts.
The following worked fine for me for both incoming and outgoing calls.

Outgoing settings

allow=ulaw&alaw
authuser=NNNNNNN
canreinvite=no
disallow=all
dtmfmode=info
fromdomain=sipgate.co.uk
fromuser=NNNNNNN
host=sipgate.co.uk
insecure=very
nat=yes
secret=PPPPPPPP
type=peer
username=NNNNNNN

Incoming settings

context=from-trunk
fromdomain=sipgate.co.uk
fromuser=NNNNNNN
host=sipgate.co.uk
insecure=very
qualify=yes
secret=PPPPPPPP
type=friend
username=NNNNNNN

Register String

NNNNNNN:PPPPPPPP@sipgate.co.uk

Where NNNNNNN is your username and PPPPPPPP is your password.

Once this is done you should be able to make outgoing calls. To receive incoming calls you then need to edit your sip.conf file.

Replace the line:

context = from-sip-external ; Send unknown SIP callers to this context

with

context = from-trunk ; Send unknown SIP callers to this context

Don’t forget to reload your config files or you will be scratching your head for 15 extra minutes like I did.

And Voila! Incoming and outgoing calls should work from your sipgate account.
