Steps

The SIP INVITE  should adhere to certain standards.

  • Userpart: E.164 internationally formatted number which is owned by the customer or purchased from CM.COM. E.g. +31761234567

  • Hostpart: PBX external IP address

  • Portnumber: standard port 5060. A different source port can be used which needs to be reflected in the SIP account endpoint configuration within the Voice Management portal.

  • Using port 0 we will send the response back to the used source port.

FROM/TO/CONTACT: <userpart>@<hostpart>:<portnumber>

  • Calls using the same A- and B-number will be blocked by our SIP Gateway

  • Calls are routed with the information received in the CONTACT and VIA headers.
