Step3: Configuring trunk for inbound calls

Voxbone provides call forwarding via SIP to an IP address or a SIP URI.

After you have been provisioned a DID from us you need to route the calls to your SIP equipment.

You also need to configure your equipment to accept calls coming from the Voxbone IP addresses.

The current list of IP addresses is:

Add the following to /etc/asterisk/sip.conf using trixbox confige dit utility

[81.201.82.20]
host = 81.201.82.20
type = friend
insecure = very
context = from-pstn
canreinvite=no

[81.201.82.21]
host = 81.201.82.21
type = friend
insecure = very
context = from-pstn
canreinvite=no
...
( Do it for all voxbone IPs address listed above )
