| STEP 1 |
Add a new Domain |
|
If you haven't already please follow this step to add a new domain to your pbxnsip PBX. Otherwise you may skip this step.
- Login to the pbxnsip administrative interface
- Select "Domains'" from the top of page
- Select "Create" from the sub menu
- Read the instructions for adding a new domain
- Enter "localhost" in the "Primary Name" field
- Enter "localhost" in the "Alias Names" field
- Click "Create" to create a new domain
|
| STEP 1b |
Select the domain |
|
Now you will need to select the domain you wish to configure. Note that your amount of users may differ from the number shown below.
- Click "Domains" from the top of the page
- Select the domain you wish to edit. In this case please select "localhost" from the Domains list
|
| STEP 2 |
Trunk Configuration |
|
In the context of this guide a trunk is used to route calls to or from your pbxnsip PBX and Callcentric
- Select "Trunks" from the navigation options. You will either be shown a list of trunks you have already configured or an empty list of trunks
- Scroll to "New Trunk" and Enter "callcentric" into the "Name" field
- Select "SIP Registration" as the value for "Type"
- Click "Create"
- When the page reloads click on the edit icon next to the trunk you wish to edit, in this case the "callcentric" trunk.
- Enter the following information in the appropriate fields:
 |
| Display Name | [Enter your name or Company name here] |
|
| Account | 1777MYCCID |
|
| Registrar | callcentric.com |
|
| Username | 1777MYCCID |
|
| Password | SUPERSECRET |
|
| Password (repeat) | SUPERCRET |
|
| Outbound Proxy | callcentric.com |
|
| Trunk ANI | Verified callerID or DID on account |
|
| Override Codec Preference | G711U, G711A and G729A |
|
- Latest versions of pbxnsip version3 include a new method for routing incoming calls. If you have the field below please configure the following:
|
| Send call to extension | !([0-9]*)!\1!t!100 |
|
| Where 100 can be any extension of your choice |
* Where 1777MYCCID is your Callcentric number and SUPERSECRET is the password you received in your welcome email under "SIP / Phone Login"
- Click "Save" to add your new SIP trunk to your pbxnsip server
- When the page reloads click on the "List" link from the navigation menu to see that your new trunk has successfully registered to Callcentric's servers
|
| STEP 3 |
Configure Dial Plans |
|
Here we will add a default dial plan for the localhost domain if there is no default dial plan.
Note: Currently in order to send star (*)/feature code numbers to Callcentric you will have to use an outside line qualifier. Here we use 9. We also use 9 to send any call to Callcentric:
- Select "Dial Plans" from the navigation menu
- Add a new dial plan and call it "callcentric"
- Click "Create". The page will then reload
- Click on the edit icon next to the "callcentric" dial plan to edit it
- Enter the following dial plan
|
| Pref | Trunk | Pattern | Replacement |
|
| 200 | callcentric | 9* | |
|
| 100 | callcentric | 9(\*)([0-9]*).* | \1\2 |
|
Click "Save" to add your new dial plan pattern
|
| STEP 4 |
Add an Account/Extension for calling |
|
An extension in pbxnsip is an account that provides a number which another UA (software or hardware used for calling) can connect to in order to make and receive calls.
* If you have already configured an extension then you may skip to editing the extension. Then in the next step (Inbound Call configuration) you may use your pre-configured extension.
- Select "Accounts" to add a new extension which will connect to your pbxnsip server
- Select "Create" on the top of the page to begin the process
- Select "Extension" from the account type drop down box
- Enter 100 for the first extension number
- Enter "First Extension" in the "Name" field. Later you may enter a unique identifier of your choice
- Enter your desired password in the "Password" field. You will use this password when configuring your desired UA later in order to connect to your pbxnsip PBX
- Enter an optional email address in the "Email" field for the person using this extension. Here we have left it blank
- Click on "Create" on the bottom of the page to add your new extension to your pbxnsip server
- When the page reloads select "Show List" from the navigation
- Click on the edit icon next to the 100 extension, or your pre-configured extension
- Set the "Dial Plan" option to "callcentric", which is the dial plan we created earlier
- Click on "Save"
|
| STEP 5 |
Inbound Call Configuration |
|
Inbound configuration can be extremely complex. With an inbound route you are given the flexibility to send incoming calls to a whole range of destinations. For example you may route an incoming call to a specific extension, to a ring group or to an IVR. In this section we are going to setup an inbound route, which will simply route those calls to a hunt group consisting of your 100 extension. Later on you can configure more complex routing schemes.
- Select "Account" to configure the routing of calls to your Callcentric account
- Select "Create" at the top of the page to begin adding a new hunt group
- Select "Hunt Group" for the "Account Type"
- Enter your 1777XXXXXXX Callcentric account number in the "Account Names" field
- Click on "Create" on the bottom of the page to add your new "Hunt Group" to your pbxnsip PBX
- When the page reloads click on "Accounts" then click on "List" and finally click on the edit icon next to the 1777XXXXXXX hunt group you just created
- In the "Stages:" section add the 100 extension to the "Stage 1 Extensions" list and set the timeout to 30, or your desired timeout limit which is in seconds
- Set the value for the "Dial plan for outbound calls" field to "callcentric", which is the dial plan we created earlier
- Click "Save"
|
| STEP 6 |
Configure and test UA |
|
- Choose your desired UA
- Use the IP address or hostname for your pbxnsip PBX along with "100" (the extension created earlier which is the username) and the password for the 100 extension to connect to your pbxnsip PBX
- Next you will want to try placing test calls to and from your pbxnsip PBX using the UA currently connected to your newly created extension (100). To perform test calls please follow this link. Remember to use 9 as your outside line qualifier.
