3.1. Connect the SIP Trunks to the Cloud PBX.

The SIP trunks interface on the cloud PBX can be connected to any compatible SIP trunk provider network. The SIP trunk provider will supply the telephone numbers and account registration details. These are programmed into the cloud PBX in two steps:

1. Programme the public telephone numbers into the cloud PBX on the page ‘External Numbers List’ in the External Numbers section of the Administrator page.

(11)

2. Now programme the SIP Account details by pressing the Edit button on the ‘SIP Accounts’ page.

This page is used to enter the registration details supplied by the SIP trunk network provider and to configure other important technical options of the SIP trunks that may be specified by the provider.

The essential registration details are the server address, the Username and Password.

There is a lot of variation in the parameters required by SIP service providers and this page allows you to program these options. Go to the online help for a detailed

3.2. Programme the Ringing Assignment

Each external telephone number connected to the Opera Cloud PBX may be

programmed to ring a different user or set of users for incoming calls. The assignment of incoming calls to internal extensions is done on the ‘Ringing assignment’ page in the section ‘External Numbers’.

Click on the ‘Edit’ button of any number to define the distribution of incoming calls on that number:

On this page you can add an extension to the ringing assignment by dragging and dropping from the extension list on the left to the assignment column in the centre. You may also add a group to the assignment in the same way. You may also assign an Auto–Attendant message for this number or a networked user, an external number or a conference room by clicking the links on the right. When the selection is

complete, click the green tick-box to return the previous page. You may then proceed to programme the night ringing and the other modes by clicking the links at the

Up to 15 different ringing modes can be defined on the page ’Day/Night Ringing’ under Time Settings.

Each ringing mode can be acitivated at a particular time of the day on the page ‘Day Night Switch Times’ under Time Settings.

3.4. Trouble-shooting the SIP trunks

If you have trouble making or receiving calls on the SIP trunks, verify the following:

 Check the external telephone numbers are entered on the page ‘External Lines’ in the exact format specified by the SIP trunk provider and that they are associated with the correct SIP account.

 Check that the SIP account details are programmed correctly on the SIP Account page. The basic parameters are the SIP server address, the username and password.

 SIP account parameters may vary widely between providers. Check that any requirements of your provider are programmed correctly on the sip account page.

 Check that the ringing assignment is programmed correctly.

 To avoid the default delay of 4 seconds, to allow the user dial additional digits, before dialled digits are sent to line, program the Dial Plan on the SIP Account page.
