Traditional PSTN phone lines are still a fantastic method to make calls and in some regions the only method. Either the internet does not permit it or traditional telecom suppliers provide phone lines by means of a gateway on property just. These lines then require to be plugged into a VoIP Gateway and connected to 3CX. You can learn more about VoIP Gateways here - What is a VoIP Gateway
+
Which VoIP Gateway?
[allamericancommunications.com](https://www.allamericancommunications.com/sellphones.html) +
Whilst 3CX does not directly support VoIP Gateways, we do recommend the following manufacturers: Patton, Beronet and Grandstream.
+
These suppliers test their items with 3CX and recognize with it. For any technical support you need to speak directly with the supplier in concern. The offered technical assistance for the entrance ought to be a crucial point in the purchasing decision!
+
How it Works
+
The basic reasoning of configuring a VoIP entrance is to configure the entrance as a SIP trunk into 3CX. It's not actually a SIP Trunk since the direction of registration is various. A SIP Trunk will always be set up to allow for 3CX to register to it. The VoIP gateway SIP trunk registers with 3CX. Some VoIP Gateways now permit IP based registration and might hence be configured as a routine SIP Trunk if you prefer. This is the primary distinction in between a SIP trunk and a VoIP gateway and the factor that you need to choose "Add Gateway" and not "Add SIP Trunk".
+
Step 1: Connect the VoIP Gateway
+
Connect the VoIP Gateway to the network. +
Now find the entrance's network IP: +
For a Grandstream, use the "Grandstream IP Discovery Tool". +
For a Patton, use the "SmartNode" Discovery Tool. +
For a Beronet, utilize the "bfdetect". +
+Login via the device's web user interface. +
Update the [firmware](https://www.zycoo.com/products/) to the most recent version. +
Assign a fixed IP or produce a booking on your DNS server. Bear in mind of this IP. +
Step 2: Patton/ Beronet - Import design template
+
If you do not have a Patton or Beronet gateway you can avoid this step.
+
The Inbuilt Generic Gateway Template has "Outbound Parameters" specified "FromUserPart" -> $CallerNum which works with numerous gateways however not with Patton and Beronet. If you have this brand you need to import a specific template. To do this:
+
Download this template for Patton or Beronet. +
Go to "Advanced" > "Templates" > "Provider Templates" > "Import". +
Select the generic design template you downloaded and press import to configure this gateway. +
Step 3: Configure your Gateway Trunk on 3CX
+
Specify a name for this entrance. +
In "Registrar/Server" go into the gateway's IP. +
Enter the entrance's "Main Trunk Number" and "Default Route". +
Enter the number of simultaneous require this entrance. This must not go beyond the number of lines the gateway supports, e.g. a T1 entrance supports 23 lines. +
Go to the "DID numbers" tab and specify any DIDs connected to the PSTN connection you are connecting to the VoIP Gateway. +
Keep in mind of the Authentication ID and password. +
Click "Save" to produce this entrance. +
Step 4: Create an Outbound Rule for this Gateway
+
Enter a name for this outbound guideline. +
Define the rule alternatives for the calls to be routed via this gateway. +
Click "Save". +
Step 5 - Register your Gateway to 3CX
+
For Patton
+
Navigate to Telephony -> SIP and add a "IF_SIP" interface profile and define the Remote User Agent Host Name/ Port which is the IP address and SIP Port of 3CX. +
Go to Authentication Services and include the authentication profile named "AS_ALL_LINES" with the Authentication ID and Password drawn from 3CX "Add Gateway" setup. +
Go to Location Services and include "LS_10000" where "10000" is your Authentication ID drawn from 3CX "Add Gateway" setup. +
Go to Telephony > Call-Router and define the [Routing Tables](https://www.zycoo.com/voip-gateways/) based upon your device settings. You may speak with Patton to provide you with an in-depth guide on how to configure your Routing Tables. +
For Grandstream
+
Add account in General Settings and specify Name, SIP Server IP address and Outbound Proxy to be the IP Address of the PBX. +
Go to SIP Settings and configure its by allowing SIP Registration to "Yes" and press Save. +
Go to Accounts and enter the credentials acquired in step 3 and add Authentication ID and Password. +
For Beronet
+
Add [account](https://www.linkedin.com/company/zycoo-co-ltd/) in SIP Configuration and define Name, SIP registrar, domain and outgoing proxy to be the IP Address of the PBX. +
Enter the qualifications obtained in step 3 and add User, Authentication ID and Password and press the Activate button to use settings. +
Create a Diaplan to be able to receive calls from Beronet Gateway to 3CX Phone System. You may talk to Beronet to offer you with a detailed guide on how to configure your Dial Plans. +
