Trunk Type - An Origination Customer Trunk Group supports three different methods to determine how to communicate with a customer’s network device.
IP Address - This method simply uses the configured IP Address route SIP Messages to the customer’s network device.
Fully Qualified Domain Name - This method uses DNS Name resolution to resolve the FQDN to one or more IP Addresses. The resolved IP Address(es) are used to route SIP Messages to the customer’s network device.
Registration - This method uses the SIP Digest Authentication method to register with the customer’s network device. Once successfully registered the Address of Record (AoR) is used to route SIP Messages to the customer’s network device.
Port - This represents the source port of the income SIP message. For UDP this is typically port 5060. Since TCP and TLS use random ephemeral ports as their source port, set this field to a 1 in this field when using the TCP and TLS protocol. The value of 1 represents all source ports.
Protocol - The Orchestrator supports UDP, TCP, and TLS v1.2 to communicate with the customer’s network devices.
Orchestrator Location - Typically this is the name of the city where the Orchestrator is deployed. This is a drop down list of Orchestrator locations configured by 46 Labs.
Zones - This is a drop down list of all the available zones for the selected Orchestrator Location. See Zones for more information.
Orchestrator IP - This is the SIP Signaling IP Address of the Orchestrator. This is a drop down list that will contain a single IP Address based on the selection of the Orchestrator Location and the Zone.
Failover - This field identifies the Trunks failover priority. The lower the number the higher the priority. This column is only displayed when the Hunting method is configured as Failover.
Weight - This field identifies the Trunks relative weight. This column is only displayed when the Hunting method is configured as Weighted.
Reset - This button clears (resets) the fields on the page.
Add Trunk - This button will add the Trunk to the Added Trunks table. If any required fields are empty then this button will place a red border around the empty required field and display the word Required beneath the field.
Added Trunks - The number to the right of Added Trunks indicates the number of Trunks in the Added Trunks table.
Trunk Status - Clicking the Trunk Status will display a table of the trunks status. XXX
Search - Can be used to filter the list of Trunks in the Added Trunks table based on a simple ascii text pattern match.
Hunting - An Origination Customer Trunk Group support three different methods for selecting a Trunk.
Load Balance - This method will attempt to evenly distribute outbound calls to all active Trunks based on XXX.
If the selected Trunk does not respond then other active and available Trunks will not be considered.
Failover - This method will always select the active Trunk with the lowest Failover priority number. If this Trunk does not respond or returns a SIP error message defined in the Route Advance Logic section then the active Trunk with the next lowest Failover priority number is selected. The process will proceed until all active Trunks have been selected. The image at the top of this page shows a Failover configuration.
Weighted - This method will attempt to distribute outbound calls to all active Trunks based on their relative weight. For example if you have three active Trunk 1, 2, and 3 configured with weights 25, 25, and 50 respectively, then Trunks 1 and 2 will receive 25% of the outbound calls each and Trunk 3 will receive 50% of all outbound calls.
IP / FQDN OR USERNAME - Displays the IP Address, FQDN, or Registration username of the Trunk.
BOUND IP - This feature only applies to Termination Customer and Origination Vendor Trunk Groups.
PORT - Display the configured source port of the income SIP message.
PROTOCOL - Displays the configured protocol
FAILOVER - Displays the failover priority when the Hunting method is configured as Failover. The lower the priority the higher the preference for selections This column is only displayed when the Hunting method is configured as Failover.
WEIGHT - Displays the relative weight (number) of the Trunks as compared to the sum of all weights. This column is only displayed when the Hunting method is configured as Weighted.
ORCHESTRATOR IP - Displays the SIP Signaling IP Address of the Orchestrator that the Trunk is configured on.
LOCATION - Displays the Orchestrator that the Trunk is configured on.
ZONES - Display the Orchestrator’s zone the Trunk is configured in.
LAST MODIFIER - Displays the username of the last person that modified the Trunk configuration.
STATUS - When a check is displayed the Trunk is enabled. When an X is displayed the Trunk is disabled. To disable the Trunk, a Disable Status confirmation dialog box will be displayed. The Disable button must be selected to disable the Trunk.
Rows per page - By default the first 10 Trunks will be displayed in the Added Trunks table. Select the down arrow button to select 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 Trunks to be displayed at one time. Use the left and right arrow buttons to navigate to other pages when there are more Trunks than what is displayed on a page.
