SIP trunk newbie questions 1

[probichaux]

Per kwbmitel's suggestion in <a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1365258&page=1">this

thread</a>, I wanted to ask some basic questions about creating and working with SIP trunks on the 3300.

1. Do you have to explicitly create a SIP trunk object, or is designating a trunk in Trunk Service Assignment enough?

1a. If yes, how do you do it?

2. Once I've created a SIP trunk, where do I set its options? I see how to create SIP peers and modify their options.

3. How do I register a non-Mitel device (like a test softphone such as SJphone or X-Lite) as a SIP device with the 3300 so I can place calls from it?

4. Where's the best source of documentation on Mitel's SIP implementation?

Ignorantly yours,

Embedded help system can give you all the information how to configure. BTW do you have SIP trunk or SIP user licenses?

Mitel has placed a TSB on their website for programming SIP trunks for MS Server exchange UM.

Might be a good place to start.

Consistancy... Is only a virtue when you're not a total screwup.

I have the TSB and followed it; that's what got me into all this trouble

Turns ou the answers are:

1. you do not have to explicitly create a SIP trunk
2. there are no additional SIP-specific options, unlike e.g. Asterix
3. this remains a mystery

#3: You need to have SIP user licenses
Create a new Multiline IP device, set the set type as 'Generic SIP device', assign a DN, a user, a pin (usually the same as the DN). Set that info in the Xlite client. It does work, I have a few Xlite clients working in my lab.

Perfect, MitelTech! That's exactly what I needed to know, and I now have X-Lite running on a couple of lab boxes. (For fun I might try a pair of my el-cheap-o BudgeTone phones Thanks for the help.
