SIP TRUNK WITH ASTERISK

[walruses]

Hi, I´m trying to configure a sip trunk from avaya to asterisk and my first doubt is, what asterisk must look for CM or SM? and the second one, do I have to add asterisk as a location in system manager or just as a sip entity?

Thank you in advance.

If you have a Session Manager, use that.
Every SIP entity must be assigned a "location". You can have a different one per entity, or one for "HQ" and every entity at your HQ be assigned to that location.

It's just a matter of how you want Session Manager's dialplan to work. It can route based on location, digits, domains and regular expressions.

For example, if you have SBCs in Atlanta and Boston, if you dial x@sip-provider.com from originating location Atlanta, go to the Atlanta SBC, and if you're from Boston, go to Boston.

if you are connecting to CM then you have to configure asterisk sip to TCP not udp. However, if you are connecting asterisk to Session Manager then you can configure asterisk sip trunk transport to udp

Thank you very much this is my first connection to session manager so maybe I will have a little more questions.

Best regards.
