📋 What is a Trunk?

Image Removed  A Trunk is a SIP connection between your phone system and a VOIP provider for inbound and outbound calls. This section covers topics related to managing trunks.

Info

The SIP trunk configuration will depend on your VoIP provider. There are registration-based SIP Trunk Trunks i.e. via username and password, and IP-based trunks, i.e. PBX public IP is linked to the provider.
Please check with your provider the necessary configuration parameters.

For Sample trunk configurations go to: V3 Examples - Trunks
