Most VoIP providers have similar configurations. Most confusion typically stems
from details such as terminology differences between Evolution and individual
providers (e.g. VoIP server versus proxy server versus SIP server, etc.). Go to the
section below titled VoIP Trunks over Broadband for VoIP-Generic and named
provider accounts like VoIP-CommPartners_IP.
VoIP Trunks over Broadband
Evolution PBX supports VoIP trunks over broadband
(VoIP lines from a VoIP service provider). Follow these
steps to configure a VoIP service provider account:
1. Log in to the Evolution web interface.
2. Click on the Resources tab and then click on the
Phone Lines menu item.
3. At the bottom of the screen is a drop-down menu
titled Setup New Phone Lines (screenshot on the
right). Select VoIP-Broadvoice or the service
provider name that you would like to configure.
4. The detail section will expand and allow you to
configure the service provider account. Most of
these settings configure how Evolution will handle
incoming calls. Outbound call settings are
configured by clicking the Call Routing tab and
then clicking on the Outbound Dial Map menu
item. Here is a description of each field:
• Account ID - enter the user name or account
ID provided by the service provider. Your ID is
often provided in a welcome email or by
logging into a web portal.
• Password - enter the account password
provided by your service provider.
• Codec - enter the codec type that your service
provider recommends for your account. G.711 is
common and recommended for good audio quality. Options: G.711, G.729,
and GSM. Note that G.729 support is for Annex A only and requires that
you purchase a license for each G.729 call. Contact
[e-mail] for more information.
• Max Calls - the number of simultaneous calls that your service provider
allows for this account. One account does not always mean one telephone
number or call. Your provider may allow you more numbers and/or calls.
Your service provider may or may not limit the number of calls that you
can make using your account but you must have the Internet bandwidth to
support all of the calls (for example, if your service provider allows to you
to make 24 calls but you only have Internet bandwidth for 15 calls then
more than 15 calls may not function correctly).
• Advanced Options - displays the advanced options for this trunk group.
‣
Auth Type - Credentials configures Evolution for providers that
require a username and password for authentication with their service.
IP Only is for providers that give you their IP address or domain name
and require that you have a static, public IP address for your server (or
that your server is behind).
