IP Based Authentication

The TTNC SIP Trunk service provides an IP connection between our network and your PBX over the Internet. The trunk gives your PBX access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN), allowing you to make and receive calls.

This guide focuses on SIP Trunks with IP Based Authentication. For User Based Authentication, see the User Based guide.

Forwarding to your SIP Trunk

In order to receive a call via your SIP Trunk, you need to set it as the forwarding destination on your number. This can be done by following these steps:

  2. Click into the Destination field and type the SIP URI. In this example, we have used the phone number as the 'username' - Your 'username' will be determined by the format of your PBX and how the endpoints are constructed. See below for more information about SIP URIs.

  1. To save the settings, click Apply

All calls will now be forwarded to your SIP Trunk.


SIP URIs

To configure call forwarding using a TTNC SIP Trunk, you must type in a SIP URI. These look similar to an email address. For example:

These are only examples to demonstrate URI formatting and will not work if set up in myTTNC.

Your SIP provider may not give you your destination in the form of a URI, but you should be able to create one from your SIP credentials;

  • Username – this may be your account number/name, your 'inbound route' name, or your phone number.
  • VoipHostDomain – this may be called the 'Domain', 'Host' or could be the inbound IP they provide.
