Managing a SIP Trunk

SIP Trunk can be configured on the BE4000 during the initial deployment. However, in case, if the SIP Trunk is not added during the initial deployment, it can be added post site deployment.

If SIP trunk is added during initial deployment, you can remove it from BE4000 post site deployment.

NOTE:

  • You cannot modify the SIP Trunk configurations. You can only add or remove the SIP Trunks.
  • You can add only one SIP Trunk per site.
