Each SIP Trunk object is a child of the SIP Trunks object. It contains configuration parameters and status information for a connection to a remote SIP exchange.
The Configured SIP Binding used by this trunk determines whether it is a Basic SIP trunk or a SIP-T trunk. For a SIP-T trunk, "(SIP-T)" appears at the end of the name displayed for this trunk in the EMS tree view.
For initial configuration of a SIP Trunk, you need to do the following:

Access |
Description |
SIP Trunk name | Change | Unique user-friendly name identifying the SIP Trunk. |
Description | Change | A text field that can be used to store information about the SIP Trunk. Specify a string of up to 64 characters. |
Trunk group number | Change | The Trunk Group ID of the SIP Trunk. Specify a numeric value in the range 0 - 9999. This field is used in billing records to indicate that a call was set up using a circuit on this trunk group. |
Network number | Change | An identifier for the remote network, which will appear in transit billing records for outgoing calls over this trunk. Specify a different number for each remote network, so that all remote exchanges on the same network have the same network number. |
Configured SIP Binding | Change Inactive | A set of parameters defining the connection between the MetaSwitch NE and the SIP device. Click on the search button to select from a list of Configured SIP Bindings with Usage set to Trunk. As a short-cut to select the Configured SIP Binding, you can type match details into the field and click on the search button to select from a list of items that match these details. Match details can be a text string, a wildcard string such as B*, or a range such as CA-FL. For more details, refer to the description of the Details panel in Operations Manual: Overview. |
Force echo cancellation on inbound calls | Change | Specifies whether the MetaSwitch NE or the remote system should provide echo cancellation for incoming calls on this trunk. Values:

Specifies the billing number which may be output in CNA billing records generated for incoming calls on this SIP Trunk. Either leave this field blank, or specify a ten digit number. |
CNA billing for incoming calls - include charge number | Change | This field does not appear if Configured SIP Binding identifies a Basic SIP binding rather than a SIP-T binding. It appears only if Supported call directions is not set to Outgoing only, and either Billing - incoming terminating CDR type or Billing - incoming tandem CDR type is set to CNA (720/0625) upon LNP query or CNA (720/0625) always.
Specifies whether the charge number should be included in CNA billing records. Values:
