Use the below step-by-step guide to add and configure your SIP Trunks
- To get started navigate to the SIP Trunk section located on the left-hand navigation bar.
- Select the "SIP Trunks" tab
- Click the "Add SIP Trunk" button
Name your SIP Trunk
Give your SIP Trunk a friendly name using letters, spaces, and numbers. This is the name that will appear under the "Usage" section in the "Account ID" column of your monthly invoice.
- Special characters are not accepted
- Max name length allowed length is 116 characters
SIP Connection
- Select how you would like to terminate your outgoing traffic (for example MS Teams to or Regular SIP Trunk).
Authentication Type
Method of authentication to ensure outbound calls through the SIPTrunk can be uniquely authorized.
Basic
- Enter your Username and Password
-
Ensure that the username matches the From header user or the To header user
IP ADDRESS
- Enter one or more required IP Address
- If this is a shared platform, please provide additional information for authentication, such as the SIP header or username/secret on top of the IP address.
SIP HEADER
Not everyone can support Basic Authentication from a shared platform. In this case, you will need a SIP Header, which means you can add a special header and value to the message to prove the message is yours.
- Header Name: Add special header name for SIP invite
- Header Value: Add the special header value for the SIP invite
- Protocol: Select your ideal transport protocol
-
SIP Invite Message Examples - Consider the following SIP message as an example:

Configuring Third-Party Platforms
Use the below quick links to view the relevant configuration guide:
Note: Each SIP Trunk can have a different Authentication Type, meaning you can have several SIP Trunks with different authentication types. However, when configuring an individual SIP Trunks you can only select one authentication type.
Downloading SIP URI TLS Certificate
Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates, also known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), work the same as HTTPS and are crucial for securing internet browser connections through data encryptions. Similar to HTTPS when a browser tries to connect using TLS the secure web certificate is sent. As a customer, you can configure and manage the TLS/SRTP within your AVOXI online portal. Certificates are used for authentication and encryption.
There is an SSL (TLS) certificate for trunk-production-us1.avoxi.com used for calls coming from the user to the AVOXI Genius platform, and peer.avoxi.io for calls leaving AVOXI Genius. As an AVOXI Administrator you are required to manually load the certificate during the configuration process to ensure the TLS connection are made (example sip.avoxi.com:5061).
Use the below steps to download the required certificate file from within your AVOXI online application.
- Navigate to the SIP Trunks section located on the left-hand navigation bar.
- Click on the SIP URIs tab.
- Select the three buttons located to the right of the "+Add" button
-
Simply click on the "Download SIP URI TLS Certificate"
Call Recording
Calls will only record if the call recording feature has been enabled at an organizational level. As an Administrator, you can easily manage your business call recording settings within your online platform. Use the following self-help guide to turn your recording on/off, and manage retention settings. When deleting a SIP Trunk this will not delete the call recordings.
