Configuring Third-Party Platforms
Use the below quick links to view the relevant configuration guide:
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. Like HTTPS, the secure web certificate is sent when a browser tries to connect using TLS. As a customer, you can configure and manage the TLS/SRTP within your AVOXI Genius portal. Certificates are used for authentication and encryption.
An SSL (TLS) certificate for trunk-production-us1.avoxi.com is used for calls from the user to the AVOXI Genius platform and peer.avoxi.io for calls leaving AVOXI Genius. If you are running a modern operating system for your PBX, you shouldn't need to load anything extra to get a TLS connection to work, but we offer the certificate file for edge cases.
You can download the certificate file from your AVOXI Genius tenant using the following steps.
- Log into Genius at genius.avoxi.com.
- 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
-
Click on the "Download SIP URI TLS Certificate."
Call Recording
Calls will only be recorded 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.
