Signaling incoming calls

For reliable call assignment, you need to know in which format your PBX can route incoming calls. easybell tranfers phone numbers in the format E.164.

In the E.164 format, the international area code is given without leading zeros, e.g. “43” for Austria.

SIP authentication for outgoing calls

To set up a VoIP call, the calling party first sends a SIP invite. In addition to the technical framework, these SIP packages also contain information about the identity of the caller. A separate SIP invite is also generated for call forwarding.

For our infrastructure to process outgoing calls correctly, please use the following scheme:

InformationHead in SIP package
SIP user name in“SIP from address User Part”
CLIP / user-provided Number (UPN) in“From-Display”, “P-Asserted-Identity” (PAI), “P-Preferred-Identity” (PPI) or “Remote Party ID”
