Using a 2 port ATA with Voxalot

jenalcom · 01-28-2007, 07:33 AM

In particular the Sipura 2100.

OK. This is what I want to try and do. I'm not sure if it will work and after reading the FAQs and tutorials and searching the forums I'm still in the dark.

So here goes:

1)The Sipura 2100 has two ports which I will register as two separate IDs with voxalot (eg. 111111 and 222222).

2) I have 3 VSP accounts at the moment (Sipme, Oztell and Mynetfone) which I want BOTH ATA ports to be able to access via dial plans. I believe this should be OK via multiple registrations on the VSPs.

3) Both Voxalot IDs (and their related PSTN numbers) will be registered with e164.org for incoming calls and should forward calls to their respective separate ports on the ATA.

My understanding is that all the above should work fine. The problem comes when we start talking about incoming calls.

Say I have DIDs with both Oztell and Mynetfone. I only want the Oztell DID to ring the first ATA port (Voxalot ID 111111) and I only want the Mynetfone DID ring the second ATA port (Voxalot ID 2222222).

As I have effectively dual registration with both Oztell and Mynetfone via Voxalot then if I am using say Oztell from the ATA port1 (Voxalot ID 111111) and a call comes in on the Oztell DID then it would appear that the phone on the second ATA port will ring (Voxalot ID 222222) which I don't want to happen! The same thing with the Mynetfone DID.

Is there a way to make an incoming DID call from a provider go to only one port? In my case I want the Oztell DID call to only go to ATA port 1 (Voxalot ID 111111) and the Mynetfone DID call to only go to ATA port 2 (Voxalot ID 222222).

I though about using "call Forwarding" but I don't think it will do this. Anybody got any ideas???

Thanks

You can do as I and others do and that is register multiple ports and/or devices with the same voxalot account. They will all ring until one is answered or vm kicks in.

Otherwise, you can enter all providers for outgoing calls and have active set to yes for each required account for incoming -- thus only registering once per VSP account.

Thanks for the reply Affinity.

From what you are saying I should just set active to YES on my port one with Oztell and YES on my port two with Mynetfone and then incoming calls will only ring the specific port and not both. Outgoing calls will go by whatever routing I have in the dial plans.

I kind of thought that may do it after having a sleep on it.

Thanks again

Active means that it is available for making calls, "SIP Register" is for registering for receiving calls.

If you want to use 2x VoXaLot accounts, then make all entries active for both accounts and then only make the appropriate ones "Yes" for "SIP Register".

Thanks again for the reply. Much appreciated.

I am at the stage of trying to get the outbound operational!

At this stage I am just playing with one port only and just two providers, Oztell and Mynetfone (trying to keep the variables to as low a number as possible!).

I have successfully called into my Voxalot number from a PSTN gateway and that works fine.

I have both providers set up as Active = "Yes", SIP Registration = "No" for now, and a simple dial plan such that _6. goes out via Oztell and _08. goes out via Mynetfone.

However I don't seem able to make any outgoing calls. All I get is a busy signal (I can use the "600" echo test though so my ATA is ok).

Both VSPs show in the providers list as Active = "Yes", Status = "-". I guess I just have to wait until the status changes to "registered"(?). But will it do that if I have set the SIP registration to NO for both providers. If not should I still be able to make outgoing calls (I understood yes as the answer)?

Thanks again

Alan

Status is for registered status, not active status. So long as they are active, then you should be able to use them for calling out.

Do the tests on the dial plan screen to see how a dialed number should route. Make sure the result is suitable for the VSP, ie you may need to consider the calling format.
