  1. To add a PBX connection rule fill in the form by entering:
  • Asterisk PBX address (e.g. asterisk.company.com) and its port in the Host and Port fields
  • Trunk Name and Secret (password) from Step 1 in the Login and Password fields
  • Select the permanent option in the Registration list
  • Check Default SIP trunk and Default VoIP server boxes in the Role category.

Step 3: Call a PBX from TrueConf Client Application

By now, setup is complete, and you can call PBX subscribers using the dialer in our application or by finding a subscriber’s number in the address book. Use the call string with #sip: and #tel: prefixes to identify PBX subscribers when administering the server (creating aliases, requesting API, compiling the address book, etc.).

PBX subscribers can call back, if the server connection rule was added to PBX settings.
