TECHNICAL NOTE ALLOY Author: Adam Wells Date: _ January 30, 2013 ELASTIX AND TOPEX GSM GATEWAY CONFIGURATION SETUP 1. Introduction The purpose of this document is to outline the procedure for creating a SIP trunk between Elastix PBX systems and TopexGSM Gateways to allow for inbound and outbound calls to traverse through one another. This guide will go through steps of adding a SIP trunk in Elastix, configuring Inbound and Outbound call routes, and the setup of the Topex GSM Gateway VoIP and PBX Settings. The equipment and version numbers used for this example are Topex Mobilink-1P- Firmware Version 1.1.40-C10-SFX. IP address: 192.168.1.11 Elastix PBX - Version 1.5.22 IP address: 192.168.1.4 Note: This guide explained will show the basic setup steps with minimal configuration parameters; however this can be expanded upon should your setup require more complex configurations. ‘We will also be performing the entire PBX configuration of Elastix via the Web GUI, however this can be done via Command line Interface if preferredthough this will not be covered in this guide.

To create the SIP Trunk in Elastix, the first step is to log into the web interface with your PBX credentials. Once logged in, select the PBX tab from the top of the screen, and then click the Trunks side menu.

In the example we have used the name topex Peer Details: These are the details of the SIP trunk to the Topex Gateway.

Configuring Outbound Routes with Elastix To configure so outbound calls will be directed to the Topex Gateway, we need to add an outbound route. Click the Outbound Routes menu on the left hand side and select Add Route. Route Name: This is the label of the Route Dial Patterns: imilar to Dial Rules on the previous section. To map all outbound calls to use this route, enter in a full stop. Please note this means ALL of your outbound calls will use this route. Using a Full stop to catch all calls isnot recommended or secure, and is only illustrated here for instructional purposes.

Configuring Inbound Routes with Elastix To configure so inbound calls will be directed to the desired destination, we need to add aninbound route. Click the Inbound Routes menu on the left hand side and select Add Incoming Route.

Changing the IP address of the Topex GSM Gateway To configure the Topex Gateway, the first step is to change the IP address of the Gateway. By default, the IP address is 192.168.173.1. This can be accessed through the web interface with HTTPS. EG https://197.168.173.1 Select IP Settings, then modify the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Server. Click Save, and then Commit on the left hand side. ae (TI EY noni ine ETE) aaSas7. Verifying GSM Connect To Verify the 26/36 sim cardis connected and picking up a signal, this is done via the Mobile Menu Select Mobile, then Settings and click the Load button. From here, it will show if the PIN is ready, and if itis picking up a signal.ALLOY 8. Setting IP Access By Default, the Allowed IP range to use the Topex gateway is 192.168.0.0/16. This will cover any 192.168.0.0 range, however if you have changed the IP address outside of this range you will need to Update the Topex Gateway to reflect on this. To Modify, Select the PBX menu on the left hand side, and then select Access In. Make the necessary changes and select Save and then commit. =a 10ALLOY 9. Configuring the PBX Trunk Settings To send calls between the Topex Gateway and the Elastix PBX, we need to specify the IP address, Protocol and Port numbers of the Elastix PBX on the Topex Gateway. Select PBX and then Settings. PBX IP Address: Enter the IP address of the Elastix PBX, eg 192.168.1.4 Protocol: SIP Port: 5060 Select Save, then Commit a10. Configuring Incoming Calls To configure the destination of inbound calls that come in from the Topex Gateway, this is done from the Incoming calls section. Select the PBX Menu, then Incoming calls. Status:if the rule is Enabled or Disabled Interface: The GSM Card attached to the Topex Gateway. Target: The Destination you want the call to route to. With this field it will set a DID to the call, which will then be managed via the Incoming Routes section of the Elastix PBX. EG in this example we have set the target to 1001. Because we also have 1001 set as a DID in the Incoming Routes section of the PBX this will match. If these two values do not match, it will then divert to a catch all on the Elastix PBX, should one be configured, otherwise the call will drop. Save and then Commit. 2ALLOY 11. Configuring Outgoing Calls No additional configuration is required to allow outbound calls once the SIP trunk has been established between the Elastix PBX and the Topex Gateway. The System should now be ready to use. 3
