SIP Trunking Feature
For business trying to save money on telecommunications tariffs, conventional technology requires
separate services for data and voice. This can be inefficient because data isn’t carried over the un-used
voice service, and voice isn’t carried over the available data service. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Trunking allows the two services to be combined onto a single more efficient service. Unlike gateway
based solutions, Toshiba’s MIPU card with SIP trunking costs less and allows SIP Trunking to be
supported natively in the phone system along with remote IP phones, softphones, WiFi phones, IP based
voicemail and IP based ACD applications.
SIP Trunking allows the CIX to get PRI like services from an Internet Telephony Service Provider using
Session Initiation Protocol.
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is an application layer protocol used for establishing sessions in an IP
network. SIP is a very rich and extensible protocol and, similar to HTTP and SMTP, SIP is a text-based
protocol. The power of SIP lies in the fact that it allows a user on a SIP enabled device to communicate
with other users on SIP enabled devices (IP PBX, SIP phone, SIP Softphone) regardless of geography.
SIP Trunking harnesses the power of the SIP protocol to route a VoIP call over the carrier’s IP backbone to
any IP address worldwide.
Toshiba implements SIP trunking using our new MIPU card. The MIPU is designed from the ground up as
a VoIP card able to support IP stations, Strata Net IP, and now SIP trunking. With the SIP Trunking
capability of the new MIPU card, companies are no longer committed to having to purchase different types
trunk cards and the bundles of physical wires to host analog, PRI and BRI trunks. With the MIPU
implementation of SIP Trunking, companies are able to leverage their existing Toshiba CIX R4.x (and later)
PBX systems with just the purchase of MIPU cards, an update to R5.10 MS18 software, and
corresponding license. SIP Trunking is meant to simplify IP PBX trunking capability by replacing all of
these traditional PSTN lines with one SIP Trunking device hosted by SIP Trunking provider on the internet.
For companies that already have a networking infrastructure, there are no additional networking devices
required to implement SIP Trunking.
In essence, SIP Trunking offers ISDN-like features over a data connection (i.e. T1 circuit). However, unlike
a traditional T1 circuit, a SIP Trunking enabled circuit does not have to be physically provisioned and
divided to separate the voice channels from the data channels.

SIP Trunking Network Configuration Example
There are many ways to set up a public IP address for the MIPU. The most common way is to simply run
an ethernet cable from one of the WAN interfaces on the router straight to the MIPU.

Programming
Programming the MIPU card
1. Set the card type for the slot holding the MIPU
2. Choose the type of MIPU for use in the system. The number of channels entered must match the
number of channels on the card.

Programming

Programming the Incoming Line Group
1. For SIP trunk programming you start with an ILG and OLG assignment.
2. For ILG Programming create an ILG group (In this example Group Number 8).
3. FB01 - Trunk type- select SIP
4. FB03 - CO service type- DID
5. FB11 - Number of DID Digits- number of incoming digits to use from the dialed number to route the
call.
DID routing must be set up to route incoming SIP calls to their desired destinations. That programming is
the same as any other trunk group type. If that routing is not set up incoming INVITEs (calls) will fail.
Note:SIP trunking requires a license for each trunk. No channel group can successfully be programmed
without a license.
SIP trunking is supported by the MIPU card only. It can share connections of its ports between stations and
IPTs and other IPU devices. The IPTs are the only devices that are can be assigned equipment number
0000. That is, SIP stations, VM ports, SIP trunks and attendant consoles are fixed resources. IPTs do not
need to be fixed assignments (unless they are assigned a fixed equipment number, not 0000).

Programming the Outgoing Line Group
1. Create a new OLG and designate it as SIP.
2. FB01 - Group type: SIP
3. The rest are left at the default value.
4. An OLG access code must be created for this group.

Creating the Channel Group
1. Go to IP Telephony > SIP trunking. The first tab is Channel Group setting, Program 326.
2. Channel Group Setting - In this example SIP Trunk Channel Group 8 is created.
3. FB01 - Equipment Number - Enter the Cabinet number and slot number (four digits). In this example
0203.
4. FB02 - LAN interface number = 1 (MIPU only has one interface)
5. FB03 - Strata Net Channels – The TOTAL number of ports on this card that are going to be dedicated
to SIP Trunking. On further tabs, each OLG or ILG can be for a different service provider and still be in
the same channel group. This entry is the total number of trunks from ALL the service providers
6. FB04 - RBT tone on incoming call - Enable for the CIX to provide RBT (ring back tone). Coordinate this
response with the Internet Service Provider (ISP) trunk provider

Service definition
The Service Definition tab is where the ISP providing the SIP trunk service is defined. There may be
several ISPs per channel Group.
Required Entries:
1. Create the Service Kind Table Index - start with index 1 if desired
2. FB01 – Registration Mode: Client (default)
3. FB02 – ILG: Use the previously created ILG number
4. FB03 – OLG: Use the previously created OLG Number
5. FB04 – Effective Channel Number: Number of SIP trunks provided by this ISP
6. FB05 – Domain Name: FQDN (fully qualified domain name) of this ISP.
7. FB06 – SIP Server: The IP address of the ISP. This can be found by doing a NSLOOKUP of the FB05
domain name. The entry can be the FQDN or IP address of the SBC (Session Border Controller) or
ALG (Application Layer Gateway). If you are not using SBC or ALG leave this entry blank.
8. These are the only mandatory program entries. The rest can be default for now.

Service Assignment
The Service Assignment tab must be completed before entries are made on the next tab. If not completed,
entries attempted in the URI tab will not save.
Important! After URI entries are made in URI tab changing this program will DELETE all the URIs
programmed. Once this is set, do not change it.
1. FB01 – Channel Group (8 in this example)
2. FB02 – Select the “service number” by clicking on one of the table’s line entries. Use the drop down
box to select the ISP to which the URIs belong. This is to match the “service kind table index” number
of the desired ISP. On the next tab programming will begin to enter the URIs (directory numbers) that
are associated with this ISP.

URI Programming
The SIP URI is effectively the DN that the ISP is going to provide. The MIPU is going to register each DN
as a UA (User agent). Each UA will appear to the ISP like a SIP station. When the URI DN is dialed (from
outside) the ISP will send a SIP INVITE, as if it were a call to a SIP station. But, an outbound call using one
of the UAs does not busy-out the UA against an incoming call, that is a key difference of SIP trunks. Refer
to the program screen on the next page.
1. FB00 – SIP URI Trunk Service Index: The service Kind index that defines the ISP. If for instance, the
service kind is Cbeyond, enter the DNs provided from Cbeyond.
2. FB01 – SIP URI Index: Click the “index” line in the table to select one of the indexes (1-160), for
CIX100 select from 1 - 72.
3. FB02 – SIP URI: This will be the DN of the URI
4. FB03 – SIP URI User Name: Typically this is the DN but, could be a name provided by the ISP.
5. FB04 – SIP URI password, the same as the authentication password, if required. If the ISP is set for
authentication when registering a URI the SIP registration is sent to the ISP (without password). Then
the ISP will “challenge” the registration. The MIPU will send the registration again with the password
encoded by the method indicated in the challenge. This registration is accepted based on the
password entered here. When an outbound call is made the same challenge will occur.
6. FB05 – Channel Group Number- this will be filled in automatically when the ADD button is clicked. It
cannot be entered manually.
Important! URIs will register as soon as they are ADDed or MODIFIed. Otherwise all the URI will
register when the MIPU is reset. The UAs will re-register as required before the expiry
time-out occurs.

Configuring the MIPU
1. Go to IP Telephony > IPU Config. Enter the public IP address of the MIPU card provided by the SIP
trunk provider.
2. FB01 – MIPU IP address. Must be a public IP address. The IP address can be static assignment or
assigned by a DHCP server.
3. FB02 – Subnet Mask. As applicable.
4. FB03 – Default Gateway Address. From IT department.
5. There is only one interface on an MIPU, leave the second interface blank.

Configuring the MIPU continued
For a static IP enter the DNS server address. This is critical to SIP trunking. The DNS server is used every
time a call is made as well as during the registration process. After making all these programming entries,
press the reset button on the MIPU. The new data will be absorbed by the MIPU. The MIPU will begin
registration to the ISP.
