SIP Trunk from Etisalat

[hasnain.raza]

Hello All, We're setting up a BE6K and we have a SIP trunk from Etisalat which has an RJ45 connection coming to our router. Can someone give us the configuration that needs to be placed on the router to allow calls to flow to and from Etisalat's SIP trunk? All we've got from Etisalat is some bunch of credentials and IP addresses. We appreciate your support in this regard.

You need to be familiar with Cisco CUBE configuration, you may start with the following:

Last but not least the post below refers to Etisalat config on CUBE/CME

I've just received info for an Etisalat trunk we're going to be deploying in the next few weeks (hopefully).  It looks straightforward, they're providing a separate physical connection with private addressing so the CUBE will have a separate inside and outside interfaces.  As is often the case they've not specified codec or number formats, so we'll have to work those out from what they present once it goes live.  It's unclear whether they expect registration/authentication so I'll probably try without and take it from there.

If you get started with a basic config then you can post up how you get on and we can help if there turn out to be any funnies.

Last but not least, there is a post on the community where you can find a configuration example (or part of it) of a CUBE for this provider

Dear All,

To enable CUBE on our router do we just need the below license:

CUBE-T-STD list price of $95?

[TONY SMITH]

That part is the licence for one CUBE trunk session, so order the quantity matching the number of channels you're getting from Etisalat.   Your gateway also needs the UC Feature Set licence, or one of the Cisco One packages including UC features.   Are you ordering a new gateway or adding capabilities to an existing one?

There are also a lot of Cisco Live sessions on CUBE which explain in detail how CUBE works and how it's configured.
