Configuring SIP connectivity

After enabling the Unify Phone integration, the next step is to configure SIP connectivity. This process establishes a secure communication path between the Unify Phone service and the customer’s PBX system.

Note: SIP connectivity configuration is currently applicable only for CloudLink accounts integrated with MiVoice 5000—meaning the account's system inventory must include a MiVoice 5000 system.

Starting the SIP connectivity configuration

  1. Access the Integrations panel from the Account Information page or from the Integrations & Apps option.

  2. Click the Available features drop-down list under the Unify Phone integration.

  3. Click Complete Setup next to SIP Connectivity.

    The SIP Connectivity Configuration page opens.

    SIP Connectivity Configuration: Select PBX type
  4. Select the appropriate PBX Type from the drop-down list.

    If only one PBX type is available, it will be preselected and the field will be disabled.

  5. Click Save.

    Important: Once saved, the PBX type selection cannot be changed. To modify it, you have to remove the Unify Phone integration, re-add it to the account, and repeat the setup steps.

Adding and managing SIP trunks

After completing the initial SIP connectivity configuration, you can add SIP trunks to establish communication between Unify Phone and the customer’s PBX system. Youc an also edit, delete, sort, and search for trunks as needed.
