FAQ
Q
What is meant by PEER Details of issabel?
A
Here you give the PEER connection parameters supplied by your VoIP provider. You may need to add to the provided default settings and in some cases remove default settings depending on your provider or application.
Q
What is the Match pattern in issabel?
A
The dialled number will be compared against the prefix, plus this pattern. Upon a match, this portion of the number will be sent to the trunks after removing the prefix and appending the prepend digits. You can completely replace a number by matching on the prefix only, replacing it with a prepend and leaving the match pattern blank.

To count inbound calls against this maximum, use the auto-generated context: from-trunk-[trunkname] as the inbound trunk’s context (see extensions_additional.conf). Leave blank to specify no maximum.
Q
How is Trunks Module related to the other Modules in issabel?
A
The “Trunks Module” works together with two other modules that you need to know about: The “Outbound Routes Module” and the “Inbound Routes Module.”


When a phone on your system attempts to dial a phone call, the number it dials is compared against the rules set in the Outbound Routes Module. If it matches an allowed rule in the Outbound Routes Module, the call is then sent to the Trunk(s) specified in the Outbound Routes Module. Until you set-up your Outbound Routes, you won’t be able to make any calls, even if you have a trunk set-up.

You can create connections with Internet Telephone Service Providers ("ITSPs"), with other FreePBX/Asterisk systems, with commercial VOIP phone systems, with FXO Gateways (a device that connects an ordinary telephone line with a VOIP phone system using a network connection), and with FXO cards (cards that are installed in your computer and allow you to connect a standard telephone line).
