Connecting two sipXecs servers


Two separate sipXecs servers can be configured to be able to dial each other across the Internet or across a WAN.

To enable calling between two (or more) sipXecs PBXs, there are three steps:

  1. 1. Make sure each PBX can resolve pertinent DNS records for the other's domain (SRV if you are using SRV).

  2. 2. Set up an unmanaged gateway on each PBX pointing to the other PBX.

  3. 3. Set up a dial plan used to select the other PBX.

DNS resolution

Each PBX needs to be able to resolve the other server's SIP domain information. The DNS tests described in Chapter 3 must work for the far-side server's domain name.

For example:

sipXecs system 1 has a SIP domain of: boston.xyzcompany.com.

sipXecs system 2 has a SIP domain of: dallas.xyzcompany.com.

  • System 1 must be able to resolve:

    dig -t SRV _sip._udp.dallas.xyzcompany.com
    dig -t SRV _sip._tcp.dallas.xyzcompany.com
    
  • System 2 must be able to resolve:

    dig -t SRV _sip._udp.boston.xyzcompany.com
    dig -t SRV _sip._tcp.boston.xyzcompany.com
