Introduction
These Notes describe the procedures for configuring Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Trunking between
service provider AccessLine and a Cisco Unified Communications 540.
Prerequisites for Configuring Cisco Unified Communications 540 with AccessLine SIP Trunks
The AccessLine SIP Trunking service referenced within these Notes is designed for business customers.
The service enables local and long distance PSTN calling via standards-based SIP trunks directly as an
alternative to legacy analog or digital trunks, without the need for additional TDM enterprise gateways
and the associated maintenance costs.

This can also be used for testing inbound calls and has been setup as the
default for outbound CLI. The following additional test number has also been
provisioned.

Firewall/Router Setup
Make sure that Ports are forwarded from your router to your internal IP address of your IP office
system.
SIP-based VOIP enabled PBX or SIP phones connected to AccessLine’s Service via our SIP trunking service
MUST be installed in a secure trusted zone behind a Firewall and not exposed to the public internet. This
means the PBX or SIP phones should never be put into a router's DMZ (allows untrusted access).
The firewall must block all inbound internet (untrusted) traffic to the PBX or SIP phones. The firewall
can be configured to allow inbound traffic from trusted devices from remote (satellite) locations.
You do not have to block outbound traffic from your private network to the internet, but Network-
Address-Translation, or “NAT” must be enabled. NAT allows the AccessLine Service to send calls to the
PBX or SIP Phones. If the firewall has multiple NAT settings, you must select the NAT setting that
“Address Restricted” and not “Endpoint Independent”. If you do want to limit outbound internet traffic
on the firewall, then you need to open SIP related ports on the firewall to allow AccessLine’s Service to
function properly.
Protocol Port(s)
UDP 6060+
