Thanks. Our entire IT model is around centralization, so we wanted to keep as much of this centralized as possible. These are small offices with no IT staff to assist in any hardware failure. Even if I have to put something running sixbridge local, I would still likely set the phones to register at corporate and voicemail at corporate, unless I found a reason that wouldn't work.

No. There needs to be a system running sipxbridge at the remote site to anchor the media. At the same time, this would be used to register the local phones and be the voicemail system for it. They should be "planned" to be able to dial each other, etc.

    Thanks. The primary focus isn't for dialing from site to site. It
    is trying to keep from having to come through our server at
    corporate when a remote facility is calling or receiving a call
    to/from the PSTN. We don't want to have remote sipx systems if we
    can help it. These are small remote facilities.
    Is it impossible to support what Verizon describes with
    centralized Sipx setup?

    sipXbridge is a media anchor.

    You would connect remote sipx systems and connect them to verizon
    as you have your central system. You would then create a dialplan
    to allow them to route calls directly between each other (sipx to
    sipx).

        Excuse my ignorance here if I'm butchering some terminology.
        After a
        pretty successful roll out at our corporate office, we are
        looking
        possible implementations at some of our remote facilities
        that have old
        dying key systems. All our facilities are connected to our
        corporate
        office by Verizon T1 MPLS links. From a network perspective,
        they do
        have the ability to hit the Verizon cloud directly without
        coming back
        to our corporate office first. Verizon is our VOIP provider.
        Our desire
        is to send the RTP traffic from a remote facility directly to
        Verizon
        without coming to corporate first. We do not want to put any
        equipment
        at the facility, except the handsets. We want to utilize our
        central
        Sipx server(s) at our corporate office. Verizon says they can
        let the
        sip traffic go through through corporate, but then route the
        RTP traffic
        directly out the local port. This is the description from
        Verizon on how
        this works:

        "The term we use for allowing the RTP media to flow directly
        from our
        VoIP node (SBC) directly to your remote office is called “Media
        Release”. The opposite of that is “Media Anchor” (aka hair
        pining) which
        requires the media to “anchor” to the IP PBX and uses 2x the
        bandwidth
        into and back out to the remote."

        Is this something Sipx supports? I tried Googling Sipx and "media
        release" but I don't get any hits. Maybe there is a different
        term I
        should be using. We have Cisco routers at each location if
        that is
        relevant.

        Sipx 4.0.4, sixbridge, Verizon VOIP, No firewall (not needed,
        private
        connection), Polycom 450s and 550s - bootrom 4.2.1, firmware
        3.1.3C split.

        Thanks as always,
        Matthew

    Because 31 Oct = 25 Dec.
