Hi, If you’ve used Prophecy 8 for IVR development, you probably found that configuring a SIP Gateway was quite easy. Voxeo is all about making Telephony easy. In Prophecy 9, we have done tons of work on the interface and management console to make day to day operations easier – but to configure connectivity to a SIP gateway – there are a few steps to go through to set it up.

In this doc, I’m going to walk you though setting up Voxeo Prophecy 9 for SIP Trunking – so that you can send VoIP calls to the SIP Gateway provider of your choice. I’ll be discussing SIP Registration in the next few weeks in a separate blog.

To get started, you first need to download and install Voxeo Prophecy 9 from www.voxeo.com/Prophecy. Prophecy 9 is a completely new platform – with tons of new goodies and sweet yummy yumminess. You definitely want to see it.

The free Prophecy 9.0 software download includes 2 free ports.

After you have downloaded it to your (this is not a typo) Windows – MAC – or Linux environment, follow the instructions below to install the platform.

INSTALLATION:

When you first run the Prophecy download it will guide you through the installation of the full set of Voxeo tools and services. The evaluation version comes with a fully functional 30-day license key, and you can upgrade to a permanent free license at any time simply by registering the software.

After the installation is complete you should have the following new services running:

* Voxeo Prophecy Server, including Voxeo’s CCXML, CallXML, and MRCP servers * Voxeo Prophecy VoiceXML Browser, the Voxeo VoiceXML 2.1-compliant server * Voxeo Prophecy Management Console, including a web server with full PHP support * Voxeo Prophecy Application Sever, including a web server with full Java servlet/JSP support * Voxeo Designer, including the Designer server and visual development tool

A menu item is also installed that allows you to access the following utilities:

* Prophecy Home, a web-based user interface that includes Prophecy Commander to assist in configuring your new software (The default p/w and usernames are: admin and admin). * Log Viewer, an interactive syslog server that allows you to easily view and filter the output from the Voxeo services * SIP Phone, a fully functional SIP phone that you can use to test your applications * Start, will start each of the Voxeo Prophecy services * Stop, will stop each of the Voxeo Prophecy services * Restart, will stop and then restart each of the Voxeo Prophecy services * Automatically Start, allows designation of Prophecy services that should start automatically

To Configure SIP Trunking:

Right click on the blue Voxeo V in the lower right task bar and go to “Prophecy Home”, when the Voxeo web management console appears, choose “Prophecy Commander”.

Login into the Prophecy Commander Console using the default (Admin/Admin) creds and select Manage, then Servers.

You should now see your Server listed, this is where you will set your configurations.

while in Manage/server 1. Click “New” above the Install ID, a new server config box will appear. go to IDENTITY TAB Input Name = name of Server Input Host IP Input Install ID = (leave blank) Input Site = (leave as) Default

go to CONFIGURATION TAB go to Services/ click “ADD” go to Gateway, select tab to expose options Select VoIP Gateway (v.1.0) Select SAVE from the top menu choice

2. Next, double click on the created gateway – check for Gateway * VoIP Gateway – and set the Port to 5060 (or whatever is required)

3. Go to Manage/Groups Create New Input Name = VoIP Group (or whatever you like) Select Member groups mode = Union SELECT the Gateway (VOIP GATEWAY)(Click – then Arrow over) Save the Group settings

4. Go to Manage/Virtual Platform Click on Default (at the top portion of the screen) Go down to Edit Virtual Platform – click on whatever is in (ROLE) as Gateway Double Click on this Resource (gateway) Click on new (far Left) Group: Drop down the Group name you just created (VoIP Group) Service: Drop down the VoIP Gateway 1.0 Service: Priority: 1 (or more) (this sets the priority for multiple gateways) Save your Virtual Platform setting

That’s it! You’ve now configured a SIP Trunk in Prophecy 9!
