My trixbox was using PBXes as a trunk.
I tried to tweak the connection (in order to be able to dialout of my asterisk) but it didn't work. Now I'd like to revert to what the setup was (working anyway) and am unable to.
Setup is extension in PBXes and Trunk (peer and user) on the local Trixbox.
I have a dynamic IP address locally (which is really the main reason for using PBXes) and when the Trunk tries to Register with PBXes (on debug) it is trying using the local network address of the Asterisk server so PBXes is unable to accept the registration.
Let me document it here so perhaps it'll be of use to someone else.
On PBXes it's obviously a simple exercise of creating an extension.. say it's extension 200 and password is 1234
Important: If you don't receive calls (although the extension is registered in the status screen try changing the
SIP/200 (in pbxes extension screen) to
SIP/7777@user.dyndns.org (or whatever your dynamic dns is called)
Create a trunk in trixbox (mine's an ancient version but I'm sure it'll make some sense even to more "modern" users)
The PEER entry given an appropriate title as in perhaps
pbxesuser-200
allow=ulaw&alaw
context=from-trunk
disallow=all
dtmfmode=info
fromuser=yrPBXesuser-200
host=pbxes.org
insecure=very
nat=yes
realm=pbxes.org
secret=1234
type=friend
userid=yrPBXesuser-200
username=yrPBXesuser-200
The USER entry is not necessary
Finally, no Register statement should be used
At first I tried using a qualify=yes statement that resulted in my Trixbox thinking it's not registered. Since pbxes is "highly available" it's not really necessary.
Hope this helps (my family was really going to kill me if this were not solved-considering the amount of time I spend on this!!)
P.S. I am still unable to dial from that extension (i.e. if I am a DISA user, dtmf is not recognized) but have not spent time fixing that.

In the extension in pbxes, if you have a dynamic dns host name you can try changing the SIP/extnum to SIP/7777@dyndnsurl
(note: 7777 is what simulates a call on my server - the default)
i.e. SIP/7777@myserver.dyndns.org
Once it arrives on the server do what you need to to receive the call.. e.g. direct it to a specific extension or group.. by creating inbound routes. I'm even able to direct calls based on caller ID.
I have not been successful (at all) in using inbound routes on pbxes based on trunk - I have not tried from the trunk, only from inbound routes.
