IAX2 Trunking Two Trixbox Servers

Here is the method I am currently using to connect two trixbox servers. This is all done using freePBX. Dialing 5XXX on either server reaches extension XXX on the other. This can be modified as needed.

Use find & replace in a text editor to change the actual values:

   Server1 : Name of Server1 (arbitrary)
   Server2 : Name of Server2 (arbitrary)
   Server1IPAddress : ip address of server 1
   Server2IPAddress : ip address of server 2
   Server1User : user acct for server 1 (arbitrary)
   Server2User : user acct for server 2 (arbitrary)
   Server1Secret : password for server 1 (arbitrary)
   Server2Secret : password for server 1 (arbitrary)

Then you can cut & paste the sections into the proper forms. Server1 Configuration

Create new IAX2 Trunk: Trunk Name: Server2

Peer Details: context=from-internal host=Server2IPAddress qualify=yes secret=Server2Secret type=peer username=Server2User

User Context: Server1User

User Details: context=from-internal host=Server2IPAddress secret=Server1Secret type=user

Create outbound route: Dial Patterns: 5|XXX trunk Sequence: IAX2/Server2 Server2 Configuration
