How to Configure Airtel SIP Trunk on FreePBX/Asterisk
Setting up a telecom voice trunk requires technical static routing rules and SIP trunk options configuration. Here is the step-by-step workflow:
Physical Feasibility & Link Commissioning
The telecom operator delivers a dedicated fiber cable to your server room. This is terminated into an ONT or dynamic gateway router which segregates the VoIP network.
Configure Router Static Routes
Set up a static routing policy on your main gateway firewall (e.g. Sophos, Fortinet, Mikrotik) to direct all SIP and media traffic destined for the operator softswitch IP through the dedicated gateway port.
Create SIP Trunk Peer in PBX
Inside FreePBX or Asterisk, create a new SIP/PJSIP trunk. Add the host details (Registrar/Proxy IP provided by Airtel), select codecs (G711a/G729), and set authentication to "None/Static IP".
Configure Inbound and Outbound Routes
Map your DID numbers to ring groups or IVR system in Inbound Routes. Map outbound dial patterns (like dialing 9 before call) to route outbound voice calls through this new trunk.

Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Why is my Airtel SIP trunk showing registration timeout?
Airtel SIP trunks do not use registration strings; they rely on static IP routing. A registration timeout (like 408) usually indicates that your firewall is blocking port 5060 or that the static routing rules on your router are not sending traffic through Airtel's physical gateway gateway.
❓ Does Airtel support SIP trunk failover?
Yes, Airtel supports geo-redundant failover configurations. You can set up primary and secondary SBC gateways on your PBX (like FreePBX or Cisco CUCM) to ensure seamless automatic switching.
❓ How can I get an Airtel SIP trunk quote?
Airtel SIP trunk pricing is custom-tailored. You can get an expert quote and layout plan by calling +91 75999-67999. We will design the voice topology and assist you with the entire onboarding process.
