Fonoster configuration

Log into your Fonoster's account and go to your workspace, here: https://app.fonoster.com/.

Follow these steps to prepare your Fonoster's application and trunk.

Create an Application

This will be the voice application that will answer your calls.

To create one, go to Applications and click on Create New Application.

Most of the Settings here can be adjusted based on your Voice Application needs. For testing all you need is this:

Friendly Name: Any name of your choice

Application type: Autopilot

Application endpoint: Blank

Click on Save Voice Application when done.

 For more information about how to configure your application check Fonoster's documentation.

Create an Access Control List

You have to create a ACL for the VoIP.ms server you will use to receive calls in your Fonoster application (this must be the same as the POP server of your DID number(s)).

To do it, go to SIP Network >> ACLs and click on Create New ACL.

Use these parameters for the ACL:

Friendly Name: Any name of your choice

Network Rules:

• IP or CIDR: IP address of the VoIP.ms server (E.g. 208.100.60.32/24)
• Category: Allow

Click on Save ACL when done.

 To check the full list of VoIP.ms servers and their IP addresses visit: Choosing_Server.

Create a SIP trunk

Now you have to add trunk in Fonoster to handle your calls.

For this, go to SIP Network >> Trunks and click on Create New SIP Trunk.

Use these parameters for the SIP trunk:

Friendly Name: Any name of your choice

Inbound SIP URI: [Any name].sip.fonoster.com (E.g. voipms.sip.fonoster.com)

Access Control List (ACL): The ACL created on the previous step

Click on Save SIP trunk when done.

Link a VoIP.ms DID number

Lastly, you'll link a DID number available in your VoIP.ms account.

To link a DID go to SIP Network >> Numbers and click on Create Number.

Use these parameters for the Number:

Friendly Name: Any name of your choice

Trunk: The SIP trunk created on the previous step

Country: The country of your DID

City: The city of your DID

Tel URL: tel:+[Country Code][DID number] (E.g. tel:+1772219999)

Select Inbound Application: The application created on the Step #1

Click on Save Number when done.

VoIP.ms configuration

Once Fonoster configuration is complete you can start routing your DIDs to the SIP trunk that was configured on Fonoster.

Currently this is only possible using a customer SIP URI so, follow these steps to create one in your VoIP.ms Customer Portal.

Create a SIP URI

In your VoIP.ms Customer Portal go to DID Numbers >> SIP URIs, and then click on Add SIP URI.

Use these parameters for the SIP URI:

SIP URI: +[Country Code][DID number]@[Fonoster Inbound SIP URI] (E.g. [email protected])

Description: Any description your want

CallerID Override: None

CallerID E164: Disabled

Click on Save when done.

Route the DID number to the SIP URI

Finally, you have to route your DID number to the SIP URI that was created on the previous step.

To do it, go to DID Numbers >> Manage DIDs, and then click on Edit (the pencil icon).

Once on the Edit DID Settings page, for Main routing select SIP URI and the SIP URI that was created.

Clic on Apply changes at the end of the page when done.

That's it! If you call your DID number the calls should be answered by your Fonoter's Voice Application.
