Adding Telephony Hardware to the Configuration

If the device features any internal telephony ports, they are added to the FSN 3CX PBX Appliance as gateway devices through the 3CX user interface. In this manner, the telephony ports can be utilized to host extensions, or place and receive external calls.

Managing Trunk Ports

Trunk ports are added to the system under the SIP Trunks menu.
Select the SIP Trunks menu, and then Add Gateway.

Select FarSouth as the Brand, and choose the gateway model that matches the trunk ports of your device. Enter the primary DID associated with the trunks, and select the total number of physical trunk ports contained on the device.

Once this has been entered, Navigate to the Options tab of the device's configuration, and enter the MAC address of the iTA device.
The MAC address of any internal iTAs cap be determined by following the instructions presented here.

After adding the MAC address of the gateway, as well as the outbound caller ID, click on the Generate Device Config Button. This will export a configuration file for the trunk ports, which now needs to be uploaded using the Comma-UI, in order for the trunk port's configuration to take effect.

Adding Ports to Outbound Rules

A gateway trunk can be included as an outbound route simply by selecting it as a destination in the "Make outbound calls on" section of the outbound rule.

A video on Advanced Outbound Routing is available here.

Managing Extension Ports

Extension ports are not added as gateways under SIP Trunks, rather, they are added as FXS devices, from the FXS/DEC T menu that is available after expanding the "Advanced
node. Once again, devices are identified by their MAC address, so be sure to have the MAC address of your internal device on hand.
Expand the "Advanced" node, and select FXS/DECT. Then select Add FXS, select FarSouth as the vendor, and then select the model that represents your device's FXS capabilities.

Once the device has been added, navigate to the Extensions tab, and select extensions to occupy the FXS ports.

Confirming Configuration of Hardware Ports

Following the adding of your hardware devices, whether trunk gateways, or FXS, the internal VCX gateway should be configured with the appropriate credentials within 2 minutes.

You can confirm the configuration of the VCX gateway by investigating the status of the trunks and extensions reflected in the 3CX GUI.
Trunks and extensions show a green status once registration has been successful. A red status indicates that the registration has not yet been successful.
