FreePBX v12 Trunk setup with Flowroute's new PoP service

[lentilbean]

In case there is someone else that is looking for help in setting up FreePBX v12 with Flowroute, here is what I did:

1. In Flowroute I picked my favorite PoP (us-east-nj). Will need the IP addresses of the PoP servers in the next step.
2. In my router I forwarded ports TCP 5060 and UDP 5060 limiting WAN users to the IPs of Flowroute’s servers as mentioned in step 1. I also forwarded UDP ports 10000 to 20000 accepting traffic from all WAN IPs.
3. I created a trunk called ‘flowroute’ and used the following peer config:

---

context=from-trunk
fromdomain=sip.flowroute.com
fromuser=USERNAME
host=sip.flowroute.com
insecure=port,invite
secret=PASSWORD
type=peer
defaultuser=USERNAME
disallowed_methods=UPDATE
directmedia=no
videosupport=no
disallow=all
allow=ulaw

---

Used the following register string: USERNAME:[email protected].

4. Added the following text to the file sip_custom_post.conf:

---

[flowroute1](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.192

[flowroute2](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.193

[flowroute3](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.194

[flowroute4](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.195

[flowroute5](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.196

[flowroute6](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.197

[flowroute7](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.198

[flowroute8](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.199

[flowroute9](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.200

[flowroute10](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.201

[flowroute11](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.202

[flowroute12](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.203

[flowroute13](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.204

[flowroute14](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.205

[flowroute15](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.206

[flowroute16](flowroute);
host=147.75.65.207

In the dashboard you should see 17 trunks.
