This wiki explains how to use the FreePBX SIPSTATION Module in conjunction with SIPStation SIP Trunk service. The SIPSTATION Module helps you configure your trunks, routes, and DIDs in just a few clicks. This wiki assumes you have already set up a SIPStation account as described in our wiki "Creating a SIPStation Account."
| Info |
|---|
The SIPSTATION Module, when combined with a SIPStation SIP Trunk account, provides a quick and easy method for getting a SIP Trunk online and ready to go fast. In general, there is not much to adjust here besides pointing your new DIDs or adding an Area Code for 7-digit dialing. |

Navigate to your SIPSTATION Module, where you should see a screen like this:
Log into the SIPStation Store from within the module. If you have multiple registrations, the system will ask you to choose one.
Click "My Account."
click on the Account Configuration tab
You will see your FreePBX Module Keycode. You are going to need to copy it, but it is very long, so we recommend that you simply click the "Copy to Clipboard" button to copy the information to your computer's clipboard.
Scroll back up the page in your SIPSTATION Module and look for the Account Key field. Paste your account key into this field.
Click "Add Key" to connect your SIPStation service to FreePBX.
After you have entered your key, your screen might look like this:
Click the "Apply Config" button at the top of the module.

Managing an Account Key, Refreshing Account Info, & Running a Firewall Test
...
Remove Key- Removes the account key but leaves the trunks intact.
Remove Key & Delete Trunks- Removes the account key and removes the trunks.
Refresh Asterisk Account Info- Updates the module to reflect changes you've made in your SIPStation account. For example, if you purchase a new DID, you will would want to come back to the SIPSTATION module and update the account information by clicking this button followed by the "Apply Config" button.
Run Firewall Test- Running the firewall test will tell you if you have RTP media port forwarding set up correctly on an external firewall. Note that it is recommended that you do set up SIP RTP port forwarding for the full sip media port range, as it will provide more reliable audio for SIP Trunking. You can read more about port forwarding in our wiki "Configuring your PBX or device with SIPStation Service."
Your firewall test should come back with a "PASS" status

Route and Trunk Configuration
...
Area Code- You may enter an Area Code if you wish your trunks to allow 7-digit dialing. You must ensure 7-digit dialing is enabled for your Outbound Routes. More information on this topic is available in our "Outbound Routes Module User Guide" wiki.
Routes- By using the gw1 and gw2 toggles, you may set which outbound routes use these trunks.
...
DID Configuration is found at the bottom of the module. Here you will see a list of your DIDs, a description (if desired), and where the DID is routed to. If a DID is routed to an extension, you can choose whether you would like the extension CID to be set as the DID. You can also set failover numbers for each DID, change the Emergency CID, and see the information for the most recent inbound call. The color of the DIDs relates to their E911 status, which is explained in our "E911 Service" wiki. If you make any changes here, click the "Update DID Configurations" button followed by the "Apply Config" button.
