NetBorder Express SIP to TDM Home
Product Overview
NetBorder Express software, together with Sangomas computer telephony boards, is a complete SIP-compliant VoIP Media Gateway solution, delivering the most flexible and cost effective solution by removing the need for external gateways.Â
Compatible with Analog FXO and FXS, MFC/R2, ISDN BRI and PRI telephony interfaces, NetBorder Express can scale from 2 to 480 simultaneous calls, providing excellent value and flexibility for deployments in any geography.
NetBorder Express communicates with applications such as IP-PBXs, speech enabled IVRs, conferencing servers, contact center or trunking gateways directly with the ubiquitous SIP control protocol to reduce deployment time, complexity and cost for next generation network application deployments.
Â
NetBorder Express software is licensed via a simple online process. You can download a free SOHO version, which is full-featured for up to 12 ports. If you need more than 12 ports, a commercial license is required. Sangoma Telephony hardware must be purchased separately.

What is the basic functionality of NBE?
Outbound (PBX -> Telco) -Â NBE listens on port 5066 for a sip invite from the PBX, once this invite is received NBE places the call out to the telco
Inbound (Telco -> PBX) -Â NBE sends a sip invite to port 5060 which is the port the PBX listens on, once the pbx receives this the call gets setup with the PBX.
Now below is a diagram showing how this all works. Also the ports and IP addresses can be changed using the "Quick Setup" in the NBE manager.
