Validate a SIP trunk before production

Test authentication, identity, failover, capacity and emergency behavior without customer traffic.

01

Transport and registration

Verify the carrier hostname, port, transport, TLS name and registration interval. An IP-authenticated trunk should not send credentials unnecessarily.

02

Identity and routing

Save one successful and one intentionally rejected test in the carrier acceptance record.

  • Test P-Asserted-Identity and Diversion for direct, forwarded and transferred calls.
  • Confirm DID normalization and outbound prefix removal.
  • Exercise the channel limit and ordered failover trunks.
  • Verify emergency caller identity and dispatchable location separately.
