Bandwidth.com trunk setup methods

Posted March 18th, 2008 by ja133

Since asterisk 1.4, many users are having difficulties placing outgoing calls using bandwidth.com. The famous "all circuits are busy" annoys everyone.

Well, here's a solution.

If you do not want to use a trunk for inbound calls (and just have bandwidth.com deliver your incoming calls their preferred way, via IP address), then one of these three configurations will work. I live in New York so I am showing you how to set up the trunk using the Eastern server as the primary route. You may change this.
Remember, if you get "all circuts are busy", go to the next method. Not all of them will work for you.
Method A will most likely NOT work with asterisk 1.4 users

In all methods, make sure that in the Dial Rules for EACH trunk, there is a line containing:
011.|
since bandwidth.com doesn't pass calls with the 011 prefix

Method A:
Trunk 1:
Trunk name: Bandwidth-Maryland
Outgoing dial prefix: +
PEER Details:
type=peer
port=5060
nat=yes
host=216.82.224.202
dtmfmode=rfc2833
disallow=all
canreinvite=no
allow=ulaw

Trunk 2:
Trunk name: Bandwidth-Georgia
Outgoing dial prefix: +
PEER Details:
type=peer
port=5060
nat=yes
host=4.79.212.236
dtmfmode=rfc2833
disallow=all
canreinvite=no
allow=ulaw

Trunk 3:
Trunk name: Bandwidth-California
Outgoing dial prefix: +
PEER Details:
type=peer
port=5060
nat=yes
host=216.82.225.202
dtmfmode=rfc2833
disallow=all

allow=ulaw

Method B:

Trunk 2:
Trunk name: Bandwidth-Georgia
Outgoing dial prefix: +

In outound routes, here is my order:

Route name: Out
Dial Plan:
1NXXNXXXXXX
011.
911
411

Trunk sequence:
0: SIP/Bandwidth-Maryland
1: SIP/Bandwidth-Georgia
2: SIP/Bandwidth-California

And that's all
