Howdy,
A complete newb here to all-things SIP (except sipping on that day-old Slurpee). Anyway, I signed up (and paid) for e911 with
Bulkvs.com, and needless to say, that was about the easiest part. After that, I was given this convoluted setup INSTRUCTION, which I'm still questioning whether it's written in English. I paste it here verbatim for your viewing pleasure:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interconnection Guide:
Add the IP address of your Softswitch or PBX to SIP Hosts under 911 Dashboard
Send calls to 911@sip.bulkvs.com
SRV record is present and recommended
E911 SIP Peers in case SRV is not supported:
199.255.157.198
108.166.172.198
UDP Port: 5060
To verify address as currently in 911 DB, call 922@sip.bulkvs.com
Any call from a number not added to E911 DB will be Rejected with SIP 503
Ensure that the Caller ID is set to one of following formats:
10 Digits, ex: "3109060901"
11 Digits, ex: "13109060901"
E.164, ex: "+13109060901"
Caller ID in any other format will be rejected--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So far, here's where I stand as far as configuring Obi with my limited understanding:
1) I input "sip.bulkvs.com" as Service Provider Proxy Server and "5060" for Proxy Server Port.
2) I leave Outbound Proxy and Port blank.
3) Obi then spits out an error: "Register Failed: 401 Unauthorized" (Back to square 1, ya fool!)
BTW, how do I call "911@sip.bulkvs.com" on Obi202?
Any help would be appreciated.
