SIP Trunk Setup and Options (IP Whitelisting)

The IP Whitelisting feature lets you send calls directly from your PBX, SBC, or server to PBXme without registering a SIP device — known as the Direct IP method. Recommended for anyone using a static public IP.

If only one account uses that IP, only the IP field is needed.
If multiple customers share the same IP, a Prefix or X-Header must be added to differentiate traffic.
A single account can also whitelist multiple IPs if its traffic may originate from multiple servers.

1	Go to My Account → IP Settings from the top menu.

2	On the IP Whitelist page, click Create to add a new entry.

Fill in the form fields:

Name — a label for your reference (e.g., “Outgoing PBX”).
IP — the public IP of your server (e.g., 5.6.7.8). Use /32 for a single host.
Prefix (optional) — a short numeric code to differentiate traffic when multiple users share the same IP.
X-Header (optional) — a custom SIP header used for the same purpose (e.g., X-Header: ss44tt55).

4	Click Save. The IP will appear in the list showing the IP, Prefix, X-Header, and creation date.

You can whitelist several IPs for one account if calls come from different servers.
If an IP is already used by another account, you must define a unique Prefix or X-Header.
Once saved, calls from the whitelisted IP will be accepted automatically.
PBXme uses any Prefix or X-Header to identify which account each call belongs to.
