You may have problems shutting down or rebooting your PBX where the system hangs for over 5 minutes trying to shut down MySQL or MariaDB.

A stop job is running for MariaDB...

This change to the configuration will fix this:

timedatectl set-local-rtc 0

• DAHDI is the newer interface for TDM cards
• ZAP is the old name
• When naming a ZAP/DAHDI trunk
  • 'g0' will occupy lines in ascending order
  • 'G0' will occupy lines in decending order

Create a trunk
	Mediatrix gateway is SIP trunk
		Name, Description, Host, Codecs
		No authentication
Routes -> Inbound Routes
	Create a new inbound route
		Choose a DID number to use (such as 999)

Also, you can create a new Feature extension and use that. Security implications?

On the Mediatrix 1204 gateway
	No authentication
	Point ports to extension 999 on server for inbound calls
	See setup info on web site for SAIL
	Logging
		Device Info -> Monitoring
			Enable syslog to PBX IP
		On PBX, enable remote logging
			vi /etc/sysconfig/syslog
				add '-r' to SYSLOGD_OPTIONS
			service syslog restart

• You can use Vitelity either as a registered or an IP-routed trunk
• Vitelity recommends using the more efficient IP-routed method to connect PBXs with static IPs
• You must specify a single CLID for a 'registered' trunk using the Vitelity web admin console
• You can manipulate the CLID normally for 'IP-routed' trunks

type=friend
dtmfmode=auto
host=outbound.vitelity.net
username=your_vitelity_login_name
fromuser=your_vitelity_login_name
trustrpid=yes
sendrpid=yes
secret=your_vitelity_password
allow=all
nat=yes
canreinvite=no
qualify=yes

type=friend
dtmfmode=auto
host=inbound23.vitelity.net
context=from-trunk
username=your_vitelity_login_name
secret=your_vitelity_password
allow=all
insecure=very
nat=yes

qualify=yes

IP-routed method shown here with separate trunks for inbound and outbound.

Note that you can only manipulate outbound caller ID if using IP routing. If using registration, specify the desired CLID in the Vitelity Portal Subaccount.
