Once you create a Location, you can use it to configure your IP addresses for Voice and Messaging. When a number is added to a Location, it inherits the settings and properties of that Location.

Managing voice settings

To configure your Origination, Termination, and STIR/SHAKEN settings, click Voice.

Origination settings

  1. If you're contracted for the inbound CNAM per number feature, you can configure your CNAM display settings using the following options:
    • Under CNAM display (Caller ID), choose whether you want the CNAM display to be ON or OFF by default for all numbers on this Location. You can change this later on any individual number from its Phone Number Details Page.
    • Use the Enforced for all numbers toggle to choose whether you want to apply your CNAM display setting to all phone numbers on this Location. If this is enabled, you won't be able to change the CNAM display setting at an individual number level.
  2. Under Traffic distribution mechanism, select one of the following options:
    • None: Supports only one IP address.
    • Random: Supports up to 10 IPs. The system will signal to the IPs in a random order, similar to a round-robin.
    • Sequential failover: Supports up to 10 IPs. Traffic will failover on the IPs in the order in which they're entered.
  3. Under Failover URI, enter the SIP address in the sip:{address}@{host} format or a valid phone number in the +13332221111@PSTN format. For more information on using Automatic Failover, see our support article.
  4. Under Voice IP addresses / DNS hosts, enter the endpoint IP address or DNS host. To add a new line, click +Add IP Address.

STIR/SHAKEN

For information on how to configure STIR/SHAKEN settings, see STIR/SHAKEN Inbound Verification and STIR/SHAKEN Transit Identity Header Service.

Termination settings

If you're contracted for our Unified Communications (UC) product, use the Termination hosts field to enter your IPs for routing outbound calls. Otherwise, your whitelist is housed in a separate database at Bandwidth. Please open a ticket to whitelist additional IPs for Termination.
