Objective

This article shows you how to add an origination target to an origination connection policy, so Twilio knows the SIP address of the network element that is the entry point into your communications infrastructure.

Product

Programmable Voice

Environment

Twilio Console

User Account Permission/Role(s) Required

Your role must include permission to create origination targets on connection policies. Without it, the Create Origination Target button is not shown.

Procedure

1. In the Twilio Console, select Communications in the left sidebar.
2. Select Voice, then Bring your own carrier.
3. Select the Origination connection policies tab, then select the policy you want to add a target to.
4. In the Origination target section, select Create Origination Target.
5. In the Create Origination Target dialog, complete the fields:
   1. Origination SIP URI: the SIP address you want Twilio to route your calls to. It must use a sip: or sips: scheme.
   2. Priority: the relative importance of the target; the lowest number is the most important. An integer from 0 to 65535. Defaults to 10.
   3. Weight: targets with higher values receive more load than lower-valued targets of the same priority. An integer from 1 to 65535. Defaults to 10.
   4. Enable Origination Target: select Enable or Disable. Defaults to Enable.
6. Select Create.
7. An Origination target created confirmation appears and the target is listed in the table with its Origination URI, Priority, Weight, Enabled state and an Actions menu.

Additional Information

• If the URI does not start with sip: or sips:, the dialog shows SIP URI must start with "sip:" or "sips:". and does not save.
• The origination SIP URI is required. Submitting with it empty returns focus to the field instead of saving.
• Before the first target exists, the section shows the Create Origination Targets empty state prompting you to configure the IP address (or FQDN) of the network element entry point into your infrastructure, such as an IP-PBX or SBC.
• Select Cancel to close the dialog without adding a target.
