for the individual trunks, select the appropriate switch, select
the SIP trunk type and input the number of trunks. Select the
switch upon which the individual trunk will be created. For
the SIP Trunk Type decide whether the trunks are to be
congured as dynamic or static. For the “SIP Trunk Type”

select “Use IP Address” button and input an IP address. In
this example a dynamic SIP trunk type has been chosen but
static trunks are typically congured for IP8000 conference
