*[http://www.firebrick.co.uk/fb6000/fb6502.php| FB 6502] The FireBrick 6000 series SIP Switch (for VoIP Carriers)

The FireBrick has SIP capabilities and can be set up as a basic back-to-back SIP endpoint for a home office and provide a set of PBX features itself, or can be combined additional RADIUS and custom companion software to create a much more powerful SIP switch that can be used by larger VoIP providers. It is designed to scale well by simply adding more boxes. When used as back-to-back, you have individual 'User' AccoutnsAccounts on your FireBrick for each of your phones, and separately, you have Carrier accounts configured. These carrier accounts are the SIP accounts with your SIP provider, they is nothing special about these accounts, they are the same as if you are configuring your phone to register directly with the SIP provider, but instead the FireBrick registers. This back-to-back configuration is not a SIP ALG.

Carrier and Users are separate - Your the phones uses the 'VoIP users' configuration section, and the Carrier configuration is in the 'VoIP carriers' section of the FireBrick config. -The FireBrick doesn't pass on authentication on your phone over to your carrier. You'll need a configuration entry for each of your carriers and each of your phones. At a basic level you can just have a 1-to-1 mapping of carrier to phone, or you can use the FireBrick PBX features for a more comprehensive setup where the FireBrick is able to offer features such as ring groups, call pickup etc.
