DNS Configuration:
The main thing i would like to point out is SRV - If you use SolidCP to setup DNS automatically this will be important:
- Add a SRV Record
- Record name: _sip._tls ** Note the dot inbetween _sip and _tls
- Host : your external sip hostname normally pointing to edge server.
- Port number: 5061
- Priority and weight can both stay 0, or set to a lower priority whichever your personal preference.
