Cisco CUBE and Broadview SIP trunks

I was tasked with turning up a SIP trunk from Broadview with little information from the customer or provider.  There is also no interoperability guide for Cisco CUBE and Broadview SIP trunks that I could find. The only reference on their website is to the now defunct Small Business UC500 product line.  With that, I blew a bunch of time trying figure out from the tech on the phone who didn't have access to the Broadview switch nor any information himself re: registration or authentication requirements, and from hunt, peck and debug techniques how to make a poor phone call work.

Short story regarding where I was side tracked: they don't want you to register with them, but only provide the authenticating credentials when presenting a call to them. No registrar required.  Also seemed I had to bind media and control to individual dial-peers.

With that, here's the critical pieces I found successful.

  2. I don't have a config copy or access to the system any longer but if you have access to an old UC500 system, check out http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/cloud-systems-management/configuration-assistant-cca/index.html. It's the administrative application for that product line and had a preset configuration designed to work with Broadview SIP trunks. It's where I gleaned what Broadview, at least at one time, was looking for from a Cisco configuration.

    If I get super motivated, I'll pump out a sample configuration for you.
