Check SIP authentication (SIP Invite) for outgoing calls

In this article, we assume that you have access to the SIP traces of the telephone system. Alternatively, we will show you how to "Create network recordings with Wireshark".

Please note that this topic requires advanced knowledge of VoIP and network technology. If in doubt, please contact your network technician.

Technical background

When an IP call is established, one side sends a "SIP invite"to invite another subscriber to the call. In addition to the "technical framework conditions", this also contains information about the calling subscriber. A separate SIP invite is also created for call forwarding.

In order for this to be clearly identified by our infrastructure and for the call to be reliably transferred, it is crucial that the SIP user name of the phone number initiating the call is transmitted in the "SIP from address user part" field - "from-user-part " for short. If this does not happen, our infrastructure will reject the outgoing call attempt for security reasons.

Possible causes of errors

In everyday life, we regularly observe that systems are configured in such a way that the User Provided Number (UPN), i.e. the phone number to be displayed to the remote party, is transmitted in the From-User part instead of the SIP user name.

Please use one of the following fields for the UPN:
P-Asserted-Identity
P-Preferred-Identity
From-Display
Remote Party ID

Find out more in our article "Configuring CLIP no screening correctly".

That's how it should look like

Here is an excerpt from a trace with a correctly configured SIP invite. The key data of the call is as follows:

Number block: 030-80951 (000-999)
SIP user name: 00493080951
UPN: In the From-Display field (here the 03080951055)
Registrar: voip.easybell.de

From: "03080951055" ;tag=xxxyyyzzz
SIP display info: "03080951055"
SIP from address: sip:00493080951@voip.easybell.de
SIP from address User Part: 00493080951
SIP from address Host Part: voip.easybell.de
SIP from tag: xxxyyyzzz

If the data in the trace of your connections is transmitted as in this example, you can rule out the configuration of the caller ID as the cause.

If not, please check the telephone system settings for outgoing telephony and especially for call forwarding. You can find instructions for numerous models in our help section. If in doubt, please contact the manufacturer of the telephone system to assist you with the setup.
