. - The NeoGate TB400 IP address is 10.1.2.200.
- The two external phone numbers are
300123456
and300123457
.

Kerio Operator configuration
- Connect to your Kerio Operator administration GUI and go to the Call Routing screen.
- Create a new SIP interface. Enter your external numbers separated with comma in the first screen of the Add SIP Interface wizard. For example,
300123456,300123457
. - In the second screen of the Add SIP Interface wizard, select an extension to receive calls from this interface and set a dial-out prefixCountry codes, area codes, a number, or a set of numbers that are dialed before the telephone numbers. (in our example, let’s use 9 as the prefix).
- Enter the following values in the third screen:
- Key in the gateway’s IP address (
10.1.2.200
) in the Hostname or IP address field. - Port number should be
5060
. - The Username should be your phone number (
300123456
