Editing a trunk profile for an FXO gateway
The FortiVoice phone system automatically creates a trunk profile when you add an FXO gateway. By default, all eight ports are mapped to a single trunk. However, you can reassign the ports to multiple trunks, if required. For example, four trunks can have two ports each. If you want to edit the trunk profile, perform this procedure.
Procedure steps
- In the web-based manager of the FortiVoice phone system, go to Trunks > Gateway.
- Double-click the trunk profile that you want to edit.
- You can edit the following settings:
GUI field
Description
Enabled
To activate this trunk profile, select this option.
Display name
Not required. You can leave this field empty.
Main number
Not required. You can leave this field empty.
If you want, you can add a main number for reference. For example, you can use the number assigned by your service provider to identify a group of analog lines.
Mapped FXO ports
The port numbers included in this profile.
For a port range, enter the starting and ending ports separated by a dash. For separate ports, use a comma. For example, 1-4,6.
The default is 1-8.
Gateway device
The device type for this profile.
Gateway SIP address
The SIP address of the gateway.
Gateway SIP port
The SIP port of the gateway.
Caller ID modification
Optionally, select the caller ID modification configuration. This choice changes the phone number, caller name, or both that display on the destination phone.
For more details, see the Modifying caller IDs section in the FortiVoice Phone System Administration Guide.
Relay fax
If you select this option, then you must create a trunk profile for a dedicated fax line (see Creating an additional trunk profile for an FXO gateway). Without this dedicated fax line, all lines will be used to receive and send faxes.
Select to allow this FXO gateway to receive and send faxes.
Off hook only
If the managed FXO gateway is connected to a third-party paging system, you can select this option to keep the gateway off hook without dialing any digits and allow users to enter dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) digits.

Optionally, add notes for this trunk profile.
- To save changes, click OK.
