ENUM Routing

This module performs routing using the ENUM protocols that maps phone numbers to VoIP (or even other PSTN) resources.
This protocol uses a specific format of DNS queries and depends on an external domain name server.

ENUM subscriber

For an ENUM subscriber to be able to activate and use the ENUM service it needs to obtain three elements from a Registrar:

• A personal Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) to be used on the IP part of the network
• One E.164 regular personal telephone number associated with the personal URI, to be used on the PSTN part of the network.
• Authority to write their call forwarding/termination preferences in the NAPTR record accessible via the personal URI.

Configuration file

This is done from enumroute.conf file.

General section

In this section you can find the parameters used to route the calls.

Protocols section

Allows user to enable or disable different protocols.

Routing numbers issues

ENUM can route only fully qualified E.164 phone numbers.
The number must start with a + character (or the configuration defined international dialing prefix) followed by the country code prefix and the rest of the number.
