Can a SIP Extension be used as trunk?

[Kryten]

Hi,

I am very new to the 3CX and I have just installed a system on a Raspberry Pi and I was VERY supprised how well it works!

Everything "seems" to be working very well and I can access the system over the internet.

Another thing I would like to try is to connect to the public telephone network.
The simple solution would be to purchase an approved SIP trunk but I just wondered if, for testing purposes only, the I can use my existing SIP extension?
There does not appear to be any option to configure this or manually setup a SIP trunk/extension.

Does anyone know if it is possible to do this or not?

Kind regards

You cannot make calls (expect internal calls) without a SIP trunk. You will need to get a provider : https://www.3cx.com/partners/sip-trunks/

Also, Raspberry Pi is not supported anymore for the PBX (only the SBC is) so I would move the system to a VM or to the cloud.

Excellent information - thank you.
THE SBC looks interesting and I will look into employing it.

I am supprised that 3CX still allowed me to download the Raspberry Pi version if it is no longer supported, unless they are still providing legacy support?

Update 3 works on the Pi, but you won't get any updates. In any case, it's not supported anymore.
