How to Configure SIP Trunk between FCM5600 with FCM630A by using FRC

To establish connectivity between IP-PBX (A) FCM5600 and IP-PBX (B) FCM630A, we need to create a direct link between the two systems. This will allow extensions on both sides to communicate with each other seamlessly. By using FRC (FIBERME Remote Connect), the extensions on both IP-PBXs will be able to make calls without requiring the systems to be on the same LAN, as the connection will be handled through the cloud.

IPPBX (A)

Model: FCM5600

Extensions Range from 1000 to 1009

IPPBX (B)

Model: FCM630A

Extensions Range from 2000 to 2009

NOTE!!!!! : Ensure that the extension numbers on both IPPBX are different.
