3. Configure a dial plan

In this step, you will configure a dial plan in Bria Portal. For example, you may want to configure your system to require all outgoing callers to dial 9 before dialing out.

(add a concept article or tooltip explaining dial plan - should contain something like...

{a dial plan can be used to modify how your calls are placed. For example, a dial plan can change any number that starts with “+1613” to “613”. A dial plan is used for any combination of the following reasons:

  • To modify (transform) the input (the number to be dialed), such as to add the “9” required to obtain an outside line from a PBX.

  • To select the account to use to place a call, if users have more than one account. For example, to use Account 1 to dial a number starting with 61, and use Account 2 to dial a number starting with 64.}

4. Configuring audio and video codecs

In this step, you will configure your audio and video codecs and even set them in order of preference. This configuration will apply to all the custom SIP accounts you configured in step 1.

  1. Open your Bria Portal client or the Bria Portal web app and click Settings and Preferences in the top navigation.

    Settings and Preferences on the Bria Portal.
  2. Click the Configure Codecs button to open the Codec Settings page.

  3. In the Codecs section, click the gear icon.

    Codecs settings.
  4. On this screen, you can choose, and prioritize, the codecs you'll use for audio and video. Note that the following codecs are supported by Telnyx:

    1. ulaw(g711u)

    2. alaw(g711a)

    3. g722

    4. g729

    Audio and Video codec settings.

5. Link a team member to an account and SIP profile

In this section, you'll learn how to associate a team member with the SIP profile you added in step 1.

  1. Click on the Team Members tab in the top navigation menu.

    Team Members settings.


  2. If you have already added team members and are familiar with this step, skip to step 4. Otherwise, from the left-hand navigation, click the button next to team members.

    Team members settings.
  3. Enter the email address of the new team member. Their invite will be sent here. If you want to assign them to a SIP profile, click the phone button next to the email field and go on to step 4. Otherwise, click Add Members And Invite if you are finished. You can also add additional team members with the + Add Member button.

    Build your team settings.

  4. To assign a team member to a SIP profile, you'll need to provide the following:

    1. VOICE SERVICE: If you have multiple voice services, you can select the one you wish to assign to your new team member. If you only have one voice service set up, the wizard will default to this.

    2. SIP USERNAME/CALL EXTENSION: The team member's Telnyx username

    3. SIP/VOICE PASSWORD: The team member's Telnyx password

    4. CALL DISPLAY: Is your Outbound Caller ID Name. (Note: We suggest entering it in capital letters, and no longer than 15 characters, without special characters such as dots, commas or apostrophe.)

    Member addition settings.

    Some additional considerations for your call display name:

    1. Call ID name should be in CAPITAL LETTERS. This is easier to read on some devices.

    2. No special characters will be displayed. Don't use them.

    3. Max 15 characters

    4. Spaces are allowed

When you create a new member with his email address, they will receive a link in order to download and install the softphone. Then they will need to follow the instructions. A new password will need to be created by them using the email address that you used to create the member.

That's it, you've now linked Bria Teams to Telnyx and your fellow teammates to Telnyx!
