Wholesale¶
Wholesale clients are the simplest client type in IvozProvider.
It allows trunking services with Carriers without any application server features, focusing on concurrency and quality rather on having lots of services.
- Just make outgoing calls.
- IP authentication only (no register, no SIP auth).
- Calls go directly from users to trunks, without any application server involved.
- Support for routing tags (client can choose the outgoing route to use)
- Support for audio transcoding.
Warning
No users, no extensions, no internal calls, no DDIs, no voicemail, no call forwards... just outgoing external calls.
Error
Wholesale clients do not need to use Brand’s SIP domain in their SIP messages.

When editing a client, these additional fields can be configured:

Each entry in this table has these additional options:
- List of authorized sources: client identification will be made looking up the source IP address in this table.
- List of client admins: this subsection allows managing portal credentials for this specific client.
