Hi Paul,
My 3 names and comments would be something like
1 - Direct SIP trunk
Mostly for connecting (or trunking) to other (self-owned) SIP
servers
2 - SIP trunk via internal SBC
Mostly for connecting to an ITSP, to use this function the service
"internal SBC for SIP trunks" needs to be enabled on one of your SipXecs
servers
3 - SIP trunk via external SBC
Mostly for more advanced setups
Although 1 and 3 are similar in configuration I would still keep both
options to keep option 1 simple/not scary and to make people aware that 3
is special.
I agree that "SIP-trunking" is a strange service name for an internal SBC,
maybe it would make more sense to call this option just "internal SBC for
SIP trunks"
Again with comment "Mostly used for connecting to an ITSP"
BTW: A related confusing part is "Enable Internet Calling", an ITSP sits
on the Internet as well..., maybe a better name would be "Enable Internet
URI Calling"? (or maybe I still don't understand it :o)
Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Sincères salutations
