# Cisco CUBE / CallManager Express Configuration **Category:** PBX Setup Guides **URL:** https://www.simtex.com.au/support/kb/pbx-setup-guides/cisco-cube-configuration **Published:** 2018-01-12 The following is to help with the connection of Cisco CUBE or CallManager Express to our environment. ## Why this article matters Network engineers operating Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) routers or CallManager Express deployments typically reach this guide when integrating a Cisco-anchored voice infrastructure with an Australian SIP carrier. The configuration references the Simtex carrier IP ranges (203.30.19.164/32 and 203.32.124.160/27) for the voice service VoIP trusted IP list and uses UDP dial peers with appropriate codec and DTMF settings — a topology that aligns with Cisco's recommended CUBE deployment patterns for ITSP-facing trunks. The service referenced is Simtex SIP Trunks, priced from $4.99 per channel per month and delivered from geo-redundant Perth and Sydney points of presence on a 99.99% uptime SLA. The trunk supports IP-authenticated topologies suitable for CUBE deployments, removing the need for per-trunk registration credentials in environments where the SBC posture is preferred. Cisco-anchored Australian voice deployments are typically evaluated against incumbent SIP Connect services from Telstra Business and Optus, and against reseller providers such as Vonex and Maxotel. Direct carrier ownership, transparent per-channel pricing, and Australian-based engineering support familiar with Cisco IOS voice configuration are the points of difference. The same Simtex carrier account can also terminate to Microsoft Teams via Simtex Teams Direct Route if the organisation is parallel-running Cisco and Teams calling. ## Simtex SIP Trunks from $4.99/month Geo-redundant SIP trunking with Australian-based support.
