Locations Creating A New Location - All trunking services and features get purchased against a Trunking Location in the Clearly IP trunking store. A Trunking Location is easiest defined as a PBX. Each Trunking Location gets a unique SIP Username and Password auto generated that you will use to connect your PBX with the Clearly IP Trunking service.
- Login to https://trunking.clearlyip.com . If you do not have an account with us yet see this wiki on how to setup an account.
- To add a new Location and begin service on we will click on the "Product and Services" tab in the top menu and pick "Locations"
- From here we can click on the "Add A New Location" button to create a new Trunking Location
- Confirm you want to create a SIP Trunk style Location and not a Cloud PBX Location
- Now we need to pick what type of Call Paths and the quantity we want to buy. We have 2 options for Call Paths. Each call path quantity you buy allows for a single inbound or outbound call.
- Call Path Subscription: Sized by the number number of simultaneous calls you need, add additional capacity as needed.
- Each call path subscription includes one concurrent inbound call to your local numbers or outbound call to the US48 and Canada with no Per Minute charges.
- Upgrade available call paths in real-time as needed
- Optional add Elastic Call Bursting to enable the automatic addition of additional call paths to burst to higher capacity when required at a per minute charge without the need to buy additional call path subscriptions for the few times you need to burst more calls than call paths you have purchased.
- One Free e911 Emergency Call-Back Profile and Dispatchable Location included with each Location with a Call Path Subscription.
- Pay Per Minute Subscription: No cost on the Call paths but you pay per minute starting at 9/10th .009 of penny per minute for inbound and outbound calls to US48 and Canada. Each Pay Per Minute Subscription call path allows for a single inbound or outbound call so add as many call paths as you want and only pay for your usage.
 - Next we need to "Select a Plan". A plan determines the pricing offered to you. A Month to Month plan allows you to cancel at anytime but whereas a 12 or 36 Month plan will offer you discounts and additional savings based on the commitment term selected. Once your plan is chosen, you can see (on the right) the price per Call path under each type of plan. Press the Next button to continue

Failover's are settings that can reroute your calls if their normal destination is unable to be reached or if a different destination is needed -
This can be done on a Location level, where all numbers that are associated with that location will be rerouted, or on an individual Number level for specific numbers you own. If you have a Location level Failover set and a Phone Number level failover set the Phone Number failover setting will be honored.
