Full Feature List

Everything SipLive SBC includes out of the box — no add-ons, no modules to buy.

Features marked PRO require a Professional license. All other features are included in the free Community tier.

Core SBC Engine

  • Asterisk 20 PJSIP B2BUA with full SIP signaling normalization
  • STIR/SHAKEN call attestation (A/B/C) — compiled from source, not an add-on
  • Configurable response policy per scenario (blocked route, unroutable, trunk down, capacity exhausted, outside time window)
  • SIP UDP / TCP / TLS (port 5060/5061) with per-transport PJSIP binds
  • RTP media proxy with configurable port range

Dashboard

  • Operator Action Queue — intelligent priority checklist driven by apply state, HA health, capacity, maintenance windows, and backups
  • Live metrics: Asterisk status, active call count, registered trunks, enabled trunks, enabled routes
  • Active-Active Cluster health panel: cluster mode, serving node count, cluster-wide call totals PRO
  • Recent SIP/Asterisk warning log
  • Operator Command Center: one-click shortcuts to provisioning, apply, trunk health, route policy

Trunk Management (SIP NAPs)

  • Full CRUD for SIP trunks (Network Access Points)
  • Per-trunk registration monitoring and health dashboard
  • Carrier templates — pre-built trunk profiles for rapid onboarding of common carriers PRO
  • Per-trunk capacity guardrails (max concurrent calls, DID limits)

Route Management

  • Dial plan routing policy with priority ordering
  • Route simulator — test any E.164 number against live policy and see exactly which trunk wins and why
  • Time-based routing with reusable named time window definitions (business hours, after-hours, holidays)
  • Per-route capacity guardrails and maintenance overrides

DID Management

  • Full DID inventory with assignment tracking
  • E.164 normalization
  • SipLive platform DID sync (optional)

Endpoint Provisioning Wizard & Media Profiles

  • Guided multi-step workflow: NAP → DIDs → HMR → Route in a single flow
  • Auto-generates a deployment runbook per endpoint
  • Reusable media profiles — codec and RTP parameter sets assignable per trunk
  • Hot Media Redundancy (HMR) — configurable media failover rule sets per trunk group

Fraud Detection

  • Destination fraud rules with configurable blocking actions

CDR & Reporting

  • Call Detail Record viewer with date/number/trunk filtering
  • CSV export
  • API endpoints: call volume, failed calls, trunk usage summaries
  • ClearIP STIR/SHAKEN analytics integration PRO

Diagnostics

  • System health dashboard (service status, disk, CPU, RAM)
  • Live SIP packet capture (pcap download, tshark-based)
  • RTP quality metrics
  • Automated test plan generator with export
  • One-click diagnostic bundle (logs + config snapshot)

Backup & Recovery

  • On-demand and scheduled local backups
  • S3-compatible cloud backup (AWS S3, Wasabi, MinIO, Backblaze B2)
  • Configurable retention policy
  • One-click restore from local or S3

Configuration Apply System (Change Control)

  • Staged apply model — changes accumulate in the database and are previewed before being pushed to Asterisk
  • Per-node diff view showing exactly what will change on each SBC
  • Scheduled applies — queue a config push for a future date/time
  • Apply history and one-click rollback to any previous state
  • Config versioning with approve/reject workflow (CI/CD pipeline integration via API)
  • Apply readiness check before commit (validates cluster state, trunk health)

High Availability / Active-Active Clustering PRO

  • Multi-node active-active cluster with MariaDB master-master binary-log replication (server IDs 1/2, auto-increment offsets — no Galera dependency)
  • WireGuard encrypted inter-node tunnel for both MariaDB replication traffic and the peer control channel — only UDP 51820 needs to be exposed
  • Live WireGuard tunnel status on the HA page: handshake age, bytes transferred, 15-second auto-refresh
  • Portal-provisioned WireGuard keys with shared PSK distributed automatically on check-in
  • Per-node management: enable, disable, maintenance mode, graceful call drain (evacuation)
  • Node-level config overrides — export/import supported
  • Config drift detection across nodes
  • HA replication start/stop/sync-to-peer/sync-from-peer — all GUI-driven, no SSH required
  • DB replication configured via Settings → DB Replication using the sbc-configure-replication helper

Security & Access Control

  • Role-based access control with fully customizable permission sets
  • Multi-user support with per-user role assignment
  • Full immutable audit log of every UI and API action
  • Scoped API tokens (separate read/write grants per functional area)
  • Session timeout enforcement
  • Rate-limited login with CSRF protection

REST API

  • Full read/write REST API covering all subsystems (ops, CDR, diagnostics, backups, security, audit)
  • Scoped bearer tokens with separate read/write grants per area
  • Apply queue, rollback, config versioning — all API-accessible for automation/CI integration
  • Route simulator batch endpoint

SOAP API PRO

  • SOAP/WSDL endpoint for legacy carrier system integration

First-Login Setup Wizard

  • 7-step guided wizard launches automatically on first admin login to a fresh install — existing installs are automatically exempted on upgrade
  • Step 1 — Network & Node Identity: confirm node ID, management IP, SIP IP, and web URL; writes static OS network config
  • Step 2 — Firewall: add web/SSH whitelist IPs and optionally enable access restriction
  • Step 3 — Admin Password: forced password change on first login
  • Step 4 — Activation & Account: activate device license and optionally link to a SipLive portal account
  • Step 5 — TLS Certificate: request a Let's Encrypt certificate from the GUI
  • Step 6 — SIP TLS: enable Asterisk SIP TLS on port 5061
  • Step 7 — Apply: dispatches the initial config apply and marks setup complete

Device Activation & Licensing

  • Each appliance self-registers with the SipLive licensing server on first boot
  • Issues a unique 64-character license GUID per device
  • Daily check-in with 7-day grace period for connectivity interruptions
  • Remote suspend/reinstate/revoke from the admin portal
  • Activation status visible in Settings > Activation in SBC Manager GUI
  • Customer account portal — self-service device management, license linking, and HA pair setup at sbc.siplive.net/account
  • Integrated support ticket system — open and track support requests from the customer portal
