What is Inbound Dial Peers?

--> Outbound dial peers are used for outgoing VoIP calls whereas Inbound dial peers are used for Incoming VoIP calls on Voice Gateway.

--> The configuration of outbound dial peers is very easy as we use the destination-pattern command to match the dial peer.

--> But the problem is when we need to configure inbound dial peers as it is a little bit complex.

--> Inbound dial peers are used to control incoming calls on Voice Gateway.

--> A Voice gateway matches an inbound call to an inbound dial peer in the following order,

1. Called number with incoming called-number

2. Calling number with answer-address

3. Calling number with destination-pattern

4. Incoming voice port with configured voice port

--> If the incoming call number does not match with above 4 rules still the voice gateway accepts the incoming call.

--> Voice Gateway uses dial peer 0 by default to accept all the incoming voice calls.

--> If you want to do control incoming voice calls on the voice gateway then we can use above 4 rules.
