# Connect 3CX & sipgate

Currently, it is possible to connect the following 3CX tariffs with a sipgate trunk:

* 3CX PRO (Professional)
* 3CX ENT (Enterprise)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** The 3CX PRO and 3CX ENT tariffs can be connected with sipgate via a provider template. Other 3CX tariffs do not currently offer this option.
{% endhint %}

For some time now, sipgate is no longer selectable as a provider in 3CX, so this can only be done via a custom template. The template can [be downloaded at the following link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M1nqbwNldjHmcc5gmos8RIddg0KnXwwF/view?usp=drive_link).

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Upload template

After logging in to the 3CX portal, you can **Advanced - Templates - Provider Templates - import"** upload our template

![Import 3CX provider template](/files/1ac9118612e8ab8bbbe340b954a6d2c23962e493)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Enter trunk data

Then the **trunk main number**, **SIP user ID** and the corresponding **authentication password** also need to be added:

![3CX trunk data](/files/60a28114eb3bc9a1da038d71f26a7d070012182d)

You can find this data at sipgate under **Account management → Trunks → 3CX**. You can find the trunk main number under Phone numbers (top phone number).

![sipgate trunk data](/files/8ec008d3779ff03f06aa1c9c4193323482159232)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set transport protocol

In the configuration, the transport protocol should be set to UDP:

![Transport protocol set to UDP](/files/69a1c21f50bb28c62e89c7ab8fc1efaa17db75db)

The message about the "untested provider ..." can be ignored:

![Ignore message](/files/ef86151c5f4995fed4ef5e374872a70be440b91c)
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
