What does defining a trunk do?

What or where is TESTSIPTRUNK used?

The TESTSIPTRUNK is defined:

I can’t find where it’s used elsewhere.

Nothing. Asterisk has no concept of a trunk.

You need to contact the ViciDial people or employ a consultant. Given the number of questions, I think you want the latter.

That’s useful, to clarify that Asterisk has no concept of a trunk. I’m not the decision maker on bringing in a consultant, so I’m just working through this as I can.
