AnchorSite determines which Telnyx Point of Presence (PoP) handles media routing for SIP calls.

ā€‹
Configuration modes

ā€‹
Latency mode

Automatically selects the optimal PoP based on ICMP ping latency measurements to the SIP endpoint. Requirements:
  • IP/FQDN authentication: Whitelist Telnyx media IP addresses for ICMP.
  • Credential authentication: Include username in Contact header or X-Telnyx-Username header:
Contact: <sip:user@192.0.2.10:5060>
X-Telnyx-Username: connection_username
  • TeXML: PoP selected based on latency to webhook URL IP.

ā€‹
Manual mode

Explicitly select a PoP for predictable routing behavior. Available PoPs:

You can configure AnchorSite in the Telnyx Portal by editing an IP Connection:
IP Connection settings in the Telnyx Portal showing the AnchorSite Override dropdown with Latency and manual PoP options
PATCH /v2/ip_connections/: 
{
  "anchorsite_override": "latency"
}
For manual selection: 
{
  "anchorsite_override": "Chicago, IL"
}

Failover

If the selected PoP is unavailable (maintenance, outage, health check failure), calls automatically reroute through the next available PoP.
