FreeSWITCH external SIP profile (registered as onscreen)

The second SIP port — FreeSWITCH's external profile, where carriers and trunks land.

TCP IANA registry

Description

IANA has 5080 registered as onscreen, "OnScreen Data Collection Service", which you will not meet in practice. The real occupant is FreeSWITCH: its shipped external profile binds 5080 (the $${external_sip_port} variable) for gateways and SIP trunks, with the internal profile on 5060 for registered handsets. The split exists because the external profile runs with auth-calls disabled — carriers authenticate by IP, not by registration.

Exposed to the internet?

Expose with care

The external profile accepts unauthenticated INVITEs by design, so the only thing between it and toll fraud is a source-IP ACL. Restrict it to your carrier's networks and audit the dialplan reachable from that profile.
