Prerequisites

Before you begin there are some pieces of information that you will require:

1. Your SIP ID (sometimes called VoIPtalk ID or trunk ID).
2. The password that is associated with that SIP ID.
   
    

Your password can be found via the VoIPtalk portal.

Counterpath X-Lite should already be installed on the computer. You can download it from http://www.counterpath.com/x-lite-download

Configuring the softphone:

1. If not already running, double-click the X-Lite icon to launch the application.
   
2. On the application's menu, click on Softphone then Account Settings.
   
3. Enter the Account details as follows:
   Account Name - This can be any value that describes the connection
   User ID - This should be your SIP ID
   Domain - Enter 'VoIPtalk.org' (without the quotes) here
   Password - Enter the password associated with your SIP ID
   Display name - This can be anything but typically enter the SIP ID again
   Authorisation name - This must be your SIP ID
   Register with domain and receive calls - Ensure this is selected
   Proxy Address - Enter 'nat.VoIPtalk.org:5065' (without the quotes) here
   
4. Click OK to save the settings.
   
    

Testing the service:

To test that the softphone can make a call, use the keypad to dial '902' then press the green phone icon to initiate the call. You should hear a congratulations message.
