7. Configure a phone or softphone

How to take the device's connection details and put them into a softphone (or desk phone) so it registers.

Now point a softphone app or a desk phone at the device you just created. Any SIP client works the same way — this page uses the field names common to apps like Zoiper and Linphone.

What you need

From step 6's device, you need the Extension and the Secret. The server address is the same Voiplix address you use to sign in to the web interface — ask your operator for it if you are not sure.

Connection data

Softphone field	Value
Server / domain / SIP proxy	Your Voiplix server's address (the same one you use to sign in).
Port	The `Port` from the device's Authentication & network fields — 5060/5061 unless changed.
Username / extension	The device's `Extension` (for example, `1010`).
Password / authentication	The device's `Secret`.
Transport	The `Transport` from the same section — UDP, TCP or TLS.

In most apps this is a single "add account" screen:

Server / domain:   your-voiplix-address
Port:              5060
Username:          1010
Password:          <the device Secret>
Transport:         UDP

Note

Field names vary by app — "SIP server", "Domain" and "Proxy" are usually the same box; "Auth username" and "Username" are sometimes separate fields and both take the extension.

Check

The softphone should show Registered (or an equivalent green/online status) within a few seconds. In Voiplix, the device's Registration status on its General tab will also show it as registered.
