The following steps describe configuring your X-Lite softphone to connect directly to Flowroute for sending and receiving calls.
-
You will need your Flowroute SIP credentials. These can be found on the Interconnection > Status &Setup page of your Flowroute Manage account.
-
If you don't have a Flowroute phone number yet, you can purchase one on the DIDs > Purchase page of your Flowroute Manage account.
| NOTE: This article uses the Windows version of X-Lite for screenshots; however, both the Windows and Mac versions are configured identically. Any configurations not shown can be left at their default settings. |
-
Open Account Settings.
- Enter Your Flowroute SIP Credentials.
-
In the User Details section, add your Flowroute SIP credentials:
-
User ID: Your Flowroute phone number where you want to receive calls. This number will also be sent as your caller ID for outbound calls.
-
Domain: The Flowroute SIP Registrar/Proxy, sip.flowroute.com.
-
Password: Your Flowroute SIP Credentials Password.
-
Authorization name: Your eight-digit Flowroute SIP Credential Username & Auth Username.
-
- Click OK.
-
Enter a phone number, click Call and make a call!
| NOTE: When calling outbound, be sure to use E.164 dialing for all calls, with all calls starting with the Country Code. For example, a call to a US number needs to start with 1, while a call to the UK needs to start with 44. |
You're all set! Your status will be listed as Available, and you are ready to send and receive calls.
