Configure X-Lite

X-Lite is a free SIP-based softphone that lets you make and receive calls on your PC or Mac. This guide describes how to configure your X-Lite installation to work with your CallingPlaces account.

This guide has been tested with X-Lite version 3.0 for the Mac, but the following steps will be compatible with other versions and platforms.

1. Add a New SIP Account

   Select “SIP Account Settings…” from the main menu and click the “Add…” button to configure your CallingPlaces account.

   

2. Enter Your CallingPlaces Account Details

   Configure your new account as follows, leaving any other fields blank or as their default values:

   Setting	Value
   Display Name	CallingPlaces
   User name	[SIP ID]
   Password	[SIP Password]
   Authorization user name	[SIP ID]
   Domain	T.B.A
   	T.B.A

    

3. Test Your Configuration

   Press OK and close the SIP Accounts window. The main X-Lite window should read “Discovering network…”, and then after a short pause “Ready” with your username.

   

Following the steps above, you should now be able to connect to CallingPlaces and make and receive calls. For further information about configuring X-Lite, or for help with troubleshooting, please see:
