Configuration

In order to use your ipbx extension on the go you will need to configure your ipbx system for NAT traversal. This requires either a public IP address directly assigned to your ipbx system or a network firewall/router that is configured appropriately. See also Network Firewall Configuration.

You will need your SIP username and password as configured on your ipbx system. Create a new account using the Generic SIP NAT template and adjust the settings to your requirements:

SIP Proxy IP address or DNS name of your ipbx system. Note that this is most likely your public IP
Username as set in SIP Channels → Username
Password as set in SIP Channels → Secret

If the client registers properly, you should be able to dial in the same fashion as any other client on your ipbx system.
