You can download X-Lite from CounterPath. You have to be sure that you have already installed ipbx and configured your general SIP settings.

You can either use your softphone as your primary channel (main phone) or as an additional channel to your extension. For details on how to setup a user please follow the instructions here. If you wish to setup your softphone as additional line and you have the Additional Line/Softphone module installed, follow the instructions here.

You will need to know three configuration items to register your SIP phone.

  1. Server IP address or DNS Name (usually SIP Proxy and Registrar)
  2. SIP user name
  3. SIP password (secret)

These details are generally displayed in the administrator's panel under UsersSIP Channels. Click on the Edit.gif button to see the corresponding user name and password (secret). If you have Additional Line/Softphone module installed you will see the details on your User PanelFeaturesAdditional Line/Softphone.
