Configuring a Soft Phone for use with Asterisk PBX

A soft phone is a software program that runs on a PC that emulates a VOIP phone. The one that we will use is the X-Lite softphone. You can download it from: Xten download page

There are two parts to making a Softphone phone work with PBX in a Flash. The first part is creating an extension in the Asterisk PBX. The second part is configuring the softphone phone to use the Asterisk PBX.

  1. Creating a SIP Extension in Asterisk PBX

    This section discusses how to setup a SIP extension using FreePBX to configure Asterisk PBX.

  2. Configuring a Softphone to use Asterisk PBX

    The X-lite is the phone that will be configured to work with the extension made previously in Asterisk PBX.
