Setting up X Lite involves configuring the software to work with your Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service or SIP provider. Here are the general steps to set up X-Lite:
Download and Install X-Lite:
- Download X-Lite from the official Samparkccs website or a trusted source and install it on your computer. Refer to the installation steps mentioned earlier if needed.
Launch X-Lite:
- After installation, launch the X-Lite application.
Configure Your SIP Account:
When you first launch X-Lite, you'll be prompted to configure your SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) account. Here's what you'll need to provide:
Display Name: This is the name that will be displayed to your contacts when you make calls.
User ID or Username: This is your SIP account's username or the phone number associated with your account.
Domain or SIP Server: Enter the domain or SIP server address provided by your SIP service provider.
Password: Provide the password associated with your SIP account.
You may also need to configure other optional settings, such as SIP proxy, outbound proxy, and registration server, depending on your service provider's requirements.
Testing the Configuration:
- After entering your SIP account details, you can typically test the configuration by making a test call or checking your registration status.
Audio and Video Settings:
- Configure your audio and video settings as needed. X-Lite allows you to select your microphone, speakers, and camera. Test these settings to ensure they work correctly.
Contacts and Address Book:
- Add and manage your contacts within the X-Lite application. You can create an address book to easily call your contacts.
Presence Information:
- If X-Lite supports presence information, set your online status to let your contacts know when you're available.
Additional Configuration:
- Explore the settings and preferences within X-Lite to customize your experience further. This may include call recording, call history, and notification settings.
Make and Receive Calls:
- With X-Lite configured and your SIP account set up, you can now make and receive voice and video calls over the Internet.
Please note that the exact steps and settings may vary based on your specific VoIP service provider and the version of X-Lite you are using. If you encounter any difficulties during the setup process, consult the documentation provided by your service provider or X-Lite's support resources for more detailed instructions.
