IV. Voice-over-IP (VoIP)

Firstly, you will need an account with a SIP registrar, for example draytel.org. Let's assume we have an account called This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Select the proxy setup menu from Main Menu -> System Settings -> SIP Proxy -> [ Default ]and then set the entries up as shown below.

Next, create a phone book entry for the Vigor router which you wish to call - i.e. their registered SIP name.

Select the entry, then press the green dial key in X-Lite, and it should dial and the remote Vigor2600V should ring.

We strongly recommend the use of headphones for PC VOIP software - speakers really do not work well due to the allowances that have to be made for feedback/mics. Note also that X-Lite does not allow you to select the data rate, therefore on slow (e.g. narrowband, midband or analogue) or distant international links you cannot select the 8Kb/s protocols which might be better suited. This may result in choppy audio.
