Third Party Softphones
- Kelli Higdon
Fonality will no longer be offering softphones.
Â
If you do require a software phone installed for your computer, we recommend the following softphones for the ease of use and free price tag.
---------------------------------------------------
#1st Recommendation - ZoIPer - Click Here to Download
Easiest interface, basic features required to place and recieve calls.
Â
#2nd Recommendation - X-Lite 4.5 - Click Here to Download
Download the X-Lite 4.5 (Free) version for Windows or Mac
More Features, but a little more complex to setup.
---------------------------------------------------
Step-by-Step Setup:
1- Install one of the third party softphone applications to your computer.
2- Launch the Sofphone Application.
3- Go to the Preferences Section of your ZoIPer softphone.
4- Create a New SIP Account to use.
5- Setup the account with your Server Address, SIP User, and SIP Password
Â
NOTE: If you are connecting to a remote premise system, you have to enter 'x' after your server ID to tell the phone that you are connecting remotely
{Replace 12345 with your Fonality Server ID}
ie: s12345.pbxtra.fonality.com = Local Phone
   s12345x.pbxtra.fonality.com = Remote Phone (includes the x)
Â
Domain= the URL of your fonality server
Username= the MAC Address or SIP Device on your server (Contact support if needed).
Password= secret SIP authentication password located in the CP
Caller ID Name= Extension or Device Name
6- Use the SIPÂ Account we just created to Register your phone to your server.
