How to configure Asterisk and X-Lite
X-Lite is the premier free SIP softphone for Win32
It is also available for MacOS X and known to run under Linux (2.6.7) using WINE (20040408-r1)
Xten has created a native Linux client that is available for download — added by Trey Blancher (20050803)
X-Lite configuration:
Menu | System Settings | SIP Proxy | default
Display Name: Full Name
User Name & Authorization User: <username>
Password: <secret>
Domain/Realm: x.x.x.x
SIP Proxy: x.x.x.x
x.x.x.x = IP address of Asterisk
Turn off Silence Supression (to avoid RFC3389 warnings on Asterisk console):
Menu | Advanced System Settings | Audio Settings | Silence Settings | Transmit Silence: Yes
NB Speex & iLBC don’t work natively between X-Lite & Asterisk.
To fix, use the .reg files below:
https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-912
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XtenNetworksInc\X-Lite]
“iLBC:Enabled”=dword:00000001
“Speex:Enabled”=dword:00000001
“Speex:MagicNumber”=dword:0000006e
“iLBC:MagicNumber”=dword:00000061
or
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XtenNetworksInc\X-PRO]
“iLBC:Enabled”=dword:00000001
“Speex:Enabled”=dword:00000001
“Speex:MagicNumber”=dword:0000006e
“iLBC:MagicNumber”=dword:00000061
- more recent versions use a different key name, however:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CounterPathSolutionsInc\X-Lite]
This CounterPath version has options for codecs under Advanced System Settings,
Codec Settings, {codec} – enable, disable, and more. Codecs can be individually
selected within the phone window – great for testing.
Asterisk configuration:
standard SIP user in sip.conf & extensions.conf
Speex doesn’t come with Asterisk, therefore you need to manually install the Speex codec before compiling Asterisk.
xlite 3
In the version 3, there is an advanced menu to tweak audio codec and some others features. To access it, dial ***7469 (send)
In the version 3, there is an advanced ui menu to tweak. To access it, dial ***746984 (send)
Here is a template to create a sip peer in sip.conf for xlite
[222]
type=friend
context=internal
username=222
secret=222
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no
dtfmode=rfc2833
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
subscribecontext=internal
mailbox=222@internal
