sip.conf content

The sip.conf file contains a [general] context consisting of global SIP parameters and a separate context for each SIP provider or user. For a complete explanation of the parameters in the [general] context, refer to file sip.conf itself, which includes very detailed comments. A SIP provider might be configured as :

[general]
. . .
register => 0925325502:mysecret@freephonie.net

[free]
type=peer
context=freephonie
host=freephonie.net
fromuser=0925325502
username=0925325502
secret=mysecret
insecure=invite,port
dtmfmode=inband
disallow=all
allow=alaw

• register is to register as a SIP user agent to a SIP proxy (provider).
• context is the context to use for incoming calls in extensions.conf.
• host is the fully qualified domain name to connect to.
• fromuser is the username with which to authenticate.
• username is the username with which to attempt contact before it has registered with you.
• secret is the password for the username.
• insecure= invite,port is to not require authentication on the incoming INVITE for the peer.
• dtmfmode=inband is an option to recognize the keypresses from your SIP provider.
• disallow and allow afford defining which codecs can be used on this link.

A SIP phone might be configured as :

[xlite]
type=friend
context=internal
host=dynamic
secret=0987654321

• context is the context to use for incoming calls in extensions.conf.
• host=dynamic as device authenticates by name/password rather than by IP.
• secret is the password for the username.
