X-lite local sip port

[Russell]

Is there some way for me to setup X-lite so it does not use 5060 as it's local SIP port. You could argue it shouldn't make a difference that my PAP2T is on 5060 and 5061 since it's a different device - but, anyway, I'd like to change it. I've looked through the various menus and can't seem to find where. I'm running version 3.0. I've googled and found a reference from 2005 about how to do it but don't see that option available to me - perhaps they've removed it in my 3.0 version :-(.

You can specify that in the Topology tab. The field is "Manually specify range". Use the same port number in the two fields.

[dbmaven]

Right click on X-Lite
Choose SIP Account Settings
Choose Properties for the VOIPO entry you've already set up

On the main Account tab that you're presented with, in the DOMAIN attribute box, add :50xx to the end of the entry.

So, mine reads as follows:
east01.voipwelcome.com:5079

When you fire X-Lite, then go to vPanel, it will show as a device on Port 5079

It wants me to specify a range - if I type in 5062 in both fields it displays an error dialog and says the starting port must be less than the ending port (or some such words) :-(.

Wouldn't east01.voipwelcome.com:5079 specify the port to be used on the server side? I'm interested in specifying a different port from the default 5060 on the client side. Or, am I just confused?

Make sure you check with support and find out which server to use.

Unfortunately, for this poor sap, the only way to find out is to check with support :-(.

For those of you using 3.0 of X-Lite. Can you add a second sip provider? My Add button is disabled - I figured this being the free version they just allow one.

My bad. I think I used 6061 and 6062 in the two field. It will select the first one.

If you can see the NAT entries of the your router, then you can find out your server.

I tried to do that and it didn't allow me. I think the free version allows only one.

I thought so too. I assumed it worked for dbmaven. I just tried that and it definitely uses the 5079 on the server side and not the client site. Here is my NAT entry if I use east01.voipwelcome.com:5079 and vPanel confirms it.

udp x.x.x.x:30056 x.x.x.x:30056 208.43.97.218:5079 208.43.97.218:5079

VOIPo is accepting SIP connection from more than 5060 port. Setting the ports in the Topology section make the local port change for me.. I set it to 6061 and 6062

udp x.x.x.x:6060 x.x.x.x:6060 208.43.97.218:5079 208.43.97.218:5079

Thanks for clarifying things for me, sr98user. Btw, if you ever want to try a nifty softphone you can try http://www.zoiper.com/zoiper.php. Get the 2.0 (which I've tried with excellent results) and not the communicator (never tried).

I just looked and from what I see X-Lite has more features.

You're probably right. I like it because it supports multiple providers, which X-Lite does not.

Ya I noticed that too. Until someone mentioned it the other day I had never tried multiple providers.
