How do I set up Zoiper, MicroSIP or 3CX on my computer?

Each desktop softphone labels its settings differently, but they all need the same details. A missing proxy, or a server entered in the wrong field, will stop the softphone from registering.

  1. Add a softphone device in Smart PBX, if you haven’t already.

  2. Note the device’s SIP Username, SIP Password and Realm. See Where do I find the SIP username, password, and realm for a particular device?

Our proxy address is sipsrv.brightpbx.ca.

Enter the server under I am out of the office, not I am in the office.

  1. Check each field against the table above. Copy and paste the credentials rather than retyping them.

  2. Check that your IP hasn’t been blocked. See How do I know if an IP is blocked?

  3. If it still won’t register, contact Support with the account, user and device, plus a screenshot of your softphone settings. Hide the password before you send it.
