First Steps

To make calls with PhonerLite, you always need SIP account credentials. These credentials can come either from an Internet VoIP provider or from a local IP-PBX in your own network.

The recommended way is to enter these credentials through the wizard: open Configuration and click New. The wizard guides you through the initial setup step by step.

Option 1: VoIP Provider

Your provider usually supplies the required account details:

• SIP server address (for example: sip.example.com)
• Username / SIP ID
• Password

Prefer entering this information through the wizard via Configuration and New. Alternatively, you can set the values manually under Configuration > Server and Configuration > User.

Option 2: Local IP-PBX

If you are using a local phone system (IP-PBX) in your LAN, use the SIP extension credentials created on that system. You still need the PBX server address, username, and password.

Example: FRITZ!Box as a local IP-PBX

1. Open Telephony > Telephony Devices in the FRITZ!Box.
2. Click Set up new device.
3. Select device type Telephone (with and without answering machine).
4. Select connection type LAN/Wi-Fi (IP telephone).
5. Create a username and password for that extension.
6. In PhonerLite, set server to fritz.box (or the FRITZ!Box IP address) and use the credentials you just created.

Quick Setup

1. Start PhonerLite
2. Open Configuration and click New
3. Enter the SIP server address in the wizard
4. Enter username and password in the wizard
5. Apply settings and wait for registration
6. Place a test call

Once registration is successful, you can place outgoing calls and receive incoming calls directly in PhonerLite.
