Domain Proxy
Register with domain and receive
calls Check this box if you want to register with your VoIP service provider, so that you can receive
incoming calls.
Typically, this field is checked.
This field may be left unchecked when, for example, your level of service does not include the
ability to receive incoming calls. In that case, turning this field on may cause registration to
fail (when you close the Account Properties window), meaning that your X-Lite cannot
register with your VoIP service provider.
Send outbound via Choose the setting specified by your VoIP service provider:
• Domain: If your VoIP service provider requires that traffic be directed to proxies that are
discovered via the domain.
• Proxy Address: If your VoIP service provider has an outbound proxy address and requires
that you provide the address to X-Lite. For the address enter a domain name (for example,
domain.com) or an IP address (for example, 123.456.789.012).
If you are using X-Lite in a test lab, it is possible that neither of these settings is suitable; see
page 36 for a third way to direct traffic.
