Appendix E: Alternative Ways to Run X-Lite
From a Hyperlink
People can create hyperlinks that reference a phone number or SIP address which, when an X-Lite user clicks
the link, will start the softphone client and dial the number. Format such hyperlinks as follows:
<a href="sip:address or number">Click here to dial address or number</a>
For example:
<a href="sip:[email protected]">Click here to dial [email protected]</a>
From the Command Line
Users can start X-Lite from a prompt within the MS-DOS command line (users may need to add x-lite.exe
to their PATH). To launch from the command line, type:
x-lite.exe
→ Enter
To start X-Lite from a DOS prompt and dial a number immediately, type:
x-lite.exe -dial=sip:<number>
→ Enter
