The next three fields are where you should enter your account credentials: Account Username, Account
Password, and Server/Realm. These should have been provided to you by the SIP provider. Account username is
usually the name at the start of any SIP URI assigned. (More on that later). E.g., username@sip_provider. Make
sure to enter only the username part.
The Server/Realm is the address of a registration server maintained by the provider. No web prefixes are needed
here, just the address. E.g., sip.comrex.com or iptel.org. If you are programming a PBX extension here, this will
be the IP address (or URL) of the PBX.
Under most circumstances this is all you should need. Setting these parameters, clicking Back then clicking
Restart should start the process of EarShot IFB registering with the provider or PBX. However, SIP registration can
be tricky in some systems, and if registration fails you should check the required SIP settings carefully and use the
Advanced SIP settings. Advanced settings are accessible by clicking the Show Advanced button.
Advanced SIP Settings
By clicking Show Advanced in the SIP Setup menu, the list expands to include less used options:
- Under Account Information -
Auth Username - By default, this field is set internally to the same as the user. Occasionally, SIP
providers require this field be something different than the username, and will outline that in their
setup instructions.
