From the Assistant screen, click on USE A SIP ACCOUNT.
Fill in the form with the following information where:
Username: Your auth username for the SIP connection in your portal.
Display Name: Your name or company name. When creating a display name, consider that:
It should be in CAPITAL LETTERS, as this is more clearly visible on some devices
It cannot contain special characters (such as, but not limited to @, $, *, &)
It should have a max of 15 characters, as some providers will not show more than 15 characters.
Spaces are allowed
SIP Domain: sip.telnyx.com
Password: The auth password for the SIP connection in your portal
Transport: UDP or TCP
Click on the USE button.
Your Linphone should now be ready to make calls.
Note: To make outbound calls, Telnyx requires either a valid caller ID from your device or a caller ID override enabled on your SIP connection. Please view our caller ID number policy for information on enabling a caller ID override from within the Telnyx portal. |
2. Configuring your Linphone with Encryption
Follow steps 1-4 of section 2.1 with the following exceptions:
In the SIP Domain field, append port 5061 to the end of the server address (i.e.: sip.telnyx.com:5061)
