If you choose the CSipSimple softphone, it can be tricky to setup. Most softphones use the standard port 5060. The CSipSimple default assigns a random port number, so you have to configure a port number. CSipSimple can be setup without registration. If you choose a softphone that requires registration, you will need some changes on the ITSP-B/SP2 configuration in my last post.
Here is how I configure CSipSimple without registration:
You must use the Expert wizard to set no registration, but I find it easier to define an account with the Basic wizard then switch to the Expert Wizard.
CSipSimple requires a password.
Use any dummy password.
This example uses the OBi SP2 and it must be defined as SIP.
Save the 1st setup screen.
Do not add a new account now.
Press return to get the Dial Pad.
Press Menu on the phone
Select Settings
Press Menu on the phone again
Select Expert Mode
Select Network
Select UDP Port
It should be zero, change it to 5060 then OK
With zero a random port number will be assigned
Now you will always be assigned port 5060
Return to the Dial Pad
Tap menu, then accounts
Select Add Account.
Select the BASIC wizard
Account name = OBixxx
User = OBixxx
Server = xx.xx.xx.xx:5061 (OBi IP address and SP2 port#)
Password = anything
SAVE
Press and hold on the account name.
When a new screen appears, select "Choose Wizard".
Select Expert.
Select your account again.
Select Registration URI and blank it out, then ok.
SAVE

After you have made all the necessary changes for that page, click Submit at the bottom of the page.
OBiTalk will download the configuration changes to the OBi and reboot it.
Wait until this process is complete before continuing to the next page.

If you want to place outbound calls from your devices, make this additional change on your OBi:
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute:
{OBixxx>(xx.):sp1},{ph}
OBixxx must match User in CSipSimple
Outbound calls will be routed to SP1
