How to configure Asterisk and X-Lite

X-Lite is the premier free SIP softphone for Win32
It is also available for MacOS X and known to run under Linux (2.6.7) using WINE (20040408-r1)
Xten has created a native Linux client that is available for download — added by Trey Blancher (20050803)

X-Lite configuration:

Menu | System Settings | SIP Proxy | default
Display Name: Full Name
User Name & Authorization User: <username>
Password: <secret>
Domain/Realm: x.x.x.x
SIP Proxy: x.x.x.x

x.x.x.x = IP address of Asterisk

Turn off Silence Supression (to avoid RFC3389 warnings on Asterisk console):
Menu | Advanced System Settings | Audio Settings | Silence Settings | Transmit Silence: Yes

NB Speex & iLBC don't work natively between X-Lite & Asterisk.
To fix, use the .reg files below:

http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000918

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XtenNetworksInc\X-Lite]
"iLBC:Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Speex:Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Speex:MagicNumber"=dword:0000006e

"iLBC:MagicNumber"=dword:00000061

or

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XtenNetworksInc\X-PRO]
"iLBC:Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Speex:Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Speex:MagicNumber"=dword:0000006e
"iLBC:MagicNumber"=dword:00000061

  • more recent versions use a different key name, however:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CounterPathSolutionsInc\X-Lite]

This CounterPath version has options for codecs under Advanced System Settings,
Codec Settings, {codec} - enable, disable, and more. Codecs can be individually
selected within the phone window - great for testing.

Asterisk configuration:

standard SIP user in sip.conf & extensions.conf

Speex doesn't come with Asterisk, therefore you need to manually install the Speex codec before compiling Asterisk.

xlite 3

In the version 3, there is an advanced menu to tweak audio codec and some others features. To access it, dial ***7469 (send)
In the version 3, there is an advanced ui menu to tweak. To access it, dial ***746984 (send)

Here is a template to create a sip peer in sip.conf for xlite

[222]
type=friend
context=internal
username=222
secret=222
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no
dtfmode=rfc2833
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
subscribecontext=internal
mailbox=222@internal

333X-Lite Back Door???

by diver, Wednesday 18 of July, 2007 [01:36:44 UTC]
I took a look at the gui advanced Options edit ***746984 dial and found the following settings:
ui:custom_login:bd_enabled 1
ui:custom_login:bd_name backdoor
ui:custom_login:bd_pwd *5386346#

Any ideas on why this is here?

333Re: Xlite DTMF inband, auto, or RFC2833?

This may be a known problem with the way Asterisk sends DTMF via RFC2833 — I know that both blitzrage and damin were working on solving this problem, and that there's at least one bug in the bug tracker related to this particular problem. Hope that helps...

333Xlite DTMF inband, auto, or RFC2833?

by dfannin, Thursday 02 of March, 2006 [20:40:59 UTC]
I have a Catch-22 issue with using Xlite, and getting DTMF remote recoginition to work for all cases. <br>
If I set "DTMF Force Inband = No", then Asterisk will recognize DTMF keys, but calls made to remote numbers (via broadvoice) will not recognized DTMF keys. <br>
However, if I set it to "Yes", then the remote numbers work, but Asterisk doesn't. Is there a way to make this work in both cases? Here are the configuations for the Xten phone (110) and Broadvoice: <br> 
Xten: 
<pre>
[110]
type=friend
secret=secret
host=dynamic
;nat=no
callerid="Caller ID" <110>
mailbox=110@default
canreinvite=no
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=ilbc
allow=gsm
dtmfmode=auto
context=home

Broadvoice:
[broadvoice]
type=peer
user=phone
host=sip.broadvoice.com
username=xxxxxxxxxx
fromuser=xxxxxxxxxx
authname=xxxxxxxxxx
fromdomain=sip.broadvoice.com
secret=secret
insecure=very
context=from-bv
dtmfmode=inband
canreinvite=no

333Re: xLite under Wine on Linux ?

by , Wednesday 16 of February, 2005 [10:19:26 UTC]
For Fedora Core 3:
Download the wine rpm from http://www.winehq.com/site/download and install it with rpm -Uvh

Download xlite and run the installer.

Should work fine from there.

Does any one have any step-by-step for xLite under Wine on Linux? I do not even know where to start. Duh.

Thanks very much.
