Step 1: Creating a SIP account in Ozeki XE

In order to connect your Windows Phone to Ozeki Phone System XE, first you need to create a SIP Extension. You can find detailed guide about how to create a SIP Extension here.

Step 2: Installing AdoreSoftphone

For connecting your smartphone to the Ozeki Phone System XE a mobile application is required. One of the most reliable apps is AdoreSoftphone, which makes it possible to use your phone as a mobile extension.

In order to install AdoreSoftphone you need to download it from Windows Phone Marketplace:

Option 1: Visit Windows Phone Marketplace website: Download from Windows Phone Marketplace
Option 2: Scan the following QR code:

Step 3: Configuring AdoreSoftphone

After you have launched AdoreSoftphone, the Login panel will appear. Here, you need to provide the SIP account details that you defined earlier in the Ozeki Phone System XE (see Figure 2):

First, enter the IP address of your Ozeki Phone System XE into the "Sip" edit box.
Move to the "UserName" edit box and provide the phone number of the new extension. Your mobile phone will be available on this telephone number.
Finally, enter the password belonging to this extension.
When you finished press the Save button.

In the top left-hand corner of the screen the "UnRegistered" status message becomes "Registered", which shows that the SIP account registration process has been completed successfully (Figure 3). This suggests that your mobile phone is ready to use. For making a call, drag to the left the screen and the keypad will appear.

Step 4: Setting up dial plans

By default, every extension can call every other extension. You can read more about the supported ones here.
If you would like to change the default settings, or you would like to handle outgoing and incoming calls from outside lines, you will need to set up dial plans for that, for example:

if you would like to call telephones in PSTN or GSM networks, you need to set up Standard connections within the Outside lines panel, and you also need to set Outbound routing rules within the Dial plan panel (since the called party is not on the list of Standard extensions in the PBX).
it is also possible that there are incoming calls from the PSTN or GSM networks. In these cases, you need to add Inbound routing rules to forward them to any of the extensions.
if a call is not answered by the destination and you wish to forward that to an another extension (for example to a Voicemail), you need to add new Missed call rules.
to send and receive SMS messages, you need to add new Message routing rules.

You can read more about dial plans and call routing rules here.

Step 5: Making a test call

In order to initiate a call;

enter a phone number (the number of the extension you would call) by using the keypad.
press the Call button for dialing.

In Figure 4 you can see that our sample mobile extension (No.1002) called an other SIP extension (No. "1004"). In order to end the call press the "Hang Up" button.

Figure 5 demonstrates an incoming call (No. "1004" extension calls No. "1002" mobile extension). In order to answer the call press the "answer" button. If you want to end the call press the "Hang Up" button.
