Two Softphones on LAN

If you have two softphones that you want to receive calls from the internet, set the ports as below then set your router to forward to each phone.

X-Lite 1:

• Listen SIP Port: 5060
• Listen RTP Port: 8000
• Forward port 5060 to this PC.

X-Lite 2:

• Listen SIP Port: 5061
• Listen RTP Port: 8006
• Forward port 5061 to this second PC.

If you have problems, try forwarding ports 8000-8005 to PC 1 and 8006-8011 to PC2. X-Lite has 3 LINES! and each uses 2 Listen RTP ports, that’s why the first uses 8000 and 8001 for line 1, 8002 and 8003 for line 2 and so on.

Wait, that cant be correct. 5060 is used as the inbound port as well that is the nature of the sip protocol unless you are using the fwdnat proxy. So dont change the listen SIP port, leave it at 5060.
