PBX 7.2 Create a SIP account

Add SIP Device Form

The Add SIP Account form's fields are confirmed against the live build: Name (Enter Name), Username (Enter Username), an assignment selector defaulting to None, and a notification switch.

  • Open PBX Manager > SIP Accounts.
  • Select Add SIP Account.
  • Enter the Name. Name it for the device, for example Reception desk phone, so the list stays readable.
  • Enter the Username.
  • Select Assigned To, the user who will hold the account.
  • Set Notify On Unregister only if you want to be told when the device drops its registration. The form states that this is not recommended for mobile app users.
  • Select Save, or Cancel.

Leave Notify On Unregister off for softphones and mobile apps. A mobile app unregisters every time the phone sleeps or changes network, so the setting produces continuous notifications that mean nothing. Reserve it for a desk phone whose registration should never drop.
