  3. In the account details

    1. Use a recognisable nickname for the account, e.g., “HoIP”; this is only for you

    2. Set the display name to a friendly string, e.g., <CALLSIGN> <FIRST NAME>

    3. Set the “Athentication Username” to the <EXTENSION> from the email.

    4. Set the “SIP URI of Proxy Server” to sip:<SERVER>:<PORT>.

    5. Set the “Registration interval” to 3600

    6. Set the “Voicemail URI” to sip:*97; baresip will append the server details automatically on save.

    7. The “Telephony Provider” should already be set to <SERVER>

    8. You may want to toggle the “Numeric Keypad” and “Default Account”
