Configuring 3CXPhone for an IP PBX on the same LAN

If you are configuring 3CXPhone for use with a SIP server / PBX located on the same LAN (for example 3CX Phone System or Asterisk located in the same office), you need to configure it as follows:

  1. Start 3CXPhone from the 3CXPhone program group or by double-clicking on the tray icon.
  2. The first time you start 3CXPhone, it will automatically create a new connection profile. Otherwise, click the new button to create a new profile. Enter a name for the connection
