   • SIP User A, 101 in this example, will be assigned to your PC, see 2. Installing and Configuring SIP Softphone
   • SIP User B, 102 in this example, will be assigned to the GV-CR1320 / CS1320, see 3. Configuring GV-CR1320 / CS1320.

2. Installing and Configuring SIP Softphone

Note: For convenient testing, it is recommended to install the SIP Server and SIP Softphone programs on the same PC. Users can also choose to install them on two separate PCs within the same LAN.

1. Install and run a SIP Softphone program, such as MicroSIP, on your PC.
2. In its account settings (Settings > Edit Account on MicroSIP), type the IP Address of the SIP Server and type the account Username and Password of SIP User A (see Step 2, 1. Setting up SIP Server).
