This guide shows how you can connect Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK to your FreePBX. This solution gives you a brief explanation about how you can configure Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK to start building your own application.

Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK uses Voice over IP to establish phone calls. Using VoIP technology is less expensive than traditional phone services. With Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK you can view your registered phone line and your active phone calls. You can establish calls using the Softphone of the Demo Application. You can also select the codec to be used during the phone call.

This configuration guide demonstrates how you can connect Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK to your FreePBX.

System architecture

If you follow the configuration guide, you will have a telephone system that works as follows:
First, create an extension in your FreePBX. Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK will connect using this created extension. Once Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK Studio is connected, you can start your calls. The destination phone could be a VoIP phone, a land line phone or a mobile phone. You can see this process in Figure 1.

Configuration steps

Before you start to configure this solution it is assumed that you have already installed your FreePBX and downloaded Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK installer from the download page.

Step 1.) Configure FreePBX

In this example I have installed FreePBX on a computer and its IP address is 192.168.91.99. You can reach and configure FreePBX through its web interface. In order to configure FreePBX navigate to the IP address of your installation using your web browser and click on the PBX Administrator icon (Figure 2).
