Register an IAX Extension

To make calls and receive calls from an IAX extension, you need to register the IAX extension on an IP phone or soft phone.

Note: Only few phones support IAX protocol, we recommend that you use SIP extensions.

In this topic, we take Zoiper softphone for example to introduce how to register an IAX extension.

1.Gather information of extension registration

For most IAX phones, the following items are needed for the IAX phone to register with Yeastar S-Series VoIP PBX.
