Give the account an appropriate name (this is particularly helpful if you have multiple accounts registered within Bria).You’ll now need your specific credentials information. Depending on your account’s specific setup, you may have received this information when you first signed up.If not, you can obtain this information by logging into our customer account interface and clicking either a) Home, My Extension (if you are a regular user) or Administration, Extensions (if you are an administrator). Find the extension for which you require credentials, and click “New Softphone Password” which is the lock icon to the right.

These devices may need to be restarted after you reset your credentials if they do not restart automatically.Once you have clicked New Softphone Password, a new page will open with your credentials.

User ID: Enter the username you generated above or received when you signed up (Example: myusername-225) Domain: Enter the domain shown here: sip.enhancedvoip.net Password: Enter the password you generated above or received when you signed up. Note: this value has nothing to do with the password you use to log into our customer account interface and is entirely separate. Display Name: Enter your first and last name (Example: John Smith – note that this value can be changed at will without affecting the soft phone’s functionality) Authorization Name: Enter the authorization username you generated above or received when you signed up (Example: myusername-225. Note that this value should be exactly the same as your User ID value) Domain Proxy Under the area titled “Domain Proxy,” ensure that there is a checkmark beside “Register with domain and receive incoming calls” (it should be checked by default).
Also under this section, the “Send outbound via” option should be set to “Domain.”The following image illustrates how your Bria account page should now appear (values given are examples only; please substitute your own). To place an outgoing call, simply click the “Enter name or number” field in the main Bria screen, and enter the phone or extension number you wish to call. You can use your keyboard or mouse to enter numbers. Then click the green telephone icon to the right of the number you’ve entered. When someone calls you a small window will appear, indicating the caller id information of the party calling you. To answer the call click on the green ‘Answer’ button. When you are on a call, the Bria application window will expand vertically to show you more options for your current call.
