configure the VGate.

3. Query the foneBRIDGE2 device by selecting System, Query foneBRIDGE2

4. Open the Redfone VGate GUI. Go to System and then select Configure. If the foneBRIDGE
was succesfully detected in the previous step then all of the Global information should already
have been completed automatically.

5. Under SIP Settings, input the IP address of your target Elastix server in the Remote SIP
server's 1 field.
6. Enable SIP Registration and input the Sip username and Sip password which we will later add
to our Elastix SIP trunk settings. These values must be the same on both VGate and Elastix in
order to establish the SIP trunk between both systems. The SIP Network Interface Card should
always be eth0.

this configuration there is no need to create the Incoming Settings or Register String.
