Registering my MJ using X-Lite

cnr1109 · Post by **cnr1109** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 8:51 pm

I just received my MJ. I am planning to extract the SIP credentials and use the X-Lite softphone only without ever installing the MJ software. Can I use the X-Lite to register my MJ, choose my telephone number, etc. without ever plugging in the dongle or installing MJ software on my computer? Thanks.

Nope!

No, you must use the dongle to register, and be assigned a phone number in the area code of your choosing. Once this is accomplished, you can extract your SIP info and configure X-Lite with your SIP info. You may then remove the dongle and use X-Lite as your softphone.

Thanks for your answer. I was trying to avoid having their software on my computer.

I have registered and extracted the SIP credentials after installing the dongle. I then reformatted my computer to get rid of their software. I am now using a PAP2T-NA and X-Lite (no, not at the same time). I have the MJ dongle in a box; hopefully never to see the light of day again.

You could have just made a restore point before plugging the MJ in and then restored to that point after your MJ was registered. But what you did works well too.

Personally, I'm a believer in Sandboxing software, it runs the installed software in a virtual environment and leaves no traces on the hard drive.
