MicroSIP Setup Guide (Windows)

Complete step-by-step guide to configure MicroSIP on Windows with your HexaVoice SIP credentials.

MicroSIP Setup on Windows

MicroSIP is a free, lightweight SIP client for Windows. Follow these steps to connect it with HexaVoice.

Step 1: Download MicroSIP

Download the latest version from microsip.org. Choose the installer (not portable) for best performance.

Step 2: Open Account Settings

Launch MicroSIP, click the arrow next to the menu and select Add Account.

Step 3: Enter Your HexaVoice Credentials

Fill in the Add Account dialog exactly as shown below (values here are a demo — use your own credentials from the dashboard):

FieldValue
Account NameAny name you like (e.g. HexaVoice)
SIP Serversip.hexavoice.net
UsernameYour SIP Username (from dashboard)
Domainsip.hexavoice.net
LoginSame as your SIP Username
PasswordYour SIP Password (from dashboard)
Display NameYour Caller ID with country code — e.g. 1xxxxxxxxxx (US)
TransportUDP (default)
Port5060

Transport note: Start with UDP. If registration shows "Request Timeout" or calls fail on UDP (and switching to TCP does not help either), change Transport to TLS — many mobile networks and public Wi-Fi block or throttle plain UDP/TCP SIP. Use these ports per transport: UDP/TCP on 5060, TLS on 5061.

Step 4: Enable STUN (if behind router)

Go to Menu > Settings > Network:

  • STUN Server: stun.l.google.com:19302
  • Enable "Use STUN"

Step 5: Configure Audio

Go to Menu > Settings > Audio:

  • Microphone: Select your headset microphone
  • Speaker: Select your headset speakers
  • Codecs: Enable G.711 PCMU/PCMA first, then G.729

Step 6: Test the Connection

Click Save. MicroSIP should show Registered in the status bar (green dot). Make a test call to confirm audio works.

Troubleshooting

Status shows "Registration Failed": Check username/password in HexaVoice dashboard > SIP Accounts.

Status shows "Request Timeout": Your network is likely blocking UDP. Change Transport to TCP (port 5060) or TLS (port 5061) and try again.

One-way audio: Enable STUN or switch from UDP to TCP transport.

Can't hear ring: Check speaker selection in Audio settings.
