<h4><a name="general_instructions">General Instructions</a></h4>
All SIP clients must have at least 3 bits of information:

<dl>

<dt>extension</dt>
<dd>The "username" used for authentication. Currently, the
<b>extension is a series of numbers</b> such as "6000". A <a
href="http://sdf.org/?tutorials/sdf_voip_ext">directory</a> of
users is also available. The assigned extension will be given in
an email. Do not use your SDF username.</dd>

<dt>domain</dt>
<dd>This may also be known as the server to connect with. Use
<b>sip.sdf.org</b> as the server; use the default port of
<b>5060/udp</b>. Please note: some clients infer the domain from
the extension. In this case, the extension will be in the form of
"extension@domain", or "sip:extension@domain"; eg,
"6000@sip.sdf.org" would be a valid username that includes the
domain.</dd>

<dt>password</dt>
<dd>This is the password used to authenticate to the SIP server. This
will be provided in the email as well, but may change very soon
in the future. The password can be reset via the maint command.</dd>
