MicroSIP Softphone Guide
Important: You must be connected to the GMC VPN to use MicroSIP. Otherwise, it will not register your extension with the Phones server and will not be able to receive calls.
Important: It is NOT recommended to use your softphone to dial 911 in an emergency. Please use your cell phone or any physical phone around the GMC. This will guarantee emergency services will get accurate location information.
