[ Try Out Phone URI/URL Dialing ]

IAX Phone Pro supports the ability to handle telephony URIs (links). This feature is great for call centers or web-based contact management solutions. When you install the phone, it configures your copy of Windows to pass all links marked as "iax:", "sip:", or "tel:" to IAX Phone Pro. IAX Phone then does its best to place a call to the destination number.

You can create these links by using the iax, sip and tel URI schemes. Simply use the following examples as a guide:

Call Ipsando HQ
Call Extension 1000
800 Directory Information (US Only)
Olle Johansson over SIP (requires the
SIP-Over-IAX)


IAX and SIP accept IAX or SIP URIs respectively. TEL allows you to enter any extension or dialable number. Note that your browser /may/ ask you to authorize each of the URI types (iax, sip, and tel) the first time you click on them. You must select OK in order for the calls to go through.
