Interoperability

1. Use your Skype Account to create a Skype Manager account at https://www.skype.com/en/features/skype-connect/
2. Create a SIP Profile from [Features] > [Skype Connect].
   When you have created a SIP profile, it will show your authentication information and proxy address with which you can use to set up ARS rules for Skype in Brekeke PBX
   such as:

   SIP User	Password	Skype Connect address	Port
   99051000123456	xxxxxxxx	sip.skype.com	5060

3. Purchase Calling channels at your SIP profile setting (There will be a monthly charge to your Skype Manager account.)
4. To receive calls, you need to do one of the following, or both, depending on your planned usage:
   • From Caller ID, purchase an Online Number at your SIP profile, which you can use to receive calls from PSTN lines.
   • Assign Business Account as the destination for incoming calls from Skype.
5. Allocate credit to your SIP profile to make/receive calls. (You must assign credit to your SIP profile both to make and receive calls with Skype)
