We assume that you have already created a Linphone® account for the app. We also require that the Behnke station has already been registered with the Linphone® Free SIP Service. You can find setup help on how to register the Behnke Station with the Linphone® Free SIP Service at the following link: [Linphone® Free SIP Service](Linphone-FreeSIP)\n\n## 1. Setting up the app\n\n- Download Linphone® Desktop from the Linphone® website: [https://www.linphone.org/](https://www.linphone.org/)\n\n- After installation, start the software and check **\"I accept Belledonne Communications' terms of use and privacy policy\"**. Then click **\"Use a Linphone Account\"**.\n\n \n\n- Then, if necessary, enter a **\"Display name\"** and enter the **\"Username\"** and password of your Linphone® account. Then click on the `Use` button below.\n\n \n\nThe setup is now complete. If your Behnke Station has a USB camera or an IP camera integrated as a system camera, you can now initiate SIP video calls from the Behnke Station to the Linphone® app. You can find a configuration guide for the Behnke Station on the Linphone® Free SIP Service at the following link: [Linphone® Free SIP Service](Linphone-FreeSIP)\n\n## 2. SIP direct calls (operation without a PBX)\n\nIt is possible to use the Behnke Station and the Linphone® app without a PBX or the Linphone® SIP service.\n\nIn this case, you simply trigger a direct call from the Behnke Station to the Linphone® app. To set up the direct call, you need the IP address of the computer and the SIP port number of the Linphone® app. The steps shown above for registering with the Linphone® Free SIP Service are then no longer necessary. It should be ensured that the IP address of the computer does not change subsequently. So if you use a DHCP server in your network, please always assign the same IP address to the computer. Alternatively, simply assign a static IP address in the computer's network settings. You set the SIP port number of the Linphone® app in the app settings by clicking on **\"Network\"**. By default the port number **\"5060\"** is used here. You can change these if necessary.\n\nHow to set up a direct call at the Behnke Station is described in the following setup example: [Direct SIP calls (for usage without PBX)](SIP-direct).\n\nTo call the Linphone® app, enter `sip::` as the phone number in the Behnke station. E.g.: `sip:192.168.178.86:37775`. If the Linphone® app uses port number 5060, you don't have to specify the port number here.\n\nIf you would like to call the Behnke Station from the Linphone® app, simply select `sip:` as the number in the app. So for example `sip:192.168.178.7`. If necessary, also enter the SIP port number of the Behnke station if you have configured a port number other than 5060 there.\n\n## 3. Trouble shooting\n\n## 4.
