Password : Subscriber’s a/c password
Auth ID : Subscriber’s authentication ID
Use Auth ID : If set to “yes”, the pair <Auth ID> and <Password> are
used for SIP authentication. Else the pair <User ID> and
<Password> are used.
I interpret this as meaning, I'd put my name in Display Name, my DID in User ID (both for Caller ID). My login ID in Auth ID and set Use Auth ID to 'yes'.
However, I find that regardless of the setting for Use Auth ID, I always must have my login ID in User ID otherwise registration fails.
This means that my Caller ID ends up being my login ID, which is not useful for working out how to call me back, specially calling across networks.
Is this my misinterpretation, or a bug somewhere ?
Thanks for any clarification.

VoXalot does not use Auth (Auth can be set to No) , and you'll find that most voip providers use the User ID as the login authentication feature (in most if not all cases User ID and Auth ID are one and the same value)
Based on your provider, the CID number sent is the one registered with that account.
If you are using VoXalot with third party providers, and they support setting your own CID Number (most don't), there is a From User field in advanced settings that will let you specify a DID number....
I don't know if that helps....
