Step 3: Call a PBX from TrueConf Client Application
By now, setup is complete, and you can call PBX subscribers using the dialer in our application or by finding a subscriber’s number in the address book.
Use the call string with #sip: and #tel: prefixes to identify PBX subscribers when administering the server (creating aliases, requesting API, compiling the address book, etc.).
