Multiple SIP Profiles: How does it work?

I need some help understanding this:
One of our servers has over 500 endpoints, and FusionPBX recommends adding a second “internal” SIP profile on port 5070.

My question is:
  • Will the phones automatically choose between the original profile on port 5060 and the new one on port 5070?
  • Or must I explicitly configure each phone to register on port 5070?
 
Hi,
To configure FusionPBX to use an additional SIP profile on port 5070, follow these steps:


  1. Create a New SIP Profile:
    • Navigate to Advanced → SIP Profiles.
    • Open the existing internal profile (typically on port 5060).
    • Click Copy to duplicate the profile.
    • Rename the new profile to something like internal-5070.
    • Replace every instance of 5060 with 5070 within the new profile's settings.
  2. Activate the New Profile:
    • Go to Status → SIP Status.
    • Refresh the ACL (Access Control List), flush the cache, and apply configuration changes.
    • Ensure the new profile is listed and running.
    • If the profile doesn't start correctly, a FreeSWITCH restart may be necessary—schedule this during off-hours if needed.
  3. Configure Phones to Use Port 5070:
    • Phones will not automatically switch between profiles or ports.
      • Navigate to Advanced → Default Settings.
      • Locate or add the line_sip_port setting under the provision category.
      • Set its value to 5070 so that all newly provisioned devices use the new profile by default.

I hope this clear things up.
