No. You should work on configuring xlite to "register" with asterisk.
In the xlite Sip Proxy menu, you will need a "User Name", "Password",
"Sip Proxy", and "Domain/Realm" defined to match entries in your
sip.conf definitions.

Your sip.conf for xlite should look something like:
[3005]
type=friend
host=dynamic
username=3005
secret=yourpassword
context=from-sip
canreinvite=no
mailbox=3005

>From your asterisk CLI, try "sip debug" to see the flow of packets to/from
asterisk; "sip no debug" will shut it off.
