Linkus Overview

Yeastar Linkus is designed to keep you connected with colleagues and business anywhere and anytime. This topic describes Linkus server, Linkus client, Linkus client login methods, and Linkus events.

Linkus server

To get started with Linkus, you need to set up Linkus server and enable Linkus clients for users. Yeastar P-Series PBX System allows you to set up Linkus server in two ways:
  • Auto configuration by Remote Access Service

    Remote Access Service (RAS) is a subscription-based service designed for remote working. After RAS is subscribed, you can bind a Yeastar FQDN to the PBX, and the following functions will be provided:

    Note: RAS provides remote access, not remote control.
    • Secure connection
    • Remote access of PBX web
    • Network Address Translation (NAT) for Linkus service auto configured
    • Linkus server for remote access auto configured

    For more information about Linkus auto configuration by RAS, see Set up Linkus Server with Remote Access Service.

  • Manual configuration

    Manual configuration of Linkus remote server requires professional network knowledge.

    Note:
    • Weak network protection will cause SIP attacks.
    • Incorrect configurations may cause a one-way audio issue.

    For more information about manual configuration, see Manually Set up Linkus Server.

Linkus client

Yeastar P-Series PBX System supports the following Linkus clients:
  • Linkus Mobile Client
  • Linkus Desktop Client

Linkus client login methods

Yeastar P-Series PBX System allows users to quickly log in to Linkus clients via a specific link or QR code, or manually log in by entering the provided credentials.
  • Quick login
    • Login link: Provide users with login links so that they can quickly log in to Linkus clients.
    • Login QR code: Provide users with login QR codes so that they can quickly log in to Linkus Mobile Client.

    You can copy and share login credential of a specific client with a user, or bulk send Linkus welcome emails to multiple users, which contain login credentials of all the Linkus clients.
