Auto Provision Fanvil DECT System with Yeastar P-Series PBX System

Requirements

The device model and firmware version of the Fanvil DECT system used in this example are shown in the table below.

Scenarios

The provisioning method and operations vary depending on the network environment of Fanvil DECT system and Yeastar PBX, as the following table shows.

Auto provision Fanvil DECT system in the same subnet (PnP)

In this example, the Fanvil DECT system (base station and handset) and the Yeastar PBX (IP: 192.168.28.39) are on the same subnet (192.168.28.0/24), with the Fanvil DECT base station’s IP address assigned by a DHCP server.

Prerequisites

• Make sure that there is only one DHCP server running in the subnet, or the DECT base station would fail to obtain an IP address.
• Make sure that the Fanvil DECT system (base station and handset) and Yeastar PBX are on the same subnet.
• Download and install the Fanvil Device Manager (an IP scanning tool) on your computer that is on the same subnet as the Fanvil DECT system.
• Make sure that you have downloaded the template for the desired phone model (Path: Auto Provisioning > Resource Repository > Default Templates).

Procedure

• Step 1. Obtain the IP address of the Fanvil DECT base station
• Step 2. Configure the Fanvil DECT base station on PBX
• Step 3. Pair the Fanvil DECT handset with the DECT base station
• Step 4. Register the Fanvil DECT handset to an extension

Step 1. Obtain the IP address of the Fanvil DECT base station

On the DECT base station, use the device button to reset the device, so that the base station can obtain an IP address from a DHCP server in the subnet.

1. Press and hold the Reset Key on the DECT base station for at least 10 seconds until all three LEDs start flashing rapidly, then release the button.

   The DECT base station is reset, and it takes several minutes for the device to boot up. After booted up, the three LEDs are solidly lit, indicating that the DECT base station gets an IP address from the DHCP server.

2. Open the Fanvil Device Manager (an IP scanning tool) and click Rescan.

   The DECT base station appears in the Device list along with its IP address.

   

Step 2. Configure the Fanvil DECT base station on PBX

On PBX web portal, configure the provisioning settings for the DECT base station, and assign extensions to the DECT handsets.

1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to Auto Provisioning > Phones.

   The DECT base station detected by the PBX via PnP is displayed in the phone list.

2. Click to edit the DECT base station.

   

3. In the Assign Extension section, assign extensions for the DECT handsets according to your needs.
   • To assign extensions one by one, do as follows:

     

     1. Select the checkbox of the desired handset.
     2. In the Extension drop-down list, select the desired extension.
   • To assign extensions in bulk, do as follows:

     

     1. In the Start Extension and End Extension drop-down lists, set the extension range.
     2. Click Assign Extension.

        Handsets are automatically enabled and assigned with the specified extensions in sequence.

   Note: If your desired extension is not listed in the drop-down list, it indicates that the extension has been associated with an IP phone or gateway.

   • To release the extension from the associated IP phone or gateway, see Release an Extension from a Provisioned IP Phone/Gateway.
   • To assign the extension to the phone without releasing it from the previously associated device, you can configure the concurrent registration setting for the extension, as the PBX only allows an extension to register with one SIP endpoint by default.

4. Optional: Configure other settings according to your needs.

5. Click Save.
6. In the phone list, click beside the Fanvil DECT base station to reprovision the device.

   

   The DECT base station automatically downloads the configurations from the PBX and applies the settings.

   Tip: You can click in front of the DECT base station to see the extensions assigned to the DECT handsets.

   

Step 3. Pair the Fanvil DECT handset with the DECT base station

Enable the registration mode of the DECT base station, then pair the Fanvil DECT handset with it.

Auto provision Fanvil DECT system in remote network (RPS)

In this example, the Fanvil DECT system (base station and handset) and a DHCP server are deployed in Network A, and the Yeastar PBX is deployed in Network B.

Prerequisites

Yeastar P-Series PBX System supports to auto provision Fanvil DECT system remotely either using Yeastar FQDN or using public IP address / external host / Yeastar domain name. According to the provisioning method you intend to use, make sure that you have completed the corresponding setup shown below.

Method	Setting
Using Yeastar FQDN	Subscribe to Enterprise Plan or Ultimate Plan for the PBX and ensure the FQDN is available. Grant remote access permission for the extension to be registered and the DECT base station: Grant remote SIP access permission for the extension, so that the extension can be registered remotely via FQDN (Path: System > Network > Yeastar FQDN > Features > SIP Access). If you have enabled IP restriction for Yeastar FQDN remote Web access, make sure that you have added the phone's IP address to the permitted IP list, so that the phone can obtain configuration files from the PBX (Path: System > Network > Yeastar FQDN > Features > Remote Access > Web Access). Make sure that there is only one DHCP server running in the subnet where the Fanvil DECT system (base station and handset) is deployed, or the base station would fail to obtain an IP address. Download and install the Fanvil Device Manager (an IP scanning tool) on your computer that is on the same subnet as the Fanvil DECT system. Make sure that you have downloaded the template for the desired phone model (Path: Auto Provisioning > Resource Repository > Default Templates). Gather information of the Fanvil DECT base station, including Vendor, Model, and MAC address.
Using public IP address / external host / Yeastar domain name	Configure PBX network for remote access by a public IP address, by an external host domain name, or by a Yeastar domain name. Important: The following PBX ports MUST be forwarded for RPS provisioning. RTP ports SIP port Web Server port Set up the extension for remote registration. Enable NAT for the extension (Path: Extension and Trunk > Extension > > Advanced > VoIP Settings > NAT). Enable Remote Registration feature for the extension (Path: Extension and Trunk > Extension > > Security > SIP Security > Allow Remote Registration). Make sure that there is only one DHCP server running in the subnet where the Fanvil DECT system (base station and handset) is deployed, or the base station would fail to obtain an IP address. Download and install the Fanvil Device Manager (an IP scanning tool) on your computer that is on the same subnet as the Fanvil DECT system. Make sure that you have downloaded the template for the desired phone model (Path: Auto Provisioning > Resource Repository > Default Templates). Gather information of the Fanvil DECT base station, including Vendor, Model, and MAC address.
