Configuration methods
Yeastar supports multiple configuration methods to help you connect your IP phones to Yeastar PBX, as the following table shows.
| Methods | Description |
|---|---|
| Provision a large number of identical IP phones at one time
to complete general settings (preferences, codecs, etc) and
extension registration, which significantly improves deployment
efficiency. In addition, the IP phones can be managed centrally
on Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition. This method is applicable for IP phones that support Auto Provisioning. |
|
| Manual Provisioning | Provision IP phones one by one by manually entering a
PBX-provided provisioning link on the phone's web interface, so
as to complete general settings (preference, codecs, etc) and
extension registration. This method is mainly used for IP phones that do NOT support RPS auto provisioning. |
| Manual Registration | Register PBX extension(s) on an IP phone, without additional
phone auto provisioning. This method is applicable for IP phones that are compatible with the standard SIP protocol. |
- RPS (Redirection and Provisioning Service) method
- You can provision IP phones via RPS method.
- DHCP method
- If you need to provision a large number of identical IP phones, but the phones do NOT support RPS provisioning, you can utilize DHCP option 66 to deliver a PBX-provided provisioning link to the IP phones. In this way, the phones can retrieve configurations from the PBX using the given link.
You can manually register IP phones to Yeastar PBX by entering the SIP credentials (extension information and PBX server information) on the phone's web interface.
The registration process is shown below:
