Provision Flat-Phone with Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition

This topic takes Flat-phone B10 (firmware: 15.66.7.12.234) as an example to introduce how to provision Flat-phone with Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition.

Requirements

The firmwares of Flat-phone and Yeastar PBX meet the following requirements.

Model Phone Requirement PBX Requirement
B6 15.63.11.12.234 or later 84.19.0.110 or later
B10 15.66.7.12.234 or later 84.19.0.110 or later
C10 15.60.11.12.234 or later 84.19.0.110 or later

Prerequisites

  • Prepare a DHCP server to provide IP address for the IP phone.
    Note: Make sure that there is only one DHCP server in the subnet where the IP phones are deployed, or the IP phones may fail to obtain IP addresses.
  • Make sure that you have downloaded the template for the desired phone model (Path: Auto Provisioning > Resource Repository > Default Templates).
  • RESET the IP phone if it is previously used.
  • Gather information of the IP phone, including Vendor, Model, and MAC address.

Procedure

Step 1. Add the Flat-phone on PBX

Add the IP phone on PBX. The PBX will generate a configuration file based on the phone's MAC address.
  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to Auto Provisioning > Phones.
  2. Click Add > Add.
  3. In the IP Phone section, configure phone information as follows:
    • Vendor: Select Flat-Phone.
    • Model: Select a phone model. In this example, select B10.
    • MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the IP phone.
  4. In the Options section, configure the following settings.

    • Template: Select a desired template from the drop-down list.
      Note: You can select the default template corresponding to the phone model, or customize your own template. For more information, see Create a Custom Auto Provisioning Template.
    • Provisioning Link: A provisioning link is automatically generated, which points to the location where the phone's configuration file is stored.
      Note: Note down the provisioning link, as you will use it later.
  5. In the Assign Extension section, assign an extension to the IP phone.

    Tip: If your desired extension is not listed in the drop-down list, it indicates that the extension has been associated with an IP phone.
  6. Click Save.

Step 2. Configure DHCP option 66 on DHCP server

In the subnet where the IP phone is deployed, use the generated provisioning link to configure option 66 on the DHCP Server.

  1. On PBX web portal, copy the provisioning link from the phone's detail page.

  2. On the DHCP server, set up option 66 with the provisioning link.

    In this example, the configuration is shown below:

Result

Note: Some IP phones will reboot automatically. If not, you need to manually reboot the phone to make the configurations take effect.
  • After the IP phone is rebooted, it gets an IP address from the DHCP server, downloads the configurations from the PBX via the provisioning link, and applies the settings automatically.
  • The extension is successfully registered on the IP phone. You can check the registration status on Auto Provisioning > Phone on the PBX web portal.
