Provision NEC IP Phone with Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition

This topic takes NEC DT900 ITK-12D-1P (firmware: 05.03.04.03 ) as an example to describe how to provision NEC IP phone with Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition.

Important: Due to NEC phone limitations, provisioning an NEC IP phone is only supported with a Cloud PBX whose domain name is not longer than 17 characters (excluding the prefix https://). If this limit is exceeded, provisioning will fail.

Requirements

The firmwares of NEC IP phone and Yeastar PBX meet the following requirements.

Prerequisites

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

Procedure

Step 1. Add the NEC IP 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, enter the following phone information.

    • Vendor: Select NEC.
    • Model: Select the phone model. In this example, select DT900 ITK-12D-1P.
    • 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.
  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.

    The IP phone is added and displayed in the Auto Provisioning phone list.

Step 2. Configure DHCP option 66 on DHCP server

On the DHCP server, configure DHCP option 66 with the provisioning link obtained from the PBX.

  1. On the running Tftpd64 software, go to Settings > DHCP > DHCP Options.
  2. Configure the following DHCP options.

  3. Click OK to save the settings.

Results

  • After rebooting the IP phone, 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.
