Provision Wildix IP Phone with Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition

Requirements

The firmwares of Wildix IP Phone and Yeastar PBX meet the following requirements.

Scenarios

The provisioning methods and operations vary depending on your provisioning needs, as the following table shows:

Manually provision a Wildix IP phone

Prerequisites

• 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 Wildix IP phone on PBX
• Step 2. Configure provisioning server address on the phone

Step 1. Add the Wildix 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, configure phone information as follows:
   

   • Vendor: Select Wildix.
   • Model: Select the phone model. In this example, select WP480R3.
   • 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.

   • To release the extension from the associated IP phone, see Release an Extension from a Provisioned IP Phone.
   • To register the extension to the phone without releasing it from the previously associated one, you need to configure the concurrent registration setting for the extension, as the PBX only allows an extension to register with one SIP endpoint by default.
6. Click Save.

Step 2. Configure provisioning server address on the phone

Manually configure provisioning server for the Wildix IP phone using the provisioning link provided by the PBX.

1. Log in to the web interface of the Wildix IP phone.

   

   1. In the browser's address bar, enter the IP address of the IP phone.
   2. Enter the username and the associated password.

      In this example, enter the default username admin and password admin.

   3. Click Login.
2. On the left navigation bar, go to Update > Advance > Manual Autop.
3. In the URL field, paste the provisioning link.

   

4. Click AutoP Immediate.

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 automatically downloads the configurations from the PBX and applies the settings.
• The extension is successfully registered on the IP phone. You can check the registration status on Auto Provisioning > Phone on the PBX web portal.

  

Auto provision multiple Wildix IP phones

Prerequisites

• 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 IP phone on the PBX
• Step 2. Configure DHCP option 66 on the router

Step 1. Add the IP phone on the 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.

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.

   • To register the extension to the phone without releasing it from the previously associated one, you need to configure the concurrent registration setting for the extension, as the PBX only allows an extension to register with one SIP endpoint by default.
6. Click Save.

Step 2. Configure DHCP option 66 on the router

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.
