Set up Linkus Server with Remote Access Service

After you get Remote Access Service, users can remotely access Linkus Mobile Client using the PBX Serial Number (SN). To allow remote access to Linkus Desktop Client and Linkus Web Client, you need to further configure a Yeastar-supplied Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) on the system.

Procedure

  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to System > Network > Yeastar FQDN.
  2. Turn on Yeastar FQDN.
  3. In the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) field, set up the FQDN domain name.
    1. Select a domain name from the drop-down list.
    2. Enter a host name in the first field.
      Note: Think twice before you enter the hostname. The FQDN can not be changed after you save the configurations.

      For example, select domain name ras.yeastar.com and enter host name yeastardocs. You will get an FQDN yeastardocs.ras.yeastar.com.

  4. Optional: Configure the remote access permission according to your need.
