Add an Onsite Proxy Instance on Yeastar PBX

Before connecting a remote Onsite Proxy to Yeastar P-Series Software Edition, you need to first add an Onsite Proxy instance on the PBX to obtain the connection information for later configuration. This topic describes how to add an Onsite Proxy instance on the PBX.

Requirements

Item Requirement
PBX firmware 83.22.0.134 or later.
Public access configuration Make sure that the PBX is reachable via a public IP address, external host, or Yeastar domain, with the following ports properly forwarded to the PBX:
  • External Web Server Port
  • External Tunnel Port
Protocol Make sure that HTTPS protocol is enabled on the PBX (Path: System > Network > Web Server > Protocol > Protocol).

limitations

By default, up to 100 Onsite Proxy instances can be added on the PBX.
Note: To increase the limit, contact your service provider.

Procedure

  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to System > Onsite Proxy, then click Add.
  2. In the Basic section, complete the following settings.

    1. In the Name field, enter a name to identify the Onsite Proxy instance.
    2. In the Platform drop-down list, select Linux.
  3. In the Audio RTP Passthrough section, enable or disable Audio RTP Passthrough as needed.

    • If enabled, RTP audio streams between phones registered via the same Onsite Proxy are transmitted directly (peer-to-peer), bypassing both the PBX and the Onsite Proxy.
      Note: There are some scenarios where Audio RTP Passthrough feature does not work. For more information, see Restrictions for Audio RTP Passthrough.
    • If disabled, RTP audio streams between phones registered via the same Onsite Proxy will be relayed by the PBX.
  4. Click Save and Apply.

Result

The Onsite Proxy instance is displayed in the Onsite Proxy list, along with the automatically generated connection information (connection address, UUID, and secret key).
Note: Note down the connection information. You will use it when configuring the Onsite Proxy later.

What to do next

Install Onsite Proxy and connect it to the PBX.
