Registering phone

Last Updated : Jul 12, 2021 |

About this task

For new phones and phones that have been reset, the phone requests an extension number.

  • If auto-create is enabled the extension number used, if free, creates new extension and user entries in the IP Office configuration.

  • If auto-create is not enabled, the extension number used must match a VoIP extension entry within the IP Office configuration, see Manually Creating Extensions.

Procedure

  1. In Extn enter the extension number the phone should use and press #.
    Note:

    The phone displays Wrong Set Type if you try to use the extension number of an existing non-IP extension.

  2. In Password, do any one of the following:

    • If using auto-creation for a extension, enter the password that was specified while enabling auto-create.

    • If not using auto-create, enter the Phone Password as set in the system configuration for the extension. If a Phone Password has not been set, the system checks against the matching user Login Code.

    Note:

    The system disables the use of default passwords, such as 0000 which is supported by some phones. See Blocking Default Passcodes.

  3. Test that you can make and receive calls at the extension.
