  4. Enter the MAC Address of the phone.
  5. Enter the Description of the device.
  6. Select the device's Phone Type from the drop-down menu.
  7. Enter the IP Address of the Device.
  8. Select the Region the device is in. Refer to Regions for further information.
  9. Click New Extn... and add the Extension to the IPFX Directory. For further information on adding an extension, refer to Add/Edit/Delete an Extension.
  10. When the extension has been set up, click Apply.
  11. Select Line 1 from the drop menu - this is the extension that you have set up.
  12. Select Line 2 if applicable.
  13. Click Apply.
  14. Click OK.

    Note: If you install a phone/device onto the Network, it will automatically do a basic configure in this section.  You will need to configure the extension for IPFX.

If you install a phone on the Network, IPFX will supply a dummy extension number that has access to call internal extensions or any other networked extension on the LAN. It cannot make calls out through the Gateway.

Note: Do not leave phones in this unconfigured state, as you will not be able to make emergency calls out of the organization if required.

To install a phone to be automatically added to this directory

  1. Dial a voicemail port e.g. 51, to set up the device. You will then hear "Welcome to the Hot Desking System" and be asked for your extension number.
  2. Enter your extension number. You will then be asked to enter your Password.
  3. Enter '0000' (the default). The phone will reset.

Note: If you dial the voicemail again to complete the setup, you will be stepped through the 'first time voicemail setup'
