Provisioning a Yealink phone with the Vodia PBX involves resetting the device, logging in through the phone’s web interface and linking it to the PBX using its MAC address. Once reset, retrieve the phone’s IP and enter it in a browser to access the login interface. Register the MAC address with the desired extension on the Vodia PBX, then enter the PBX server URL in the phone's “Auto Provisioning” settings. Confirming and initiating this auto-provision process connects the phone to the PBX, allowing it to register and be ready for use within minutes.

Reset your Yealink phones
We will be using a YealinkT29G Desktop phone for this demonstration.
Reset your Yealink phone to factory default by pressing "OK" on your phone until you see "“Reset to factory settings?” appear. "Confirm" to reset.
After the phone has rebooted to factory default it will be ready for provisioning.
To log in to the Yealink phone interface, press the Menu button and navigate to "Status" and press OK on the phone. The unit will reveal the following information:
IPV4
MAC
WIFI MAC
Firmware
More...
Type in the IPV4 address on your browser; you will then be presented with the phone log in screen.
To log in to the unit, type in the following.
Username: admin
Password: admin
Once you've logged in to the unit, you will be presented with the page below. We will need to copy/paste the MAC address of the phone to the Vodia PBX extension.
Setting up provisioning
Log in to your Vodia PBX and navigate to your domain and click on Extensions. Choose an extension to which you would like to provision the Yealink phone.
Next, navigate to the Provisioning tab and click on the plus icon.
Enter the MAC address of the phone and choose the phone manufacturer and phone model. Once done, click on the plus icon to save.
Open Mac based provisioning
This security mechanism enables the phone to provision to the Vodia PBX within 1 hour or less - this prevents hackers from trying to provision a unit on the PBX. Also, when the phone is in provisioning mode, the open MAC provision counts down to a minute or less. Once the open MAC provisioning is closed, it's impossible to provision another phone unless the setting is reactivated.
Yealink provisioning
Now that we have programmed the Vodia PBX, we will now log in to the YealinkT46G phone. Navigate to Settings tab -----> Auto Provisioning
Under Server URL, enter your Vodia PBX IP address or your FQDN.
Press Confirm on the bottom of the page and click Auto Provision now to complete the provisioning process.
The phone should reboot and contact the Vodia PBX. After 2 minutes, the phone will successfully register to the PBX.

The recording of the Htek and Vodia joint webinar “Seamless Compatibility” is now available, showcasing how the Vodia PBX integrates with Htek’s UCV(Pro) and UC900 series IP phones. The session highlights zero-touch provisioning, real-world deployment examples, and practical use cases for education and hospitality, illustrating how the combined solution delivers a reliable and future-ready communications setup for businesses of all sizes.
Vodia’s 2025 marked a year of pragmatic AI adoption, unprecedented platform robustness, and laying the foundation for the next phase of the PBX. With version 69 reaching exceptional stability, focus has shifted to version 70, which introduces a redesigned admin interface and major architectural improvements in scalability, resilience, and flexibility. Alongside steady expansion of integrations and partner tooling, the roadmap for 2026 emphasizes refined user experiences, modernized apps, and continued investment in reliability over hype.
Delaying PBX upgrades may feel safe in the short term, but real-world dependencies like security standards, app compatibility, and vendor APIs eventually force reactive upgrades at the worst possible time. Staying reasonably current with Vodia PBX versions, rather than clinging to outdated releases or jumping on every new preview, helps maintain security, compatibility, and performance while avoiding emergency upgrades, especially as newer features and OS requirements become unavoidable.
