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.

Vodia PBX now integrates Google Gemini with JavaScript IVR and Voice Agents, enabling real-time, AI-driven call handling and intelligent routing. By combining Gemini’s multimodal large language models with Vodia’s programmable IVR framework, organizations can build voice agents that stream audio in real time, make routing decisions through function calls, and handle both basic and attended transfers with AI-assisted screening. This integration allows businesses to automate call flows, reduce hold times, and improve productivity using conversational AI that works directly inside the PBX.
In 2026, a modern phone system must go well beyond basic calling. Core requirements now include built-in AI for smarter call handling and transcription, real-time analytics dashboards for visibility and control, flexible auto attendants to route calls efficiently, seamless Microsoft Teams integration, and robust mobile apps that support hybrid and remote work. Clear separation between business and personal calls protects work-life balance, while reliable white-glove support ensures these capabilities work smoothly in real-world environments as communication needs evolve.
Legacy phone systems may still work, but they often come with hidden costs, limited scalability, and little support for hybrid work. Aging hardware, ongoing maintenance, and rigid infrastructure can quietly hold businesses back as they grow. Cloud-based VoIP systems remove these constraints by reducing telephony expenses, improving flexibility, and enabling teams to communicate seamlessly from anywhere. For many organizations, modernizing business telephony is no longer optional, it is a practical step toward efficiency and resilience.
