Published on:

January 17, 2019

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.

In this article, we will discuss how to provision a Yealink desktop phone from its web interface.

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
Yealink Login

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.

Next, navigate to the Provisioning tab and click on the plus icon.

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.

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.
