This article explains how to provision Yealink phones with Vodia’s zero-touch plug-and-play using LAN provisioning. Vodia supports a range of Yealink models, including the T21P, T46G, W60P, and more. Once the phone is reset to factory settings, the Vodia PBX automatically detects the device on the network and displays key information such as MAC address and model. After selecting an extension, the phone registers with the system, making it ready for use. This simple process ensures quick integration of Yealink phones into the Vodia PBX, enabling a hassle-free setup with minimal configuration.

LAN Provisioning
LAN Provisioning is the simplest way to get your Yealink phone configured with the Vodia PBX.
Reset your Yealink phone to factory default by pressing the "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.
Switch to Admin mode on your Vodia PBX ---> navigate to Phones ----> LAN Devices
The Vodia PBX has already scanned the network for your Yealink devices after factory default, and it will show the available units on the LAN device page. The following information will be displayed:
Mac address
Device IP
Vendor type
Model
Firmware version
Hostname
Vendor Class ID
Click on the Setup button to configure the unit: a dialog box will pop up and display the available extensions to which you can pair the phone. Once you have chosen an extension on the system, the Yealink phone will reboot and register to the extension. To configure the Yealink line keys and expansion boards, follow these instructions https://doc.vodia.com/buttons
Vodia is excited to share the recording of our April 8, 2025 webinar on "Real-Time Media Streaming in Vodia PBX: AI, Call Transcription, and Security in V69.5.6." In this session, we explore how AI, call transcription, and security have become core features in the latest version of our PBX. We dive into the practical benefits of AI, including how it improves business communication with real-time transcription, enhances security with advanced features, and streamlines workflows through integrations like OpenAI and Microsoft Teams. Watch the recording to learn how these innovations can transform your business communications and boost efficiency.
Vodia offers advanced solutions for managing Call Data Records (CDRs) and call recordings, allowing businesses to handle data efficiently. Traditionally, CDRs were stored locally in CSV files, requiring manual transfer to remote locations, which can be time-consuming for organizations handling large volumes. Vodia simplifies this process by providing real-time streaming of CDRs using protocols like WebCDR, JSONS, TCP, and MongoDB, allowing for immediate analysis and custom report generation. Additionally, Vodia integrates with cloud storage services like AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, and Wasabi, eliminating the need for manual synchronization and local storage. This integration enhances data security, scalability and ease of management.
Vodia PBX now offers real-time call transcription through a seamless integration with Whisper AI, OpenAI’s advanced speech recognition system. With support for multiple languages, technical vocabulary, and noisy environments, Whisper delivers accurate transcriptions even in complex call scenarios. Administrators can enable transcription per tenant using an OpenAI API key, making setup simple and flexible. Once active, all calls are automatically transcribed and accessible in the user portal for easy review and record-keeping. This powerful integration brings enhanced clarity, compliance, and insight to voice communication—whether you're managing support teams, analyzing conversations, or working across language barriers.
