Regardless of whether on a single number or on the cloud telephone system, the basic settings of the telephone are of course identical. In addition, the access and basic configuration of the SoundStation is the same, regardless of the subsequent connection.
1. Access to the web interface of the device
First connect the device to the local network via the "LAN port". If the phone is not supplied with power via a PoE port (Power over Ethernet), the power supply unit must also be connected to the phone. During the boot process, the phone obtains the IP address from your DHCP server, which you can then use to access the web interface. Please select the "Admin" option under "Login As" and use the factory default password "456" (without " and "). Click on "Submit" to enter the configuration interface.
2. Basic settings
Now switch to the "Simplified setup" tab and make the basic settings.
Language: In this sub-item, you can specify the language in which the notifications on the device display and the web interface are displayed.
Time synchronization: The time server used is specified here. The time zone is also set here.
3. Set up SIP access
Now open the "Simplified setup" tab and then the "SIP server" sub-item.
The data you need to enter here depends on your VoIP product:
