Step 2: Factory Reset the Phone


Before provisioning our IP phone, we need to send it back to its factory default settings to clear any residual settings of a previous configuration. To reset the phone:

1. Press “Menu” on the phone.
2. Press “Config” or “System”.
3. Navigate down to “Factory Reset” option and press “Menu” or “OK” depending on the model.
4. Selecting and confirming “OK” will restart your phone, which will after be successfully reset.

Step 3: Provision the Phone via Plug’n’Play


This method is recommended for phones on the local LAN or behind the 3CX SBC:

1. Connect the phone to the network. A PnP request will be sent automatically.
2. Go to the Management Console ⇒ “Phones” node. The new phone will be marked in Bold.
3. Click on the BOLD entry and choose between “Assign Ext” or “Add Ext”, depending on whether you want to assign the phone to an existing extension or create a new one.
4. All major provisioning settings are pre-populated. If your PBX has multiple network cards, select which network this IP Phone is connected to.
5. Click “OK”. The phone will automatically configure and reboot to finalize the setup.

And that’s it. If you want to know any possible limitation, need to use another provisioning method or extended phone configuration please visit the respective guide:
