¶ Introduction
This Configuration Guide provides step-by-step instructions for configuring the Fanvil V66 for use with PBXware. Support for the V66 is available starting with PBXware version 8.2.
¶ Requirements
¶ Identifying the Phone Model
Before starting the configuration, verify that you have the correct Fanvil phone model.
The model information is printed on the label located on the back of the phone. Ensure that your device is a Fanvil V66, as this guide applies specifically to that model.
¶ Phone Firmware
- Ensure that the phone is running firmware version 2.12.20.50.
- To verify the firmware version, open a web browser and enter the IP address of the Fanvil device to access the web administration interface. Example:
http://192.168.1.22 - Log in to the phone's web administration interface using your username and password. By default, the username is admin and the password is admin.
- Navigate to System > Information.
- The Software field displays the current firmware version.
¶ DHCP Server
Fully configured and operational DHCP server.
¶ PBXware Version
PBXware version 8.2
To check the PBXware version:
- Log in to PBXware
- Navigate to Settings: About.
At the top of the About page, you will see a code block similar to this:
PBXware Edition: Multi-Tenant, Release: 8.2 (387597b7), Running: 18.15.0.-gc-b47edc45, PBXware Proxy v8 (62b7bcd), API: 8, libmemcached version: 1.0.18
The Release field indicates the exact version of your PBXware.
¶ Installation
This section describes how to connect the device to power and the network, and how to restore the device to its factory default settings.
Topics covered:
- Power Adapter
- Power over Ethernet (PoE)
- Find the Phone's IP Address
- Factory Reset the Phone
¶ Power Adapter
- Connect the DC plug on the power adapter to the DC port on the device and connect the other end of the power adapter into an electrical power outlet.
- Connect the Ethernet cable between the Internet port on the device and the network port on a router or switch to access LAN.
NOTE: If you are using Power over Ethernet (PoE), you don't need to connect the AC adapter. Make sure that your network switch or router supports Power over Ethernet (PoE).
¶ Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Using a regular Ethernet cable, your device can be powered from a Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant router or switch.
- Connect the Ethernet cable between the Internet port on the device and an available port on the in-line power router or switch.
¶ Find the Phone's IP Address
To access the device web interface, first identify the IP address assigned to the Fanvil V66.
- Press the Menu soft key.
- Navigate to Status.
The device's IP address is displayed in the IP field.
¶ Factory Reset the Phone
This step is not required for brand-new, out-of-the-box phones. However, if the phone has been previously used, performing a factory reset is recommended.
To restore the Fanvil V66 to its factory default settings:
- Open a web browser and enter the phone's IP address to access the web administration interface. Example:
http://192.168.1.22 - Log in to the phone's web administration interface using your username and password. By default, the username is admin and the password is admin.
