¶ Introduction
This Configuration Guide is written as a general guide on how to configure the Yealink DECT IP Base Station W75 and the handset W74H to work with PBXware 7.3.
¶ Requirements
¶ Identifying Device Model
To start and successfully complete the registration of the Yealink device, you need to know which device model to set up.
On the back of each Yealink device, there is model information that you should check. Although various device models can have exactly the same requirements and installation procedures, device models can also have significantly different requirements and installation procedures, so that is why it is important to know the model you own which results in you setting up the device successfully.
¶ DECT IP Base Station Firmware
- Make sure that the device is loaded with an appropriate firmware version, 175.85.0.5.
- To find out the firmware version of your Yealink device model, open a new browser window and enter your device's IP address in order to access the device's web administration interface login screen. Example:
http://192.168.1.22. - Log in to the device's web administration interface with your username and password. Please note that the factory default login details are as follows: username is admin and password is admin.
¶ DHCP Server
Fully configured and operational DHCP server.
