Add the phone in Olatti with its MAC address, plug it in, and it configures itself. No SIP settings, no config files.

Before you start

  • A supported Yealink phone. Olatti sells the T31W, T73U, T87W, T88W Pro, the CP935W conference phone and the W59R and W56H cordless handsets.

  • The phone's MAC address, printed on a label on the back or underneath, twelve characters like 80:5E:C0:12:34:56.

  • If the phone came from another provider, it may still be registered to their provisioning server. See Removing a Yealink phone from a third-party provisioning server first.

Steps

  1. Go to Settings > Profile and open the Devices tab.

  2. Click Add device.

The Create device panel: Select device, MAC address, Device name and Assign to

  1. Under Select device, choose the phone model.

  2. Type the MAC address.

  3. Give it a Device name, such as "Reception desk".

  4. Assign to is the person whose calls it will ring. Leave it as you, or pick a colleague.

  5. Click Add.

  6. Connect the phone to power and the network, or Wi-Fi for the wireless models, and let it boot. If it was already on, restart it.

Within a couple of minutes the phone registers and appears as Online in the Devices list. It re-syncs its settings from Olatti once a day, so later changes reach it automatically.

Good to know

  • The Custom configuration tab on the Add device panel is for advanced settings. You won't need it for a standard setup.

  • Use Manage voicemail PIN under Settings > Voicemail to set the PIN you'll enter on the handset to hear messages.

  • Emergency calls from a desk phone go to the address registered against the number it uses. Keep that address correct, and keep a mobile to hand in case of a power cut.
