If you already have a supported Yealink device that you would like to provision on UNIVERGE BLUE™ CONNECT, you can easily set up the device using the Enhanced BYOP method.

In this article, we will cover the following topics:

• Add device in Control Panel
• Enter the provisioning URL via web interface

Firmware Requirements for Enhanced BYOP

While it's not always necessary, upgrading the firmware can potentially correct various issues during the auto-provisioning process known as Enhanced BYOP.

Yealink devices acquired from third-party sellers often have random or inconsistent firmware previously installed on the device, which means there is a chance the device's current firmware is too old to work flawlessly with the provisioning server.

If you find that you are unable to provision your device using the Enhanced BYOP, it may be beneficial to check the current firmware of the device, and update it if necessary. Below is a list of known working firmware for each Yealink device.

Add device in Control Panel

1. Login to Control Panel and navigate to UNIVERGE BLUE™ CONNECT  > Devices > Activate New Device.
2. Select the Brand and Model of your device.
3. Enter MAC address. MAC address can be found on the back of the phone. 
4. Assign a user and 911 address.
5. Click Add device. 

Enter the provisioning URL into the phone

Once the provisioning URL is entered, the phone will configure itself from the Voice Services provisioning server.

Note: phone hardware should always be reset to factory settings before you provision it, to do it on Yealink go to Settings > Upgrade > Reset to Factory. 

How to configure a Yealink phone using the Web UI

1. Plug in the phone power cord and network cable. The phone begins initializing and the lights on the phone will flash (this should take about 5 seconds to complete). While the phone is connecting, it automatically finds the local DHCP server and gets its IP address.
2. Obtain the IP address of your phone:
   1. Press the "Menu" button on or below the screen.
   2. Press the "OK" button on 1. Status
   3. This page displays the "IP" of the phone under 1.IPv4
3. On your computer open web browser and type the phone's IP address in to the browser's search (address) field to open web interface for the Yealink phone.
4. Log in to the phone using default user name and password:
   Login: admin
   Password: admin
   
   Note: if you can not login using these credentials, then the phone was not reset to factory settings. 
   
   
5. Go to Security > Trusted Certificates and set "Only Accept Trusted Certificates" to Disabled.
   
6. Navigate to Settings > Auto Provision and change the following information
   1. In the "Server URL" field, copy and paste the URL below:
      
      http://cfgphone.com
      
      or
      
      https://config.telecomsvc.com:6716/configServlet/Yealink
      
      if none of the above links is working you can try using the following:
                         https://phoneprov.telecomsvc.com:6716/configServlet/Yealink

6. Click Confirm at the bottom of the page.
   
   
   
7. The phone will restart itself. Do not unplug the phone from the power while it's restarting. The phone may restart several times.
8. Once the phone is done provisioning it will display your extension number in addition to the display preferences you configured for the device in Control Panel and the phone can be used.

Important: Dutch language is not supported by Yealink phones. If selected in Control Panel – it will default to US English.
