Setting up a Yealink SIP-T46U with VoIP.ms

Note:

• If you want to use the BLF feature, you will need to contact voip.ms support and request that they activate it for the server that you are using.
• If you are going to be using an incoming DID number, you must ensure it's setup in the DID's settings to forward to the server you are going to be connecting to.
• These instructions setup encrypted SIP traffic. You will want to ensure that this is activated in your sub-account advanced settings.

What you need to get started

To get started, you will need the following:

• A Yealink T46U IP Phone
• Valid login credentials for a voip.ms account or sub account

You will also need to know the IP address if your phone. The phone by default will pull an IP address via DHCP. To check the IP address of your phone you:

1. Press the center button where the arrows
2. Find the IP address of the phone received in the section IPv4

Connecting to the phone

Connect to the phone via browser of your choice. If this is the first time you have logged into the phone, you will be prompted to update the password. The default username/password are both admin.

Note: The default admin password will be on the sticker below the IP Phone.

After the login, the system will ask you to change the default password.
