From VoIP.ms Wiki

It provides traditional features, such as call forwarding, redialing, speed dialing, transferring calls, conference calling, and accessing voice mail. Calls can be made or received with a handset, headset or speaker.

Your Cisco IP Phone provides a web interface for the phone user that allows you to configure some features of your phone by using a web browser.

This article will guide you through the steps for basic configuration to make it work with VoIP.ms

---

Step 1
Get the IP address of your phone

a. Press Setup.
b. Select to Status > Network Status.
c. Scroll to view IP Address. This is the IP address of your phone.

You should now have a number which is similar to 192.168.xxx.xxx

Step 2
Logging in to the Phone Web User Interface

• On your PC, open a Web browser window. Your PC must be on the same subnetwork as the phone.
• Enter the IP address in the browser address bar.

You will now see this screen:

• Click on the "Admin Login" button near the top right side of the screen, then click on the "Ext 1" tab.

Step 3
Configure with your VoIP.ms account

Find the following fields on the "Ext" tab and configure accordingly.

Nat Keep Alive: Yes
Nat Mapping/Traversal: Yes
Proxy: atlanta.voip.ms (one of the multiple VoIP.ms servers, you can choose the one closer to your location.)
Register Expires: 300
Display Name: Your outbound callerID Name (See the requirements below) (Replace with your name or company name)
User ID: 100000 (Replace with your 6 digits Main SIP account UserID or Sub Account user name, e.g. 123456 or 123456_sub)
Password: ******** (SIP Account Password)
Use DNS SRV: NO
DNS SRV Auto Prefix: NO

IMPORTANT for Display Name:
  - We suggest entering your outbound Caller ID Name must be in capital letters. This will appears more clearly/visible on some devices.
  - You must NOT use any special characters, they will not be displayed. 
  - Enter a max of 15 characters. Some of regular Canadian providers will not show more than 15 characters max. We suggest shrinking or adapt your caller ID. 
  - Spaces are allowed in a caller id name.

*If a second extension is needed, click on "Ext 2" and repeat Step 3. Please make sure to increment the SIP port by one. For example, Ext 1 SIP port: 5060;
 Ext 2 SIP port: 5061. Make sure you also click on Phone Tab to route the Extensions to the proper lines.

Step 4

Configure your dial plan

This step can be considered optional however this is a dial plan that is optimized to work with VoIP.ms service.

Find the dial plan section of your line and enter the following string:

(911S0|310xxxx|<:1555>[2-9]xxxxxx|1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|*xx|***xxx|*xx.|[3468]11|822|0|00|4xxx|**275*x.|xxxxxxxxxxxx.)

If done properly, after completing all these steps your phone will now be ready to place and receive calls!
