Thank you so much.

Hi Fresh Man,


Thank you for response!


Could I use both a Yealink W52P & Yealink W56P on same base with same number?

Hi Harvene


Yes you can. You might need to update the Firmware on the base if you are using a very old firmware

Just setup my first acct with zoiper to see if it will work and all is good. But then proceeded to hook up my grandstream 801 setup all settings, rebooted and found that on my dashboard the phone was offline =

status on grandstream - unregistered. how do I get the 2 to hookup? is there a go botton? - 

have been through settings 3 times all looks good. Thx Len

Hi Callie


As per the private ticket this has been resolved.

have checked - modem firewall

Hi Len,


I hope you are well. Please can you send me screenshots of the set up page on the device. 


Thank you. 

Hi there


In step 3 above, the IP address on my phone shows as 0.0.0.0. Any idea why that would be?


Thanks 


Louise

Hi Leslie


Yes, it is exactly the same process

I get to step 3 above and there is no IP address. I am with Afrihost and using a dLink DIR-825ACG1 router


Please help

It was not plugged in - how could I be so silly!!


Thank you!


Now the next problem is, I am able to call out from the phone, even although when making a call a hear a message that says "Unable to route your call, please contact your service provider" . The call will go through and the call can be answered, but if I try to call my fresh phone it does not ring. Did I miss something somewhere?


How do I factory reset my Yealink T 21 E2 handset?

Press and hold the OK button

I need to setup my Yealink W60B and W56H handset.  Will this be the same as for the W52P and W56P configuration please?
