Hi Vaughan, 


It shouldn't be as these settings are set on dial out (the cli is collected from our database) so it shouldn't even require a re-registration but its always good to give a device a reboot to be safe.


Thanks!

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

Press and hold the OK button

Device Offline and Register failed

 

My service is intermittent.  We run for a while and then don’t have a connection. We’ve lived with it from the beginning and become accustomed to an uncertain service.  I offered to share the experience with a neighbour needing to escape from a fixed LTE in a poor service area and realized just how I have allowed it to drift.  I do hope you can help to debug this arrangement.

My exploration shows the SIP Dashboard is showing “Device Offline”.

And, the Yealink configuration app shows “Register failed”.  I have Account 1 and Account 2 Enabled to carry the ported Telkom number and the Freshphone 087 number.

Hardware is a Yealink W60B with a single W56H handset.

Internet is by Axxess over fibre through a Tenda router.

Now it is working.  No intervention by myself. Overnight fix.......?

Hi Robin


This will be your issue

And, the Yealink configuration app shows “Register failed”.  I have Account 1 and Account 2 Enabled to carry the ported Telkom number and the Freshphone 087 number. 


Your account is the 2787 number and not your ported number. Your ported number points at that 2787 number, so please remove the account on the Yealink that has your ported number as a username. 


The account will be seen as a hacking attempt on our server (due to incorrect credentials coming through, ie your ported number as a username) Our Blacklisting software will block your public IP( the IP address of your internet connection) Every few days that blacklist is flushed, like what happened on Monday night so that its working for you again. But it will soon be blacklisted again

Hi team, 


We have setup the registration correctly, when we dial into the phone it does not display the "Display name" as the Telkom number, it only shows the VOIP number. 


How do we change the display name? 


Please advise


Kind Regards


Mayson
