Line for using your phone

Over View

Extension should be attached to a line to be able to make and receive calls. Otherwise, the extension just be allowed to use a limited number of QX telephony services, such as the voice mail service to store and manage the messages from callers.

...

...

Operating Instructions

  1. Go to the Interfaces→IP Lines page.

...

  1. From the Attached Extension column, choose an extension to be assigned to the IP phone and click on the corresponding IP line link.

Note: This table lists only the extensions attached to IP lines. If the extension is not listed on this page, open the Extensions Management page and attach an IP line to the extension by editing the extension settings.

  1. Click on the IP Line hyperlink, the IP Line Settings--IP Line# page will be opened.
  2. Select the IP Phone option to configure the line and choose the model of the IP phone from the Phone Model drop-down list.
  3. Enter the MAC Address of the phone.

...

  1. Set the number for intended simultaneous calls (the total number of active and held calls), in the Line Appearance field. If this field is set to 1, only one active call will be possible on the phone. Making or accepting a second call while the other is on hold will not be allowed.

Note: The maximum allowed number of Htek 924 is 4, and Htek 926 is 6.

  1. The QX authorizes each IP phone by a unique username and a password specified on the IP Line Settings page. In case of auto configuration, they are specified on the QX and are automatically included in the phone's configuration file generated by the QX. By default, the QX assigns a unique username and password to each IP line. The user may either keep these values or specify new ones. The Password field security strength is checked and displayed just below the entry. To achieve a well-protected, strong password, a minimum of 8 characters is required, consisting of letters in upper and lower case, symbols and numbers. If you are unable to define a strong password, click the Generate Password to use one of the system defined strong passwords.
  2. The Transport drop-down list is used to select the SIP protocol transport layer--UDP, TCP or TLS. For TLS you may activate the TLS certificate update mechanism from IP Phone to obtain the latest certificate generated by the QX.
  3. Click Save to submit the changes.

TIP: If the IP Line is activated successfully, you will see the Line's State changes from Free to Configured.
