Getting Started

This chapter will show you the basic process of phone's start-up and instructions of the way to get the basic information of the phone. Topics include:

Phone Initialization

After your phone is powered on, the phone will boot up, complete the initialization and check firmware. Please refer to the three phases of the LCD display:

In the process of initializing, the phone will attempt to contact a DHCP server in your network to obtain valid IPv4 network settings (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address and DNS address) by default.

Phone Status

After the phone comes up, you can view phone status on phone user interface (LCD) via the following ways:

  • Press "OK" button twice.
  • Press the following button one by one: Menu→Status→Information.

Available information of phone status includes:

  • Network status (e.g., IPv4 status, IP mode, MAC address).
  • Phone status (e.g., product name, firmware version, MAC address and device certificate status).
  • Language information.

Press "Up" or "Down" to scroll through the list and view the specific information.

Auto-Provisioning your phone

The way of provision with Yeastar phone system is Provisioning via Plug and play (Local LAN), which is mainly used in the situation where Htek phone and Yeastar phone system are in same subnet.

2. Then the phone will send multicast package to network equipment with its MAC address. The sip server receives it and replies 200 OK.
3. Sip server sends notify message with its URL.
4. The phone replies 200 OK.
5. The phone will get the config files from the URL that notify message contains in the following order:
factory00xx.bin→cfg00xx.xml→cfgxxx (xxx is phone's MAC address)→cfgxxx.xml(xxx is phone's MAC address)→fwxxx.rom(xxx is phone's model)→phonebook/htek.xml
