VoIP configuration
For the FLX phone to work within a VoIP environment the phone has to be set up to communicate to the telephone switch. You will also have to enable the extension (user) you want to use with the FLX on your switch. Please review your switch documentation on information on how to do that. For the minimal setup, in the FLX Handset you will have to provide information on the IP connection to the telephone switch. To do this visit Setup – Advanced Setup – Network Settings – VOIP Settings. Under Registrar, provide the IP address or host name of your IP PBX. Username should be the extension or name under which you want to register this phone on the IP PBX. In Password, provide the password for this username. If no values are provided for ID and Display Name, the Username entry will be used for them. Select ‘Reload Settings’ after you have set the values in the handset, which will restart the base.
For enhanced settings the Web Interface provided by the FLX needs to be used. Go to page 49 for a description of the web interface.
Making a call
To make a conference call, take at least one of the Microphones out of the Charger Base, and take the Dialer out of the Charger Base. You can remove all Microphones and the Speaker if you wish, but this is not required. Use the Dialer to enter the number you want to call, including any leading digits your VoIP telephone switch might require. The Speaker and any Microphone that is not in the Charger Base will be active during the call. To finish a conference call, press the red
NOTE: It is also possible to have a conference call with the microphones in the charger base. However, due to the proximity of microphone and speaker at that time, audio quality might be impacted. The maximum volume of the speaker is limited while the microphones are in the charger base. Microphones that are placed into the charger base are switched off. To use microphones in the charger base for phone calls they first have to be switched on. You do this by pressing the button on the microphone while it is in the charger. The microphone will start in a muted state. Once it starts blinking red, unmute it by pressing the mute button once again. Microphones in the charger base never transmit audio to the AUX OUT connector. If any microphone is active outside of the charger base, microphones in the charger base cannot be activated (unmuted) for the call.
To make a call using the Dialer as a handset, make sure that all Microphones are in the Charger Base before starting to dial the number. At this point, only the Dialer will be used for the call. To end the call, press the red
At any time during a call you can toggle between handset and conference phone mode using the buttons on the Dialer.
