Connecting to the VoIP PBX
Depending on your switch different settings will be required for your FLX to work in your environment. First of all, the FLX will
require an IP address. The IP address can either be obtained from a DHCP server in your network, or be statically set on the
phone. The phone is preset to DHCP. If you want to change this, please open the menu on the handset by pressing the right
soft key, go to the ‘Setup’ menu, and select ‘Advanced Setup’. You will have to enter a password, which is preset to 7386.
Now select ‘Network Settings’. Under ‘IP Settings’ you can set the required network values like IP address, subnet mask,
Default Gateway, and DNS servers. You will need to restart the phone for any changes you made in this section to take effect.
If you are using DHCP, you can go to the System Info menu, and select About System. The assigned IP address for the FLX
will be shown here. If you configured a VLAN (Virtual LAN) for your voice traffic on your IP network, you need to either enable
VLAN on the FLX dialer and provide the VLAN identifier, or select “Automatic”, in which case the FLX will try to determine the
VLAN settings of your network at startup.
Independent on how the IP address of your system was assigned, the FLX phone has to be configured to work in your VoIP
environment, and communicate with your IP PBX. You will have to enable the extension (user) you want to use with the FLX
on your IP PBX. Please review your PBX 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 IP PBX. 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.
If further settings are required to connect the FLX phone to your IP PBX, like a Proxy server, please visit the FLX Web
Interface. You get to this interface by entering the IP address of the FLX into the web browser of your choice. After you
entered the password (7386, unless you changed it in the handset), you can find the SIP settings under the Administrator tab
on the top right. You will find the different SIP settings under SIP Registration, SIP Configuration, Transport, and Media. You
have to press ‘Save’ an every page where you changed an entry to save these changes. If you do not press ‘Save’, the
changes will be lost when you leave that page. Restart the phone once you are finished with your changes.
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 IP PBX 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, either press the red hang-up button on the Dialer, or return all Microphones to the Charger Base.
To make a call using the Dialer as a handset, do not remove any Microphone from 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 hang-up button on the Dialer.
To toggle between handset and speaker phone mode, remove a Microphone out of the Charger Tray and use the button
on the Dialer.
To answer a call in speaker phone mode, simply remove one or more Microphones from the Charger Base when the
Speaker rings.
If a microphone is already out of the charger base when an incoming call comes in, press the button on the microphone to
answer the call in speaker phone mode.
You can also use the Dialer to answer the call by pressing the green call button on the handset. If all microphones are in the
charger at this time, the call will be answered using the handset mode. If at least one microphone is switched on and not in
the charger base, this will answer the call in speaker phone mode.
