Yealink Configuration

If your company has a Yealink IP phone 📱 you can configure it according to your company’s needs from the online panel. Yealink configuration is simple and in this way, your agents/telephone operators, will be able to get the most out of all the features offered to them. Find out everything you need to know in this short guide!

To make it easier for you to set up the features correctly, we are going to explain step by step where the location of the feature is and how to set it up for correct operation according to the company’s needs.

In this case, we are going to provide you with images of the configuration panel of a Yealink terminal, so if your model is another the image may vary a little in the exact location of things. The tabs of the panel that we must configure are:

  • Account
  • Network
  • Features
  • Settings
  • Agenda
  • Security

What are the previous steps to configure Yealink?

Before we start configuring the Yealink terminal we must first obtain the IP address of the phone once it is powered on and connected to the network. The IP address can be found by going to MENU > STATUS > IPv4. Once you have found the 10 digits of the IP address of your terminal (example: 172.167.1.12) enter it in the browser of your PC and click on search. Then, we will get the access panel where we must enter the credentials, by default they are the following:

  • User: admin
  • Password: admin

How to perform Yealink Configuration?

To start configuring Yealink, once we have accessed the panel with the IP of the phone, we must set the IDIOMA in which we want the platform to be displayed. To do this, we will go to the top right of the screen where by default will appear English (English), but if we click on the drop-down we will get Español (Spanish). Click on it and it will automatically change the language of the entire platform.

How to make Yealink configuration in its latest version?

The first thing to do is to go to the top bar to SETTINGS. Once here we go to the left sidebar to UPDATE look where it says Select and update the firmware, we give Browse and here we must upload the file that you previously have to download to your computer. When you have selected it, click on UPLOAD.

You can download the file here for your Yealink phone and where it says Firmware and release notes look for the latest version and download it. The latest firmware file to download will have New next to it (for example: T21P_E2-52.84.0.125. From New).

When we have loaded the file we will get a warning (like the one in the image below) telling us that the firmware is being updated and to please do not turn off the computer or touch anything so that it can work without interruptions.

If it has already been updated, the platform will restart and ask for your credentials again. Remember that as we have not changed them yet, they are the ones we indicated at the beginning. When you have logged in again go to SETTINGS > TIME AND DATE. From here we will configure:

  • DHCP time: in the dropdown select Enabled.
  • Time zone: look for España (+1 Spain, France,…)
  • Summer time: select Automatic.
  • Location: we select Spain (Madrid) regardless of whether your location is in Madrid or not.

When you have filled it in, don’t forget to hit CONFIRM.

Now, inside SETTINGS, go to the left sidebar and look for SIP. When you locate it enter to configure the following fields:

  • Local SIP port: Enter a value between 45000 and 46000 (for example let’s say 45200)
  • TLS SIPs port: we enter a correlative value to the one entered before for security (for example 45202).

If you have already entered the data click CONFIRM.

How to configure Security options in Yealink?

The next step in this guide to setting up Yealink is the configuration of your own Yealink account: CHANGE PASSWORD.

Here you must select what type of user you are (user or administrator) and then proceed to fill in the following fields:

  • Old Password: if it is the first time you change it you must put admin, which is the password that comes with the platform by default.
  • New Password: you must enter the new password you want to have.
  • Confirm password: you must repeat the new password that you want to have for security.

When you have filled in the fields and you do not get any warning that the password you have confirmed does not match the new password you want to set, then press CONFIRM.
