3.2 Initial Boot-up and Configuration

Upon successful power connection, the phone will begin its boot-up sequence. This may take a few minutes. The display will show the Yealink logo and then proceed to load the operating system.

• Network Settings: By default, the phone attempts to obtain network settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS) via DHCP. If your network requires static IP configuration, this can be set up via the phone's menu or web interface.
• SIP Account Registration: Your service provider will typically provide the necessary SIP account details for registration. These can be entered via the phone's menu or, for more complex setups, through the phone's web administration interface.
• Accessing Web Interface: To access the phone's web interface for advanced configuration, obtain the phone's IP address from the phone's menu (Menu > Status). Enter this IP address into a web browser on a computer connected to the same network.
