iPECS Cloud – Yealink W73H Setup 

 

 

To register the Yealink W73H on Cloud, you will need a Yealink W70B licence. Make sure you are connecting the Yealink W73H on a Yealink W70B base.

 

The first thing you will need before configuring the device is an authentication ID and password. If you need assistance on setting up a 3rd party SIP phone authentication ID and password please look at knowledge base article.

 

Now that the user is created, you will need to make sure that you have the User ID, Authentication ID and Password. This can be found against the user within User Setup and then in the device tab from within the cloud portal. The KB can be found here.

 

You will also need to know the 3rd party SIP SBC address which is 185.110.180.13 (this will be different if you are a VSP reseller) – make sure this is set as the Outbound Proxy Server and Server Host in the device with 5060 as the preferred port.

 

Then make sure the Line Active status is set to Enabled.

 

Now enter your authentication ID from the cloud portal into the Register Name and User Name field.

 

Lastly enter your password.

 

To find the IP address of the Yealink W70B base.

 

Press ‘End call’ (red button) until you’re back on the home screen

 

Press ‘Ok’

 

Select ‘Status’ (the icon with a green circle and the letter “i” in the middle) and press ‘Ok’

 

Select ‘Base’ and press ‘Ok’

 

The Yealink phone will show IP: and the IP address

 

2. Make sure that your computer is connected to the same network and then enter that IP address in your computer’s web browser address bar.

 

3. You should then see the Yealink login page, the default username is admin and default password is admin. See below

 

 

 

 

 

If all these details are correct your device will now register. 

 

 

 

Disable G722 Codec and make PCMA first choice as shown below 

 

 

 

Set the DTMF Type to SIP INFO and DTMF Info Type to DTMF

 

 

Note Yealink added a feature to the W73H whereby an answer beep tone is provided when the called party answers

 

Best practice to secure your SIP DECT unit:

  • Please take note that these settings are best practice and are not guaranteed to prevent the unit from unsolicited access.
  • Features tab under general information change, Accept SIP Trust Server Only to ON.
  • Features tab under general information change, Allow IP Call to OFF

 

 

 

 

 

In Features/Remote Control, the Action URI Allow IP List is for the Remote-Control feature.  This should be left blank (default) so that no remote IP Address can control the phone.

 

 

 

 

  • Account tab left side Register and change Password, this password must be as secure as possible so please use uppercase & lowercase letters characters and numbers as a combination.
  • Account tab left side Register and change Server Expires, change to 90 seconds.
  • Account tab left side Register and change Proxy Fall-back Interval to 90 seconds.

 

 

 

  • In Network/Advanced,/Web Server, set HTTP Disabled, check  HTTPS Enabled, HTTPS Port, change port to a non-well known one for example 46033.

 

 

 

 

  • Lastly secure the login details as the admin login, create the password as secure as possible as per the below screen shot. Do not use the same password on multiple devices as it compromises your password. At the time of testing the maximum length password was 28 characters. If you use mot than 28 characters, then it will be accepted but you would not be able to login to the device and will have to default it.
