Yealink Star Connection is where you can connect multiple devices together.

The CP960 supports this feature so you can have larger conferences.

You can connect up to four CP960’s together, one will be the master phone and the rest will act as slave phones.

The Master phone will keep all of its features but the slave phones only sync some of the features of the master phone such as call mute and DND. The slave phones are only used for speakers and microphones.

Here is how to set up Star Connection:

Please note: before you start you must make sure that all the Yealink CP960’s are on the same subnet.

From the CP960 that you want to be the Master unit go to > Settings > Advanced Settings (default password: admin) > CP Star Connection > Create Group (this will generate a random four digit pin)

Now from the slave units go to > Settings > Advanced Settings > CP Star Connection > Search Group (this will automatically find the Master unit if they are on the same subnet) > once it finds the Master unit click > Join > enter the four digit pin displayed on the Master unit > OK.

The Slave units will then reboot into slave mode as shown below:

Once the slave units have rebooted you will be presented with a message on both units as per below:

Once all the Slave units have rebooted and you have confirmed by pressing ‘OK‘ you can then ‘Stop Broadcast‘ on the Master unit.

You have now successfully setup Yealink CP Star Connection.

If you are managing phones in ProSys whether that be adoptions or phones bought from ProVu, here is how to add any provisioning parameter onto the phone:

On the ProSys Dashboard locate the phone you wish to add configuration to by either searching for the MAC address or selecting the make and model from ‘List all devices‘ as shown below:

• 

Once you have located the phone you wish to add provisioning to click on ‘View‘ or ‘Alid‘ under ‘Device Details’ as per the image below:

Then select ‘Edit Config‘ or ‘Add Conifig’

Once you are on the configuration page go to > ‘Add Any Setting‘ tab > from here you can add any provisioning parameter you like in the ‘Key‘ and ‘Value‘ fields:

You should be able to find the provisioning parameters for your phone on the administration guide for the make and model.

Once you have found the parameters you wish to provisioning for example ‘Timezone‘ setting for Gigaset

You will enter the following:

Once you have entered the parameter click ‘Save configuration‘ then the next time the phone calls home to our server it should pull down its new setting or you can simple reboot the phone to make it call home faster.
