Our Range of Wi-Fi Enabled Deskphones

Last updated: 14th June 2019

More and more we are receiving requests from customers who want to use their deskphones via a Wi-Fi connection, there could be all sorts of reasons behind this relating to practicality, cost, and reliability.

Whilst we would recommend a wired connection wherever possible due to its greater stability, especially in areas with poor Wi-Fi signal, that of course isn’t always an option.

With that in mind (and for our own reference as much as anyone else’s!) I have compiled below a list of our deskphones ordered by brand that have Wi-Fi built-in, or a supported solution available:

Other phones in our portfolio may work with 3rd-party equipment, such as Wi-Fi dongles or access points, however these are not supported.

Please note: By using a USB dongle to enable Wi-Fi, you will take use of the USB port on the phone and therefore may restrict other features.

Using our product images on your website

We quite often receive requests from resellers who want to use the product images of the kit we supply on their own website.

We host different sized images and product datasheets for lots of the products we sell, these are stored logically using our product part codes, this means they can be easily accessed and pulled for use on your website.

It’s pretty simple really!

We have produced a guide for programmers which will explain everything you need to know so you can start integrating images into your own website.

Download the guide here: Using ProVu’s product images

We try our best to store images for all of our products, but if there is anything that you come across that is missing and you would like to access, please let us know and we will do our best to add the images to our library.

How to route calls via prefixes on the 2N VoiceBlue Next

If you are using prefixes from your PBX in order to route out via different SIM cards you need to configure the voiceblue to be expecting this. The first thing you will need to do is assign the SIM cards to a GSM group. In this blog it’s configured for two SIM cards/prefixes.

1. In the web user interface go to Gateway configuration > GSM group assignment and set each module to have their own group and press save.

2. Now we need to configure the prefixes that the voiceblue needs to be looking out for when a call gets sent to it. Under “Gateway configuration” go to “Prefixes” and then select one of the prefix tabs along the top.

2b) Once you’ve selected one of the Prefixlists we need to set the “Default count of digits” to the digit length we will be sending out via the SIM card and not how many are being sent to the voiceblue via the pbx. Example the voiceblue receives 12 digits and sends out 11 to the mobile network.

2c) Then we need to configure the table of accepted prefixes. This configures what prefix the voiceblue is looking for. In the “Detect prefix” field enter the desired prefix you are using then press “Add”. It should then appear in the list.

2d) Then we need to configure the “Table of replaced prefixes”. When the “/” is highlighted click the “Remove” button. Once removed in the “Remove prefix” field enter the desired prefix you are using and click the “add” button. Example: it should appear in the list as “8/”

2e) Once you’ve configured the above press save at the bottom and repeat for each prefix being used but remember to use a different list.

3a) Now we need to configure the LCR table. Go to “Gateway configuration” > “LCR table” and configure the first VoIP LCR by clicking the edit button.

3b) Then select the prefixlist that is going to be used for the first SIM group by editing “prefixlist or number of digits” with the prefixlist tab you configured earlier.

3c) We now need to configure the SIM group by going to “Groups/Tariffs” and selecting the required GSM group we created earlier.

3d) Press the OK button and then save the settings.

3e) Press the copy button for the VoIP LCR we just edited and then edit the prefixlist and GSM group as before for the second SIM routing and press OK and Save.

4) You should now be able to make calls via the desired SIM using prefixes on the voiceblue next.
