Step 1:
Login to the web interface of your Technicolor router using the Engineer details below:
Username = engineer
Password = (Access key found on the back of the router)
If router model isn’t a DGA0122 then skip the next 2 steps and go to Step 4.
Step 2:
Once logged in go to System Info > Configuration tab > Local Upgrade > Choose File > Upgrade as shown below:
Step 3:
Once the upgrade has been completed you will need to factory reset the router by logging back in as engineer and going to > System Info > Configuration tab > and click Reset.
Step 4:
Time to put our provisioning URL into the router.

It is still possible to access the old-style web user interface of the D862 and D865 by navigating to the IP address of your phone with “http” and port “3112”:
Example: http://192.168.1.15:3112
Securing the old-style interface
Once you have accessed the old-style web user interface, it will display security advice where you can setup a HTTP user, HTTP Password and an administrator password to secure your device. If you accidentally navigate away from this page, you can go to ‘Advanced > QoS/Security’ and configure these settings from there:
How to login to the new web user interface and secure it.
You’ve received your new Snom phone, you’ve plugged it into the network, it has obtained its IP address. You enter this into your web browser and you are presented with this login page. There’s no default username or passwords here so go ahead and click the ‘Authenticate’ button to login.
Once logged in, you will see some warnings saying a password has not been set for the ‘admin’ and ‘user’ account. To configure these, go to ‘Security > Advanced’ and populate the fields below and click ‘Apply’.
New provisioning parameters for a new interface
Due to the Snom D862 and D865 having a new web user interface to manage the devices, there are also new provisioning parameters to secure them.
Turning off admin mode will restrict unauthorised access to admin settings such as performing a factory reset, changing SIP credentials etc.
Web user interface method
To turn admin mode ‘off’ via the web user interface go to ‘Advanced > QoS/Security’ and set “Administrator mode” to ‘off’ and click ‘save’. – Default pin is ‘0000’ but ensure this is changed to secure your phone even further.
Phone user interface method
You can turn ‘admin’ mode off on the phone user interface by accessing the following:
‘Menu > System > Administrator Access = Off > Save’

If desired on your Yealink Teams phone you can set a screen lock to prevent unauthorized people from making changes to your device, scheduled meetings or prevent them from making outbound calls. When the screen is locked you can still answer incoming calls.
Step 1 – Press your account icon in the top right hand corner where it shows your account’s presence status
Step 2 – Select ‘Settings’
Step 3 – On the settings page scroll down and select ‘Device Settings’
Step 4 – On the ‘device settings’ page find ‘Phone Lock’ and move ‘Lock Enable’ to the ‘ON’ position. Once you have done that enter a PIN with the minimum length of 6 digits, and then enter the digits again to confirm them. You may also wish to decrease the idle time-out to something less that 15 minutes as there’s no way to manually lock the device.
Step 5 – When your phone screen locks it should change to the one shown in the image below, press the padlock icon and enter your pin to unlock to the device.
If you would like to disable screen lock, go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Device Settings’ and change ‘Phone Lock’ to disabled. If your device is forcibly being set with a screen lock you must speak to your system administrator about getting it disabled.
If you have purchased your Yealink Team’s devices from ProVu and you are having difficulty with this blog post, or anything else related to your device please send an email to support@provu.co.uk explaining your issue.
The following blog post was done with a T56A running firmware version 58.15.0.124. The same steps should apply to the following models on the latest firmware version: T55A, T56A, T58A, CP960, MP54, MP56, MP58
You can enable hybrid mode directly through the web user interface of the Teams device. This allows you to use a SIP account to make and receive calls, as well as using your Teams account.
Part 1 – Enable Hybrid mode
Step 1 – Access the web user interface of the phone by entering the IP address of the device in to a web browser. You need to specify ‘https’ and port ‘443’, (Example: https://192.168.1.15:443) in order for the login page to load otherwise you will see an error saying this site cannot be reached.
Step 2 – Once you are presented with the login page for the web user interface, login to the device. By default the credentials are ‘admin’ for the username and password.
Step 3 – Select Hybrid mode down the column to the left and choose basic. When the page loads move the ‘Hybrid Mode’ slider to ‘ON’.
You will then be presented with two settings, SIP Idle timeout and Quick Ball. The SIP Idle timeout configures if the device should revert back to teams mode after a period of inactivity. The Quick Ball mode is a handy setting that when enabled presents a little button on the screen to flick between teams mode and Hybrid (SIP) mode.
Step 4 – Once you are happy with the settings picked click confirm and the phone will restart.
Step – 5 Once the phone has restarted login to the web user interface and click ‘Account’ to setup your SIP account on this device.
Note: If you have Quick Ball turned off, you will need to follow the steps below to access Hybrid mode from the phone user interface otherwise you can easily flick between the two modes via the Quick Ball.
Part 2 – Access SIP (Hybrid mode) from the Phone User Interface
Step 1 – From the settings menu go to ‘device settings’, or when on the sign in screen click the cog symbol highlighted in the image below.
Step 2 – When the new page opens click ‘Device settings’
Step 3 – Once on the ‘device settings’ page scroll down to ‘Hybrid Mode’ and you should see the page as shown in the image below. To proceed to access ‘Hybrid mode’ click ‘Access Survivability App’
If you would like to quickly switch between your teams and SIP account I would recommend turning on the Quick Ball feature. This will allow you to change between Teams mode and Hybrid mode at the click of a button. The ‘SIP Idle timeout’ configures if the device should revert back to teams mode after a period of inactivity.
Step 4 – Once you have clicked Survivability you will see a similar screen to the one below and if you have an account registered you can start placing and receiving calls.
In the image below you can see a little circle in the bottom right corner saying teams. This is the Quick Ball to easily change modes, otherwise press the two lines at the bottom of the screen to go back to teams mode and follow the steps above to get back in to hybrid mode.

At the time of writing, and to the best of our knowledge these are the requirements to be able to log in to a Yealink Teams device with a Microsoft Teams account.
You will need one of the following Microsoft subscriptions, but these do not allow PSTN calling. It’s only possible to communicate with other Teams users on your system. Please also note you can not login with a free to use Microsoft Teams account.
Supported Microsoft Teams Subscriptions:
Microsoft 365 Business Basic
Microsoft 365 Business Standard
Microsoft 365 Business Premium
Microsoft 365 E3 or A3
Office 365 E3 or A3
If you want to place PSTN calls you will also need an additional subscription to the Microsoft 365 Business Voice service (available for qualifying plans only) or have a Microsoft 365 E5 service.
Please be aware that Microsoft 365 and Office 365 are not the same.
Below are some links so you can compare the available services, but make sure to read the small print to fully understand which services are offered and which are excluded with the plan. If you are still unsure I’d recommend reaching out to Microsoft and explaining your interest and requirements.
Important: Additional Microsoft plans are required for the Yealink Microsoft Teams Rooms Systems. This page can be used to identify which plan you will need.
