Yealink T2x & T4x phones on 3CX – Firmware upgrade issues.

You may have recently noticed that some of your Yealink T2x & T4x series devices in use on your 3CX platform have been telling you that the FW version is no longer supported and you need to upgrade.

Yet when you try and upgrade using the 3CX fw upgrade feature it fails. The phone appears to start the upgrade but then reboots and does not upgrade.

The problem specifically is an earlier FW version that users were prompted to upgrade to.

The version in question is xx.83.0.55.

Something broke FW upgrading in this version and phones that found themselves on this version are no longer able to upgrade directly to the latest recommended 3CX FW version.

The fix for this is to manually upgrade the phones to an intermediary version xx.84.0.35 that fixes the FW upgrade issue.

Worth noting that it should also be possible to provision this upgrade to the phones.

After this upgrade the phones will be able to upgrade normally using the 3CX platform.

Helpfully, 3CX have published some guides on how to do this and where you can find the required FW files.

You can find these guides here…..

https://www.3cx.com/sip-phones/yealink-t20p-t22p-t26p-t28p/

https://www.3cx.com/sip-phones/yealink-t4-series/#h.7ls0w5vyhlnd

If for any reason you are unable to perform this upgrade manually, let us know, and we may be able to assist you in provisioning this upgrade to your devices.

Corded-Cordless Communication with Yealink

Did you know you can now benefit from both corded and cordless communication with Yealink’s new T5 Series of IP desk phones? Simply connect a DD10K DECT dongle to any of the T53W, T54W or the T57W desk phones to transform it into a multi-function device, acting as both a desk phone and DECT base station with support for up to 4 DECT handsets.

Adding increased mobility by combining both fixed line and DECT to your solutions offers a range of benefits to users in a number of applications. Whether you’re looking for flexibility, or a low-cost option for your customers, Yealink’s corded-cordless offering is easy to deploy, simply connect the DD10K DECT dongle to the USB port on your handset and away you go – No complex technical operations or installation of messy cables required!

Possible Use Cases

With one fixed T5 desk phone, perhaps on a reception desk, additional members of staff can benefit from the use of a DECT phone to make and take calls when they are on the move.

Case 2 – Senior Executive Office
Give Senior Executives the best of both worlds, they can benefit from having a fixed desk phone on their desk and a DECT phone which can be seamlessly switched between when they need to leave their desk.
