How to Set Up Fanvil SIP Hotspot and Door Phones
To set up your Fanvil door phone, you need to first register it to the SIP server. Your SIP server will provide necessary information such as domain, port number, outbound proxy IP, extension and password, etc.
Next, you will need to add an SIP account on the SIP hotspot device.
Step1. Add one sip account on a SIP hotspot device. Add the sip account info from SIP server on hotspot device
Step2. Enable SIP hotspot service on hotspot device
Step3. Enable SIP hotspot service on sip hotspot clients Enable hotspot and select client as mode.
Type, monitor and local port must be the same as sip hotspot.
Step 4. Move unmanaged extensions to managed ones Go to Hotspot Managed Extension page, move all clients from Unmanaged part to Managed part.
Now when all the clients are online, users can call each other with the extension number assigned by SIP hotspot device.
Once a SIP hotspot is registered to the sip server, all the clients will use the same extension to call out or receive incoming calls. When there are incoming calls, all clients will ring together with SIP hotspot or ring one by one.
