IP Direct Calling
The following instructions1) are to make direct IP-to-IP calls using the Cisco SPA525G or SPA504G phones. For instructions on using our local PBX, see the instructions are here.
General Notes:
- All steps are done as Administrator on the advanced page.
- This setup will configure the last extension and line key for direct IP dial calls and leave extension 1 / line key 1 for PBX calls.
- It may be a good idea to
Submit All Changes
after each step but it also may be unnecessary. - Outgoing calls may be placed from the personal directory, speed dial buttons or the dial pad. When using the dial pad, end the IP address with a # character. This will send the call out immediately.
- If you like, you can publish your phone’s IP number on the mesh status page so others can add your phone directly.
- If you are replacing an existing speed dial button with the new direct dialing Line, make sure to remove the previous info in the
