4.2.2
Adding devices by ‘device auto discovering’ process
Real-world scenario:
Once there are new devices coming in sporadically, IT manager can just connect these units to
network and power them on, then iPBX can discover new units automatically. It is a plug-and-play
process, and does not require an error-prone process—manually typing the MAC and model name of
devices.
Procedure:
1.
Connect new IP Phone devices to the network nodes (switch/hub) which are within the same
subnet as iPBX LAN interface. Then power on these devices.
2.
New IP Phone units should be able to locate iPBX location and update their device information to
iPBX database.
3.
Logon to the iPBX administrative page, and go to the device management page at: ‘Telephony
Settings
Devices.’ Press ‘Discover’ button to refresh the page display, and the device
information will be displayed on the web page, with the filtering attribute as ‘New Devices.’
4.
Once completely configuring the newly added devices and users, click the ‘Export’ button to
output the device-user list for future maintenance and management purpose.
5.
IT manager may then assign the usage owners of these newly added devices. Please see the
chapter of ‘assigning device to a user.’
