Edit IP Line Settings page is used to configure the IP line. This page contains a group of manipulation radio buttons which allow you to enable the IP line and to configure it to be used by the SIP phones.
Inactive - this selection disables the corresponding IP line.
SIP Phone - this selection configures the IP line for SIP phone to be connected to the QX1000.
Phone Model drop down list is used to select the IP phone model to be used by the receptionist. The selection, not including Other, enables the MAC address text fields used to insert the MAC Address of the corresponding SIP phone. Use Other selection if your SIP phone is not in this list.
Line Appearance text field requires a number of simultaneous calls supported by the SIP phone.
Username and Password are required to be inserted for this selection. They should match on both QX1000 and SIP phone for a successful connection. The Password field is checked against its strength and you may see how strong is your inserted password right below that field. To achieve the well protected strong password minimum 8 characters of letters in upper and lower case, symbols and numbers should be used. If you are unable to define a strong password, press Generate Password to use one of system defined strong passwords.
Transport drop down list is used to select the SIP protocol transport layer - UDP, TCP or TLS. For TLS you may activate the TLS certificate update mechanism from IP Phone to obtain the latest certificate generated by the QX1000.
Use Session Timer enables the SIP session timer for the corresponding IP line. This checkbox enables advanced mechanisms for connection activity checking. This option allows both user agents and proxies to determine if the SIP session is still active.
Use Template drop down list is used to select a preconfigured custom template for the IP phone. When the "Use default" is selected in this drop down list, the template selected on the IP Line Settings page will be used.
Enable Hot Desking Capability checkbox is used to enable the Hot Desking feature on the corresponding IP line.
Hot Desking Automatic Logout section is used to configure Hot Desking functionality expiration on the corresponding IP line. This may be useful when someone who logged in to the public phone with the extension attached to this line forgot to log out after using it. With this option enabled, once the expiration time arrives, the extension will automatically log out from the public phone.
The following options are available:
Never - the extension will never expire and will remain logged in to the public phone.
After the defined period of time - requires the period after which the extension will automatically log out from the public phone.
At the certain moment - requires the moment (hour and minute) when the extension will automatically log out from the public phone.
For automatic SIP phone configuration, the SIP phone should be reset/rebooted. The appropriate configuration will be automatically downloaded from QX1000 to the SIP Phone then.
Note: For automatic configuration, some SIP phones may require additional actions to follow the restart. For example, by default the IP Dialog SIP Tone II is in a non-auto-provisioning mode, so it should be manually enabled on the phone. Refer to the user's manual of the corresponding SIP phone for instructions on performing a factory reset or reboot on any of the supported phones, what additional configurations are required for a specific SIP phone, and how to manipulate with the GUI.
