10.1.7 Plug-and-Play
Allworx phones can be added to the system using plug-and-play installation. Once the
network connection to the server is set up, the phones will register with the server the
next time they reboot or power up. To add VoIP phones manually from other
manufacturers, see Generic SIP Phones on page 64.
If you are having difficulty configuring a phone, restore it to factory defaults and
reapply the desired settings.
If an Allworx IP phone is booted on the network and a new version of phone software
is available, the phone will ask if you would like to load the upgrade.
Assign an Allworx IP phone to a user or replace an existing phone when it is first
connected to the Allworx system. The following options are available:
• Assign a user to the phone (NOW > ADD). Select from the list of all system
users or limit the list to those users with no phones assigned. Reboot the
phone to complete the user assignment.
