10.1.9 Manually Adding Allworx Phones
The Allworx server supports the manual adding of phones to the system. Do this if
disabling the Plug and Play for security reasons or when configuring the phone prior to
plugging it into the network (For example, to pre-configure the server before an
installation at the customer site).
To add an Allworx phone manually:
1. Navigate to the Phone System > Handsets page.
2. Click the add new Allworx Handset link in the SIP Handsets section. The
SIP Handset page displays. (need new screen shot)
3. Fill in the fields in the SIP Handset section. The system requires an entry in
Description, Model, and MAC Address fields.
Note: If there is an incorrect the MAC address entry, then when the phone boots on the
network, the server has a duplicate entry for this phone. It will plug-and-play
register itself with the system using the correct MAC address and will not use the
manually entered information.
4. Locate the Handset Configuration section, and select the Allworx phone
model from the drop-down list.
5. Enter the MAC Address information in the field.
6. Click Add to add the new handset to the server. 0.
