Desk Phone Assignments

A desk phone assignment defines the Switchvox SIP-Phone extension that is assigned to the MAC address of a Digium Phone. An assignment must define Line Key 1 as a Switchvox SIP-Phone extension, but an assignment can also define lines 2-6. Those lines can be another SIP phone extension on Switchvox, or an external extension.

Types of Phone Assignments

You can filter the phone assignments for viewing from among the following types:

• Unassigned Phones. Digium Phones on the network that do not already have a Switchvox extension assigned to them.

• Assigned Phones and Extensions. Displays the following:

  • ​​​MAC Address for the Digium Phone

  • Model number for the Digium Phone

  • Configured By indicates if the assignment was created by the Server (the Switchvox Web Suite, Bulk Import, or the Extend API), or by the Phone itself (using the numeric keypad to select the extension for Line Key 1). Server-based assignments cannot be changed from the phone itself.

  • User Details indicate the extensions assigned to the phone. Line 1 must be a Switchvox phone extension, but lines 2-6 (depending on the model of your Digium Phone) can be a Switchvox extension, or an external extension.

• Ignored Phones and Extensions. Displays Digium Phones or Switchvox extensions that you do not want to assign and you do not want to see in the Unassigned lists. If you want to delete a Digium Phone entirely from Phone Assignments, first ignore it, then you can delete it.

Quick-Create Digium Phone Assignments

The Quick-Create Assignments button lets you quickly assign multiple phones. Using this option, the extension is always assigned to Line 1. This is most useful if you have a barcode scanner, so you can scan each phone box, and easily associate it with the correct extension.

...

Populate Unassigned Extensions

This option allows you to add all unassigned phone extensions as rows in order by extension number, first name, or last.

Desk Phone Assignment Options

These options can be used for creating phone-based assignments using the phone's numeric keypad to select an extension from a list. You don't need to use these options if you create server-based assignments (meaning, assignments created from the Switchvox Admin Suite, Bulk Import, or the Extend API).

...

Click Save Assignment Options when finished defining or making changes.

Softphone Assignments

Softphone Assignments allow you set up a Switchvox SIP-Phone extension to use the Switchvox Softphone App.

...

Advanced Options lets you set up to use an alternate configuration port. If set to YES, your edge firewall must be set to forward traffic on port 55062 to your Switchvox PBX.

...

Unassigned Extensions

SIP-Phone extensions listed here have not been assigned a desk phone or a softphone. You can use the Assign action to add a desk phone or softphone assignment, or Ignore to cause this list to ignore that extension.
