Configuring for Local Use

If the phone is not registering, you can use this process to reconfigure it for the Business Voice system. However, before going through these steps, make sure that the extension has been entered in to the portal, the MAC address of the particular phone has been entered for the customer on the Install page and the changes have been saved out to the StarBox® Voice Optimized SD-WAN. If these steps have not been taken, the phone will not be able to register with the local StarBox® Voice Optimized SD-WAN.

***Note: Due to the 5.2 firmware upgrade, the password is now 2580 instead of 456.
