1) Deprovision Your Device 

Ensure your device has been de-provisioned from any previous VoIP provider configurations.

If switching from Classic to o1, the CloudCall Telco team will handle de-provisioning.

2) Factory Reset Your Device  

If you're moving from Classic to CloudCall o1 and need to bring over your devices, you'll need to perform a factory reset after the devices have been deprovisioned. Here's how: 

Reset your Polycom desk phone(s) to factory settings:

1. 1. 1. Disconnect the power by unplugging the adapter or Ethernet cable (if using PoE).

      2. Reconnect power and immediately press and hold specific key combinations during the boot-up process until a password prompt appears.

      3. When prompted, enter the administrator password (default password is often 456).

⚠️ Important: A factory reset erases all custom configurations and restores default settings. After resetting, you may need to reconfigure the phone or re-provision it with your VoIP system. If you face issues, refer to your specific model's user manual or visit the Poly Support Center.

Reset your Yealink desk phone to factory settings:

1. Press the Menu button on your Yealink phone.
2. Use the navigation keys to select Settings and press OK.
3. Select Advanced Settings from the menu. When prompted, enter the administrator password (default is usually admin).
4. Scroll to Reset to Factory or Reset Configuration and press OK.
5. The phone will reboot and restore factory settings. This may take a few minutes.

⚠️ Important: As with Polycom, backup essential settings before performing the reset. If you face issues, refer to your specific model's user manual or visit the Yealink Support Center.

3) Add and Assign Your Device 

Administrators can add and designate devices in the CloudCall o1 Workspace. Here's how:   

1. Navigate to Company Settings > Desk Phones> Add Device 
2. Select Manufacturer* and Model*
3. Name the Device*
4. Specify the MAC address*
5. Designate device as Conference Room or User*
   • Conference Room: Choose for a shared device, shared telephony experience 
   • User: Choose if only one person will be using the device 
6. Assign the Device* to a User: Select from dropdown list of staff in your account

Once Added and Assigned, when a call is made to the user's designated CloudCall number, all inbound calls will ring to the user's softphone and connected device. 

📝 Note: The User or Conference Room must already be provisioned on the o1 platform and have the latest CloudCall o1 for Desktop (Softphone) installed. 

4) Test the Device 

1. Power on the desk phone
2. Plug in the Ethernet cable
3. Wait for the device to update its configuration
4. Verify the extension number is displayed
5. Make a test call to confirm functionality

6) Use Your Integrated Device 

Use a Desk Phone without the Softphone

You can perform normal desk phone functions like making and receiving calls, but to utilize Click-to-Call, Real Time Coach, SMS, and synced CRM notes, the Softphone is required. 

Access Voicemail from Your Device

Dial 972 to access desk phone voicemail.

Host a Conference Call from Your Device

Multi-way bridging allows multiple parties to join an active call, turning it into a conference call. This means that if you answer a call on your desk phone, you can add additional participants directly from the desk phone without needing to transfer the call to another device or system. This feature is useful for impromptu meetings or collaborative discussions, as it allows you to seamlessly connect more people to the conversation in real time.

Access Desk Phone Call Playbacks and Recordings 

Desk phones do not support recording playback functionality directly. Users can playback or review call recordings through the Softphone. 

Monitor Desk Phone Calls

Visual indicators for desk phone calls appear in the live feed, ensuring users can track calls answered on their desk phones. 

Access and Sync Desk Phone Call Notes to Your CRM

You can view or add call notes via the Softphone. This feature ensures that any notes taken are automatically synced to your CRM, providing seamless record-keeping for your calls.

Set Your Device as the CRM Click-to-Call Default 

The Softphone acts as a companion to the desk phone, enabling features like integrated CRM notes and Click-to-Call from your CRM. You can make your integrated device the default for CRM initiated outbound calls. Here's how:

1. On your desktop, open your softphone and navigate to More > Call Settings 

4. Select a Default Device: Desk phone or Softphone 

• Desk Phone: Click-to-Call will rout to the desk phone 
• Softphone: Click-to-Call will rout to the Softphone
