HD Phones Remote Configuration

Remote Phones

1. Provision the phone locally as you would any other phone on the LAN, if programming to a Cloud PBX, skip to step 2
2. Configure the PBX Site router with port forwards of 5060 UDP and 10k-20k TCP/UDP. The port forwards should point at the LAN address of the PBX
3. Navigate to PBX Setup=>SIP and enter the Public IP address of the PBX under External IP, Save
4. Navigate to System=>Access Control=>Access Control List
5. Configure so that the IP address for the remote phone can communicate to the PBX in one of two ways:
   1. Add the Public IP address of the remote location if its static (eg. 75.124.65.8/32)
   2. Delete the SIP service from the Access Control List if the remote phone will not have a static IP. If you use this method, we advise to enable Log Watch & Ban after you have verified the remote phone works.
