How Do I Register Cisco Phones on Switchvox Device?

Q: We just got a Switchvox from you guys and need a little guidance in getting these Cisco phones registered on the device. Can you help? Thanks!

A: Your Cisco phones will need to be manually provisioned via their web interfaces. Make sure you have an extension built prior so you can enter the SIP credentials to the phone. You can also contact Digium directly for support.

Generally, you will go to Setup-> Extensions -> Manage -> Create Extension, Select SIP phone, and fill out the parameters. It will auto generate a SIP password which should be found in either the “Other Manufacturers” or “Common Settings” tab. The extension and SIP password are the SIP credentials to enter in  your SPA phones in its account settings. We can set up a support call to go through this if you would like to.
