Setting up a remote hard phone

Postby scythe000 » Wed Jan 04, 2012 2:08 am

I'm looking at this: http://www.3cx.com/blog/support/documen ... xy-manager and it looks fairly easy. Does anyone know if I can configure a Polycom SP IP430 or IP550 to connect remotely?

If you are planning on setting up several "remote" phones at one location, then the Proxy Manager is probably the best way to go, it can eliminate a lot of headaches.

If it's just one set, and the set has a STUN setting, then there should be no issues. Of course, problem can arise due to many factors that may be unique to your particular installation, including the type/make/model of router that the set is behind and other devices on that network.

Other option is to set a VPN tunnel between the sites using routers. This type of solution may be preferred in many cases.

Proxy manager is the best solution in case if multiple phones are connecting to PBX from the remote office.
P.S. If you don't like Proxy manager then, for fun, you can try to configure your phone to use STUN server on PBX_IP:PBX_PORT...
It will be interesting experience...

Any supported OS:

It must work even on unsupported OS like:
Windows XP Home
Windows Vista Home Basic/Premium Edition
Windows 7 Starter Edition/home/premium Edition
