Official templates for SIP-T54W WIFI Enabled phones

[onitak]

Hi

I am working on 3 mid size projects (between 60-100 extensions) where client is not willing to spend any money on getting the cabling done. they do have a very old Siemens phone system which is EOL and they desperately need a new/modern phone system.

Yealink's recently released WIFI enabled phones which are Yealink -T54W and Yealink T53-W are an excellent choice for this kind of scenario where people have excellent WIFI but no RJ45 connectivity in the rooms/offices.

I am testing these phones with the provisioning template for Yealink T54S, they do perform basic functions but show incorrect time etc which needs adjusting manually and this is not practical when you have to configure 300 Plus phones.

Since you guys work very closely with Yealink, can you please let us know if 3CX have a plan to release official templates for these Yealink -T54W and Yealink T53-W in the near future or not? If this gets done soon, I am quite hopeful 3CX will become a mainstream PBX for the hospitality sector which desperately needs this solution.

I look forward to hear from you very soon.

Many thanks
Mohammad

It's not that difficult to take the existing T4x 3CX template and customize it with the wifi options you need. Then you can use DHCP66 type provisioning, boot the phones first with a wired connection and have them auto-configure themselves and then you can place them at the appropriate desks. Well worth the effort if you have that many phones to configure.

Wifi has been an option (through usb dongle though) for a while on the Yealink phones. I'm not sure if 3CX will offer provisioning of the wifi options directly through the 3CX management console or not.

Another option is to go with the Yealink DECT desk phones. These you can use today without manual templates. Purchase the DD10K dect adapter and the T42s and T41s phones (there is also a W41P bundle) and the phones work using DECT. Not as feature rich though and as you said you already have great wifi. Something to perhaps consider though.

Have a T53W here and awaiting it to become supported..
Question though, it can do Dect too with the dongle that I have. So does it then get setup as a DECT handset or a handset and also DECT?
