Indicates that you must enter information specific to phone or
network. For example, when you see <MAC>, enter your phone’s
12-digit MAC address. If you see <phoneIPAddress>, enter your
phone’s IP address.
->
Indicates that you need to select an item from a menu. For
example, Settings->Basic Settings indicates that you need to
select Basic Settings from the Settings menu.
Yealink documentations contain a few typographic conventions and writing conventions.
You need to know the following basic typographic conventions to distinguish types of in-text
information:

You also need to know the following writing conventions to distinguish conditional information:
Reading the Configuration Parameter Tables
The feature descriptions discussed in this guide include two tables. One is a summary table of
provisioning methods that you can use to configure the features. The other is a table of details
vii
Administrator’s Guide for SIP-T2 Series/T19(P) E2/T4 Series/T5 Series/CP860 IP Phones
of the configuration parameters that you configure to make the features work.
This brief section describes the conventions used in the summary table and configuration
parameter table. In order to read the tables and successfully perform configuration changes, an
understanding of these conventions is necessary.
Summary Table Format
The following summary table indicates three provisioning methods (central provisioning, web
user interface and phone user interface, refer to Provisioning Methods for more information)
you can use to configure a feature. Note that the types of provisioning methods available for
each feature will vary; not every feature uses all these three methods.
The central provisioning method requires you to configure parameters located in CFG format
configuration files that Yealink provides. For more information on configuration files, refer to
Configuration Files on page 133. As shown below, the table specifies the configuration file name
and the corresponding parameters. That is, the <MAC>.cfg file contains the
account.X.auto_answer
feature.auto_answer_delay
parameter, and the <y0000000000xx>.cfg file contains the
parameter.
The web user interface method requires you to configure features by navigating to the specified
link. This navigation URL can help you quickly locate the webpage where you can configure the
feature.
viii
Configuration Parameter Table Format
Sometimes you will see the words “Refer to the following content” in the Permitted Values or
cannot be configured via web/phone user interface.
The following configuration parameter table describes the parameter that you can configure to
make the feature (e.g., auto answer) work.
Introduction
Note
Default field. It means the permitted value or the default value of the parameter has the model
difference or there are many permitted values of the parameter, you can get more details from
the following Description field.
The word “None” in the Web User Interface or Phone User Interface field means this feature
The above table also indicates three methods for configuring the feature.
Method 1: Central Provisioning
This table specifies the details of
the auto answer feature. This parameter is disabled by default. If you want to enable the auto
answer feature, open the MAC.cfg file and locate the parameter name
Set the parameter value to “1” to enable the auto answer feature or “0” to disable the auto
answer feature.
Note that some parameters described in this guide contain one or more variables (e.g., X or Y).
But the variables in the parameters described in the CFG file are all replaced with specific value
in the scope of variable. You may need to assign a value to the variable before you search and
account.X.auto_answer
parameter, which enables or disables
account.X.auto_answer
.

locate the specific parameter in the CFG file.
For example, if you want to enable the auto answer feature for account 1, you need to locate the
account.1.auto_answer
account.1.auto_answer = 1). If you want to configure the SIP server 1 for account 1, you can
locate the
account.1.sip_server.1.address = 10.2.1.48).
The following shows a segment of MAC.cfg file:
account.1.sip_server.1.address
in the MAC.cfg file and then configure it as required (e.g.,
in the MAC.cfg file and configure it as required (e.g.,
Method 2: Web User Interface
As described in the chapter SummaryTableFormat, you can directly navigate to the specified
webpage to configure the feature. You can also first log into the web user interface, and then
locate the feature field according to the web path (e.g., Account->Basic->Auto Answer) to
configure it as required.
x
Introduction
As shown in the following illustration:
To successfully log into the web user interface, you may need to enter the user name (default:
admin) and password (default: admin). For more information, refer to Web User Interface on
page 130.
Method 3: Phone User Interface
You can configure features via phone user interface. Access to the desired feature according to
the phone path (e.g., Menu->Features->Auto Answer->Line X->Auto Answer) and then
configure it as required.
As shown in the following illustration:

Understanding VoIP Principle and SIP Components
This section mainly describes the basic knowledge of VoIP principle and SIP components, which
will help you have a better understanding of the phone’s deployment scenarios.
VoIP Principle
VoIP
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology using the Internet Protocol instead of
traditional Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) technology for voice communications.
It is a family of technologies, methodologies, communication protocols, and transmission
techniques for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over IP networks.
The H.323 and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) are two popular VoIP protocols that are found in
widespread implementation.
H.323
H.323 is a recommendation from the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T)
that defines the protocols to provide audio-visual communication sessions on any packet
network. The H.323 standard addresses call signaling and control, multimedia transport and
control, and bandwidth control for point-to-point and multi-point conferences.
It is widely implemented by voice and video conference equipment manufacturers, is used
within various Internet real-time applications such as GnuGK and NetMeeting and is widely
deployed by service providers and enterprises for both voice and video services over IP
networks.
xii
SIP
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the Internet Engineering Task Force’s (IETF’s) standard for
multimedia conferencing over IP. It is an ASCII-based, application-layer control protocol
(defined in RFC 3261) that can be used to establish, maintain, and terminate calls between two
or more endpoints. Like other VoIP protocols, SIP is designed to address functions of signaling
and session management within a packet telephony network. Signaling allows call information
to be carried across network boundaries. Session management provides the ability to control
attributes of an end-to-end call.
Introduction
SIP provides capabilities to:
Determine the location of the target endpoint -- SIP supports address resolution, name
mapping, and call redirection.
Determine media capabilities of the target endpoint -- Via Session Description Protocol
(SDP), SIP determines the “lowest level” of common services between endpoints.
Conferences are established using only media capabilities that can be supported by all
endpoints.
Determine the availability of the target endpoint -- A call cannot be completed because
the target endpoint is unavailable, SIP determines whether the called party is already on
the IP phone or does not answer in the allotted number of rings. It then returns a message
indicating why the target endpoint is unavailable.
Establish a session between the origin and target endpoint -- The call can be completed,
SIP establishes a session between endpoints. SIP also supports mid-call changes, such as
the addition of another endpoint to the conference or the change of a media characteristic
or codec.
Handle the transfer and termination of calls -- SIP supports the transfer of calls from one
endpoint to another. During a call transfer, SIP simply establishes a session between the
transferee and a new endpoint (specified by the transferring party) and terminates the
session between the transferee and the transferring party. At the end of a call, SIP
terminates the sessions between all parties.
SIP Components
SIP is a peer-to-peer protocol. The peers in a session are called User Agents (UAs). A user agent
can function as one of following roles:
User Agent Client (UAC) -- A client application that initiates the SIP request.
User Agent Server (UAS) -- A server application that contacts the user when a SIP request is
received and that returns a response on behalf of the user.
User Agent Client (UAC)
The UAC is an application that initiates up to six feasible SIP requests to the UAS. The six
requests issued by the UAC are: INVITE, ACK, OPTIONS, BYE, CANCEL and REGISTER. When the
SIP session is being initiated by the UAC SIP component, the UAC determines the information
essential for the request, which is the protocol, the port and the IP address of the UAS to which
the request is being sent. This information can be dynamic and will make it challenging to put
through a firewall. For this reason, it may be recommended to open the specific application type
on the firewall. The UAC is also capable of using the information in the request URI to establish
the course of the SIP request to its destination, as the request URI always specifies the host
which is essential. The port and protocol are not always specified by the request URI. Thus if the
request does not specify a port or protocol, a default port or protocol is contacted. It may be
preferential to use this method when not using an application layer firewall. Application layer
xiii
Administrator’s Guide for SIP-T2 Series/T19(P) E2/T4 Series/T5 Series/CP860 IP Phones
firewalls like to know what applications are flowing through which ports and it is possible to use
content types of other applications other than the one you are trying to let through what has
been denied.
User Agent Server (UAS)
UAS is a server that hosts the application responsible for receiving the SIP requests from a UAC,
and on reception it returns a response to the request back to the UAC. The UAS may issue
multiple responses to the UAC, not necessarily a single response. Communication between UAC
and UAS is client/server and peer-to–peer.
Typically, a SIP endpoint is capable of functioning as both a UAC and a UAS, but it functions only
as one or the other per transaction. Whether the endpoint functions as a UAC or a UAS depends
on the UA that initiates the request.
