This article allows resellers to configure telephone devices in a Cloud PBX.
It consists in:
- Declaring telephone devices (IP deskphone) in the equipment
- Associating telephone devices to company members
The telephone devices can be declared one by one in the equipment, or in bulk by importing a CSV file with device data (bulk provisioning).
The telephone device association to company member can be performed at device declaration, or later after device declaration. In case of bulk provisioning, the telephone device association to company member can only be done after its declaration in the equipment.
Prerequisite: Before associating telephone devices to company members, ensure company members have a Voice Business license. For details, see: Grant a license to a member.
