PhoneExtensions
Evolution PBX supports telephones and other telephony devices that use the SIP protocol.
There are two categories of supported devices: specific devices and generic devices.
SpecificDevices
Specific devices include the following supported devices:
• Polycom SoundPoint IP telephones
• Linksys SPA telephones
• PAP Adaptors
• Cisco (7960 and 7940) telephones
.
When you configure a specific device, Evolution PBX provides automatic configuration of
supported telephones. Automatic configuration requires that you set the MAC Address of
the telephone in Evolution PBX and set the Evolution PBX IP Address in the phone as its
TFTP server address.
GenericDevices
Generic devices include any SIP device that can be configured as a generic device but is
not specifically listed in the New Device drop down menu of the Phone Extensions
window. When you configure a generic device, Evolution PBX provides configuration
parameters that you must use to manually set up your generic device. Firmware and
configuration files are not provided automatically for a generic device.
Generic devices include the following supported devices: CounterPath X-Lite and
EyeBeam (softphones) and Linksys PAP2T-NA adaptor
