XIII. IPPBX

The VigorPhone can be configured with 10 different SIP Accounts and any of the active SIP accounts can be used to make and receive calls.

The SIP Accounts can be configured manually via either the keypad menu and the HTTP Web Interface but it's much easier to use the HTTP Web Interface as all the settings are on one page. We'll explain how to configure the VigorPhone using the HTTP Web Interface in this FAQ entry.

An alternative way of configuring the VigorPhone is by Auto-Provisioning; using Auto-Provisioning the VigorPhone is sent the configuration details from the Vigor IPBX. Please see the FAQ entry on Auto-Provisioning for further details.
