Getting Connected

In order for our phones to be able to take and place calls, the phones need to be connected to a network with a stable internet connection. One device we offer that can facilitate an internet network is called a Connected IO. 

To use Wi-Fi to connect a Yealink phone to a Connected IO device's network…

  1.  Plug in any needed Wi-Fi adapter dongle into the phone's USB port

    ✔ When you plug in the dongle or first start up a phone utilizing Wi-Fi, you will see a message to scan for available networks. 

  2. On the Note, press OK.
