1. Configuration guide

This configuration guide describes how to set up a Behnke Station as a SIP extension of a Vodia® HostedPBX. We are assuming that the basic configuration of the Vodia® system has already been done, and we will only describe the steps required to register the Behnke Station with Vodia®. We also assume that the Behnke station has already been integrated into the network and can be accessed via the IP address in a browser. It is assumed that the Behnke-Station is already set up to the extent that access to the web interface is possible. If this is not the case, please follow the instructions provided with your base electronics (manuals) and refer to the technical manualRecently updated — within the last 72 hours to complete the basic setup.
