SIP Accounts on the Yealink T58W/VP59
To use your T58W/VP59 phone it needs to connect to our servers using a SIP account. Your phone line, voicemail, and entire calling activity are associated to this account.
When we or your phone system administrator provision a phone, the SIP account of the primary user gets registered in the process.
You can register additional accounts manually if you need to use more than one phone number or if your phone is shared with other users.
Only one account can actually be active at any given time, but the multiple registrations allow users to easily switch between accounts/phone lines instead of having to log out/log in to a different account every time.
Registering a New Account
Finding Out the SIP User Name and Password
When registering a SIP account you need to provide a user name password.
The user name is usually the same as your PBX phone number. It will be something like 113842. It will not be your DID number or any caller ID associated with your line!
The SIP username and password are different from the username and password you use for signing in to the TeleConsole!
If you don't know the SIP user name and password, you can obtain them with the GET/myProfile API request. To use this request you do need to authenticate with your TeleConsole username and password! Refer to these articles to learn how to use API requests.
Your username is the name field and your password is the secret field. Both are found under the phones category in the API response.
