Reviews & Comments About Us

Phone Amego (1.4c3 or later) includes support for Yealink (or similar) IP phones. You can get on-

screen Caller ID, call logging, dial calls, answer, end call, and send touch-tones. To enable it, you

will need to configure your Yealink IP phone as described below.

Phone Amego makes this easy to configure from the Caller ID tab as shown.

1. Point your web browser at the IP address of your phone http://ipAddress.

To show the IP address of your phone, use the buttons on your phone to navigate to

"Menu -> Status".

2. Login with your username and password.

For Yealink, the defaults are username "admin", password "admin".

3. Navigate to "Yealink -> Phone -> Action URL".

4. Copy and paste the corresponding URL for each action.

Copy from the Local HTTP Server box under the Caller ID tab in Phone Amego,

and paste to the corresponding field in your web browser.

5. Once you have entered the URL for each telephone event,

scroll down to the bottom of the page and press "Confirm" .

It may take a few moments for your phone to update its settings.

6. Within Phone Amego, press and hold the Control key on your Mac keyboard while you

pickup the handset on your phone. When Phone Amego sees the "Off-hook" event with

the Control key down, it will add your phone to the telephone devices table and should

then be ready to recognize call events.

When you are ready to place a call, select your Yealink IP phone as the telephone device and dial

normally using Phone Amego. You may be prompted for your login passwork the first time you

try to dial if needed. See Dialing to enable the "Dial With Phone Amego" application service if

desired.

If you wish to remove your phone from Phone Amego, select it in the Telephone Devices table

and press the "-" button. To add it back, press Control while you lift the handset on your phone.

The configuration procedure above depends on your Yealink phone being able to find Phone

Amego at a known IP address. Please see IP Addresses and DHCP for additional information.

Access Control

You can limit the hosts permitted to dial your phone as follows:

1. Navigate to "Yealink -> Phone -> Features -> ActionURILimitIP".

2. Copy the IP address of the local HTTP server into this field

(you can also enter a comma separated list).

Which Yealink Phones Are Supported?

Phone Amego currently supports the Yealink SIP-Txx series of phones like the SIP-T22P or

similar. These phones may also be branded as "TipTel".

Testing Notes

Yealink phones offer advanced features like HD voice and IPv6 at entry level prices. They feel

solid and have an easy to navigate user interface. I enjoyed the unit I used for testing. On-line

reviews suggest the speakerphone is not as good as Polycom's for multi-line conferencing.

Things I liked:

- Larger keypad buttons are easy to press.

- Easy to get working.

- The phone feels solid.

- Simple UI. No softkeys needed for basic functions.

Not as nice:

- The display on the T20 is not backlit and has a limited viewing angle, I'd recommend the T22

or higher.

- There's no polling API to synchronize the software with the phone, but good support for event

notification.
