Cordless (DECT)
Register a Yealink W-series DECT base station so cordless handsets ring, as a desk handset or on a desk phone line.
A DECT base station registers once; cordless handsets then pair with the base — useful for surgeries where the phone moves around.
You need the phone's SIP credentials: for a desk handset — a person's or a shared one like the reception phone — click Show setup link on its row in Settings → Phone → Voice & calling → Calling devices; for a desk phone line, on the number's card in Settings → Call routing. See Desk phones for the difference.
Connect the base station (for example a Yealink W70B or W73P bundle) to your network and power. Pair a handset with the base (OK → Settings → Registration, then press the base's pairing button).
On the paired handset, press OK → Status to read the base's IP address.
In a browser on the same network, open https://<base-ip> and sign in
(factory login admin / admin — change it while you're there).
Go to Account → Register, pick Account 1, and fill in:
- Line Active: Enabled
- Label and Display Name: your practice name
- Register Name and User Name: the line's username
- Password: the line's password
- Server Host: the server shown under Show setup link —

Under Account → Advanced and Account → Codec, set SRTP, the keep-alive, DTMF and the codec order to the values in the settings every phone needs.
Under Account → Number Assignment, assign the account to every handset that should ring.
Click Confirm, then call the number from a mobile — the cordless handsets ring. If the line is two-way, dial out to confirm outbound.
One base station supports multiple handsets, and they all ring together — you rarely need a second registration.
