Using Overrides to Configure Yealink DECT Handsets

You can register multiple extensions to a Yealink DECT Base as accounts. You can then set up handsets to receive incoming calls for all accounts, or only select accounts. You can also choose a default Outbound SIP Account per handset. These settings allow you to configure handsets to act as their own extensions or all ring in a group (without sending multiple SIP INVITES to the base station).

The following override will allow you to configure incoming lines on a per handset basis.

handset.X.incoming_lines="1,2,3,4,5,6"

Outgoing Dial Out Lines

The following override defines which lines the Handset will be able to use to dial out.

handset.X.dial_out_lines="1,2,3"

Replace the 'X' with the handset Number. The value should be the Line account numbers that should be associated with the handset.

Outgoing Default Line
