For example if you purchased the phone in a used condition, you may need to factory default it before you can enable the SIP service. There is a link in the video to another video which has these instructions. Follow the steps in the video to create a new extension in your CallCentric account http://www.callcentric.com/?aid=233840 Then, take the Authentication ID number (usually 1777xxxxxxx) and the password you created to setup the phone's SIP information. From the SETTINGS screen Go to ADVANCED Password is 456 (if this does not work, you phone is probably not factory defaulted) Go to Administration Settings Go to LINE CONFIGURATION Choose LINE 1 Enter the ADDRESS as the 1777xxxxx number Then go to LINE KEYS, set that to 2 or 3 (your prefrence) Then go to AUTHENTICATION - use login Creds = NO - DOMAIN = Callcentric.com - USER ID = (your 1777xxxxx number) - password = (you createdd in extension setup on Callcentric) Go To SIP PROTOCOL choose SERVER 1 Address = callcentric.com port: 5060 Register = yes Transport = UDP Only Then hit the back key until you get to a screen that says: Exit w/o save save config Resume setup choose SAVE CONFIG Phone should now attempt to register to the registrar for Callcentric.
