Add a new Yealink phone model¶
When Yealink releases a model that isn't in Phonovo's list yet, you can add it yourself — no code change needed. Available to platform superadmins and support agents.
Steps¶
- Go to SuperAdmin → Settings → Device Templates.
- Click Add Template.
- In Phone Model, choose + Add new model… and type the model code
(for example
T78W). Model codes look likeT54W,CP965orW60B. - Click Use this model. The template content auto-populates with Phonovo's base configuration plus defaults for that model's series (T7x, T5x, …). If the model belongs to a family Phonovo doesn't recognise, you get the base configuration only — review it before saving.
- Adjust anything model-specific (line keys, display settings), then Save. Tick Set as default so provisioning uses it for that model.
Once saved, the new model is selectable everywhere — including the Add Device dialog on an extension's Devices tab — and phones of that model provision using your template.
Where the values come from¶
Templates contain placeholders like {{ntp_server}} and {{sip_port}}.
These are filled at provisioning time from Settings → PBX Variables
(Provision category), so you normally don't need to hardcode values in the
template.
