Objective

Applies To

• Yealink 23P and T46G devices

Procedure

It is best practice to perform a factory reset when manually provisioning a phone.  

Check for Device Certificate

In order to work with 8x8 phone service, your Yealink phone must have a valid factory-installed security certificate, also known as a device certificate. Follow these steps to determine whether a valid factory-installed Device Certificate is present on your phone.  

1. On the phone, press OK.

2. Scroll down and select More.

3. Select Phone.

4. Scroll down to Device Certificate.

5. Read the displayed message.    

   • If the message says Device Certificate: Factory Installed, your phone is supported on 8x8 service.

   • If the message says Device Certificate: Not Installed, Device Certificate: Invalid, or if there is no device certificate message at all, then the phone is not supported on 8x8 service.

Configure the Phone

After checking the device certificate, verify that the device has the recommended firmware installed. See What is the recommended firmware for 8x8 phones and analog adapters?  Once this is verified, you can move on to configuring the phone.
