This guide covers setup and provisioning instructions for Yealink T54W and T57W desk phones for system administrators.


New Phone Setup

Step 1: Physical Setup

  • Connect the Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the back of the phone.
  • If using Power over Ethernet (PoE), the phone will power on automatically.

Step 2: Request Provisioning

For new phones, open a support ticket with WebFones including:

  • The MAC address of the phone (found on the label on the back of the phone)

WebFones will add the phone to your account and provide a provisioning URL.

Step 3: Configure Provisioning via Web Interface

  • Find the phone's IP address:
- Press the OK button on the phone
- Navigate to Status > IPv4 - Note the IP address displayed

  • On a computer on the same network, open a web browser.
  • Enter the IP address in the address bar (e.g., http://192.168.1.100).
  • Log in with:
- Username: admin
- Password: admin (default) or 159753 (WebFones default)

  • Navigate to Settings > Auto Provision.
  • Enter the provisioning URL provided by WebFones.
  • Click Confirm or Save.
  • Click Auto Provision Now or reboot the phone.

Step 4: Verify Registration

After provisioning:

  • The phone display should show the extension number

  • Test by making a call to another extension
