Configuring a VoIP Phone Using Automatic Registration on the NEC SL2100 or SL1100

Automatic registration of an IP phone allows the phone to be programmed with a particular extension username and password using a Personal ID Index. We strongly encourage this procedure is completed before launching the IP Phone in a remote location.

Get Connected

This Tech Tip requires access to the phone system using NEC PCPro Programming Software. To download the latest version of PCPro or for instructions on how to connect your computer to the phone system, please read the following: How to Connect to the NEC SL2100 or SL1100 Phone System for Programming.
