This page contains instructions on how an Organization account owner can manage SIP devices.

Overview

When logged in the VoipNow interface, click on SIP Devices under Telephony Provisioning and you'll be redirected to the SIP Devices page. 

The SIP Devices Inventory lists the following categories of provisioned SIP devices:

  • Devices owned by your Organization,  your Service Provider or the admin.
  • Devices assigned to your Organization.
  • Devices owned by or assigned to the Users in your Organization.

You can read more on the how to manage your devices in the Manage SIP Devices section.

Adding SIP devices 

Each setting on the Allow to provision devices option of your account combined with those set at the level of your Users influences your provisioning capabilities. The Allow to provision devices option is available in the Roles and Phone Numbers page of your account and can only be set by your Service Provider. 

As an Organization account owner, you may add and manage SIP devices in your own context (i.e. in your SIP Devices page) and/or in the context of your Users (i.e. in the User's SIP Devices page). 

To add a SIP device, you must go to Telephony Provisioning → SIP Devices →  Add New Device and follow the steps described in this page.

  • You can add SIP devices in your context, but can only assign them to Users with Modify permissions.
  • You can add SIP devices in a User context on the condition that the User has Modify permission. Otherwise, you can't.
NoneCannot access the SIP Devices area as it is no longer displayed in the interface.


Editing and removing SIP devices

While you're in the SIP Devices page, you can read-only, edit and/or remove SIP devices. You cannot edit or remove devices that are read-only.


Your right to edit and remove devices depends on the provisioning permissions of your account and your User accounts (i.e. how the Allow to provision devices option is set) as well as on the ownership of the device. 

If you want to receive tips on Edit permissions on mouse-over, click on My Interface button at the top right of the interface. This will open My Interface Settings page, where you need to select the Display tool tip option and press OK.


Here are the Edit and Remove permissions based on provisioning levels and device ownership. 

If "Allow to provision devices" for your account isAs an Organization

  • the admin or your Service Provider or your Organization owns them.
  • at least one extension they are assigned to belongs to a User with Modify permission. Please note that while you can edit such devices, you cannot remove them.

You can also edit devices that are owned by Users with Modify permissions. Please note that you while can edit such devices, you cannot remove them.

NoneYou cannot access the SIP Devices area as it is no longer displayed in the interface.
