Configure Linksys SPA5005 Attendant Console Side Car

How to setup a side car with Telair PBX (Hosted or On-Premise)

Step-by-step guide

PBX Side

Make sure that picking up calls work.

Apart from that, the PBX should configure the hints correctly without any additional configuration.

The phone

Make sure that the phones are allowed to dial feature codes like **1234. On the SPA525G, you must modify the dialplan in the phone’s configuration (set it to something like (*xx.|**xx.|xx.)).

The Attendant Console

Attendant Console Call Pickup Code: **# (feature code for Directed Call Pickup + #, # will be replaced by the extension number). If you set it to *8 (feature code for_Asterisk General Call Pickup_), the console will pick _any_ ringing phone, so if two of them are ringing at the same time, you don’t know which one will get chosen.
