If a compatible phone is receiving an IP from a DHCP server on one of the ethernet ports on the Com.X, it should identify themselves as Managed Sip phones. To scan for a list of devices obtaining IP addresses from the Com.X, select scan and enable the auto detect option.
You will notice the number of detected devices (displayed in the top right hand corner of the GUI) increase.
Select Options, and then Detected to see a list of detected phones. Select a Managed SIP Device.
When configuring an auto-detected device the Com.X automatically detects and populates all fields with appropriate settings. The name of the device is defaulted to the Mac address of the unit, and this is the only field that should require (optional) editing.
