About Login
The default IP of S-Series VoIP PBX is 192.168.5.150.
This kind of error message, for example, “Your connection is not private” message in Chrome browser, is caused by SSL error. The S-Series VoIP PBX uses HTTPS protocol for login with a local IP address. But SSL certification authority don’t issue certificate for local IP address.
There is nothing to worry about and you can proceed to visit the link.
If you wish to get the SSL certificate, you need to bind a domain or public IP to the S-Series PBX, and then get the certification from the certification authority. You may need to pay for the certification.
The default administrator account in S-Series VoIP PBX is “admin” and “password”. And for better security, we highly suggest that you change the default password after your first login.
Please click
Input the PBX’s IP address and use the username and password to login. The username and default password are “extension number (e.g. 1000)” and “pass + extension number (e.g. pss1000)”.
We highly suggest that you change the default password in extension edit page after your first login.
Go to Settings → PBX → Extensions and change the “User Password” in the extension edit
You could click “Forgot Password?” on the login page to reset your password.

About Extension
A. Go to Settings→ General→ Preferences and configure it in the “User Extensions”.
S-Series VoIP PBX can have extensions range from 2 digits to 7digits.
Go to Settings→ PBX→ Extensions, click “add” in the extension edit page.
Tick “FXS” in “type” and choose the FXS span port.
Notes:
1. Extensions on S-Series VOIP PBX can be “SIP”, “IAX” and “FXS” at the same time.
2. If the extension has ticked “FXS”, you must assign an FXS port for the extension. If the FXS port in the drop-down list is RED, it means the FXS port is being used and you cannot choose this port. If the port is BLACK, it means the port is idle.
A. S-Series VoIP PBX have passed compatibility test with lots of IP phone brands, such as Yealink, Grandstream, Cisco, Polycom, Snom, etc.
The detailed configuration manual can be found here: https://www.yeastar.com/auto-provisioning-on-the-yeastar-s-series-voip-pbx/#phonesupported.
1. Make port mapping for communication ports of PBX on router. The default ports are:
UDP (SIP): 5060
UDP (RTP): 10000-12000
2. Go to Settings →PBX→General→SIP→NAT. If you use static IP for S-Series VoIP PBX, please select “External IP Address” on “NAT settings” and input the public IP address of S-Series VoIP PBX. If you use dynamic IP for PBX, please input the domain in “External Host” field on the NAT settings page.
3. Got to Settings→ PBX→ Extensions. Choose the extension that needs to be registered remotely, click
4. Register to this extension configured.
For more configuration details please refer to this link: https://support.yeastar.com/hc/en-us/articles/229524467-Configuring-Remote-Extensions
Mobility extension is used to bind mobile number with an extension, so this mobile number will have the corresponding extension’s call privilege, such as: make internal calls, make outgoing calls, and play voicemail unread, etc. When the user uses this mobile number to call into S-Series VoIP PBX, the PBX will treat it as the corresponding extension, and he/she will hear the dial tone.
To configure mobility extension, follow the steps below.
1. Click Settings → PBX → Extensions, go to extension edit page. Click “Edit”.
2. Bind a mobile phone number in “Mobile Number” in “Basic” tab.
3. Click “Features”, and go to “Mobility Extension” settings. If you enable mobility extension, when the mobile number configured calls into S-Series VoIP PBX, it can act like this extension number, such as: make internal calls, make outgoing calls, and play voicemail unread, etc. If you enable Ring Simultaneously, the extension and the mobile phone will ring simultaneously.
Please note that you must configure the specific prefix to make sure S-Series VoIP PBX can reach this mobile number according to the outbound route.
Notes:
1. When a mobility extension makes an internal call, the caller ID presented on the called party’s screen will be the extension number instead of the mobile number.
2. The telephony line/trunk must have caller ID feature. Since PBX recognizes mobile number according to the caller ID detected.
3. Mobility extension feature can’t take effect if administrator has enabled call back feature in inbound routings.
SIP forking is a feature that enables an extension number to be registered by multiple SIP terminals simultaneously; and the amount of terminals can be 5 at most.
Click Settings → Add/Edit Extension, and modify Concurrent Registrations.
In S-Series VoIP PBX there is a feature called “Extension Group”. We could custom the extension group by adding the extensions you want to this group and name it.
Here’s how to configure the extension group:
1. Go to Settings → PBX → Extension Group, click “Add” in the extension list page.
2. Create an extension group, input the name of the group and choose the extensions to the selected box.
3. After creating the extension group, you could choose the extension group into the selected box on the extension edit page instead of choosing extensions one by one. For example, when you create a queue, you could select an extension group.
