C470IP VoIP Phone System

C470IP is a very simple IP PBX with basic VoIP functionality however it can connect up to 5 additional handsets. Multiple handsets can be registered to be used with a single VoIP phone number (endpoint) or multiple endpoints.

Configuring a C470IP System

Most IP PBX’s can be configured by entering the IP address of the device. An IP Address looks something like 192.168.0.2 and it’s just a location for a device that is located on your local network.

To get the IP address of your Siemens C470IP system, press the blue “Paging Button” that normally gets each of the handsets ringing. You’ll see the IP Address displayed on the handset.

Type that address into your browser and the normal password is 0000. You can then log in to the admin area, setup phone numbers, handsets and manage how calls are handled – things like which phone number rings on which handset.

Handset registration process

When you get another handset to use with your system you can register it using the following procedure:

Turn on additional handset

On the phone menu, Navigate to Settings > Handset > Register H/Set

Enter your system PIN, (default is “0000”)

Press and hold INTERCOM button on base station until handset is registered (it will show an icon like the phone is ringing).

Great for Virtual Assistants

You can then go into your IP PBX admin and rename the handset to something that makes more sense to you. For example if you operate a home based business as a virtual assistant you can have one line for home and a couple others for your own business and any business you’re answering calls for.

We’ve had quite a bit of interest from virtual assistants who are using these phone systems because they are cheap and enable them to take advantage of cheap voip rates and have some great features like group pickup, assisted call transfer and can be combined with the VoIP service features like voicemail-to-email.

So you have been clever to install the Virion VoIP phone system. This blog will now teach you how to carry out an Assisted Call Transfer using the Virion system using your Siemens Phone.

Hierarchical Structure

The Virion phone system is structured like a hierarchy; you have the main phone at the top, then you have multiple phones from then on, depending on how many phones you have on your particular system.

When someone calls your business, anyone on the Virion System can answer the incoming call within the hierarchy.

INT

INT which is located on your Siemens phone in two places:

1. The bottom left of the screen on the phone(press the button underneath), and

2. On the silver square on the left hand side (press the square on the left hand side). Once you have pressed either of the buttons a list of other users will appear on the screen.

Scroll through the list until you find the right one to transfer to, using the silver square pressing the top of the square (up) or bottom of the square (down).

Once you have select the correct phone; press the green phone to call the other phone. Once the Phone call is answered hang up the phone using the red button.

It’s really that simple to assist transfer with your Siemens phone and the Virion Phone system.
