will also have to enable the extension (user) you want to use with the FLX on your PBX.
Please review your PBX documentation on information on how to do that.

From the FLX Handset

Depending on your IP PBX, different settings will be required for your FLX to work in
your environment. First, the FLX will require an IP address. The IP address can either
be obtained from a DHCP server in your network, or be statically set on the phone. The
phone is preset to DHCP. If you want to change this setting, open the menu on the
Dialer by pressing the right soft key, go to the “Setup” menu, and select “Advanced
Setup.” You will have to enter a password, which is preset to 7386. Switch DHCP OFF,
and then select “Network Settings.” Under “IP Settings” you can set the required
network values like IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Servers. You
will need to restart the phone for any changes you made in this section to take effect.
If you are using DHCP, you can go to the System Info menu, and select About System.
The assigned IP address for the FLX will be shown here. If you configured a VLAN
(Virtual LAN) for your voice traffic on your IP network, you need to either enable VLAN
on the FLX dialer and provide the VLAN identifier, or select “Automatic”, in which case
the FLX will try to determine the VLAN settings of your network at startup.
If you changed any IP settings, you need to select the ‘Load Settings’ option in the
Network menu, which will reboot your FLX base.
Independent on how the IP address of your system was assigned, the FLX phone has
to be configured to work in your VoIP environment and communicate with your IP PBX.
You will have to enable the extension (user) you want to use with the FLX on your IP
PBX. Please review your IP PBX documentation for information on how to add and
configure users. For the minimal setup, in the FLX Dialer you will have to provide
information on the IP connection to the IP PBX. On the Dialer visit Setup – Advanced
Setup – Network Settings – VOIP Settings. Under Registrar, provide the IP address or
host name of your IP PBX. Username should be the extension or name under which
you want to register this phone on the IP PBX. In Password, provide the password for
this username. If no values are provided for ID and Display Name, the Username entry
will be used for them. Select “Load Settings” after you have set the values in the Dialer,
which will restart the Base Station.
For enhanced settings the Web Interface provided by the FLX needs to be used.

From the FLX Web Interface
If further settings are required to connect the FLX phone to your IP PBX, like a Proxy
server, please visit the FLX Web Interface. You get to this interface by entering the IP
address of the FLX into the web browser of your choice. After you enter the password
(7386, unless you changed it in the Dialer), you can find the SIP configuration items
under the Administrator tab on the top right. You will find the different SIP settings under
SIP Registration, SIP Configuration, Transport, and Media. You have to press “Save” on
every page where you changed an entry to save these changes. If you do not press
“Save,” the changes will be lost when you leave that page. Restart the phone once you
are finished with your changes. Please see page 52 for a description of the FLX Web
Interface.
