External Caller ID on Transferred and Parked Calls

In this article

Introduction

At the end of this article, you will be able to enable caller ID visibility when transferring or parking a call on Yealink devices. Should you need any assistance, feel free to contact our support department.

 

Feature limitations

At this stage, we can only guarantee the functionality for Yealink devices, and may not work as expected on other devices. Passing the external caller ID only applies to the following situations:

  • Attended transfer for incoming and outgoing calls
  • Blind transfer for incoming calls
  • Pick up from ringing SIP-endpoint
  • Pick up from parking slot - when the incoming call was parked by attended and blind transferred to parking
  • Pick up from parking slot - when the outgoing call was parked by attended transfer to parking

 

The process to enable the feature

It is a two-step process to activate this feature. Firstly, contact our support team so we can enable the required settings for you. Then, update the configuration below on your Yealink device.

 

Yealink Configuration

Open a web browser on a PC on the same network as your Yealink handset. Enter the IP address into the browser.
