Set up
-
Does Konftel 800 support zero touch installation?
-
The Konftel 800 supports auto-provisioning and the Konftel Zero Touch Installation service. For setup information see this article.
-
-
How can I activate daisy-chain on my Konftel 800?
-
To activate daisy-chain, work through these steps from the touch screen: Settings > Admin login, enter password, confirm with Enter > Phone > Daisy-chain > Set the mode to Secondary (in early software Slave). Press arrow back until you get to the main menu. The unit will then reboot in Secondary-mode.
To deactivate daisy-chain, login with the admin password, go to Settings > Phone > Daisy-chain and change mode back to Primary (in early software Master).
-
-
How can I configure Konftel 800 through the web interface?
-
Go to the Konftel 800 device screen and press Settings > Status, where you will find the IP address. Enter the IP address into a web browser in this format, https://192.168.1.45 (digits only to show example). If you get a warning of “unsafe connection” you can ignore and accept the connection to access to the login page. Enter the admin password and press Login.
Once logged in, navigate to the SIP section to configure the primary account and get the basic settings in order.
-
-
The unit doesn’t start when I connect the network cable, why is that?
-
Make sure that the network port delivers PoE (Power over Ethernet). If you don’t have support for PoE in your network, you can buy a Konftel PoE Injector to power the Konftel 800.
-
-
What can I do if I don’t know my admin password?
-
The admin password was configured on initial set up. If you for some reason don’t have access to it anymore, a factory reset is needed.
Use this procedure to hard reset the system to the factory settings. Rebooting to factory settings erases all the settings including the account information.
1. Disconnect the power supply cable. This is the same as the network cable as the phone uses power over Ethernet.
2. Insert the PoE cable into the network connection socket.
3. Repeatedly press the front Mute button.
4. When the LEDs turn red, press the Volume Up button once.
5. The phone reboots to factory settings.
-
-
What is the default admin password?
-
The admin password is usually set the first time you start the Konftel 800. You can choose not to configure an admin password, but we always recommend that you do. If you don’t know the admin password, you have the option to reset your phone and start over. More info on factory reset is found in the FAQ post "How do I reset the Konftel 800 to factory default settings?"

-
How can I optimize audio performance in my conference call?
-
To make sure that you give the meeting the best acoustic prerequisites, make sure that the microphones and the speaker are not blocked. Paper sheets, laptops or anything else that might be in the way for unaffected audio pick-up should be removed before starting the meeting. Read more in this article.
