Configure an IP endpoint (Edify Console)

This article explains how to configure an IP endpoint in Edify Console.

Configuring an IP Endpoint is a two-step process. The first part of the process is to create the endpoint. Then, once it’s created, you’ll then customize the endpoint by configuring the settings related to the device, like the general endpoint’s settings, the device’s network settings, line keys for the endpoint if applicable, and more.

Below are the steps for creating the endpoint and the steps for configuring the different settings that might relate to the endpoint.

Create an IP endpoint

1. Open Edify Console at console.edify.cx.

2. Click Account > IP Endpoints to open the IP Endpoints workspace. 

3. Click the Create IP Endpoint button.

4. Choose a template to link the IP endpoint to or leave it blank if you do not want it linked to a template.

5. Assign the IP endpoint a name in the Name field.

6. Type the MAC address in the MAC field.

Note: This is usually located on the bottom of the IP endpoint or on its packaging.

7. Select a user to assign the IP endpoint to in the Assigned To field, or leave it Unassigned.
