Prerequisites

Refer to the Wizyconf Installation Documentation to install the Wizyconf-Stand and connect all the components to the Wizyconf-Core.

  • Before you start, make sure you update WMS to the latest stable version rel40
  • To use Wizyconf, you need to purchase a UC-Wizyconf License (one license for one Wizyconf station) for your PBX on WMP
  • After you have purchased a UC-Wizyconf license on WMP, create a new user in WMS → Users and assign it the License type "Wizyconf":


Provisioning and configuration

WMP Provisioning

Prerequisite: you must have an available Wizyconf which you had previously ordered and had it shipped to you.

  • Go to WMP -> select a customer
  • Select the PBX -> click Options button (three dots) and choose Devices from the drop-down list:

  • Click + to add Wizyconf:

  • The list of all your available devices opens; select Wizyconf and click Add to assign it to the PBX: 

  • Go to WMS -> Devices: provisioned Wizyconf appears on the list:  

Important: After Wizyconf is provisioned, its status in WMS -> Devices stays grey, no IP and firmware version is indicated. The password is used by Wizyconf for PBX authentication. Ongoing upgrade procedures are not displayed in WMS.

Assign Wizyconf to user

Important: Before assigning, make sure that the user has Wizyconf License previously purchased on WMP. If the user doesn't have the correct license, the error notification is displayed on Wizyconf.


  • Go to WMS -> Devices
  • Select Wizyconf and click Assign to user 

  • Choose a user and click Save

Note: Once the user is assigned, it is impossible to delete it, you can just re-assign Wizyconf to another user. After re-assigning, turn on/ off Wizyconf via Power key on Wizyconf-Core.

Important: 1 Wizyconf user can only be used with 1 Wizyconf. You cannot assign it to another Wizyconf.

The first upgrade

Prerequisites:

  • DHCP Server 
  • Stable internet connection
  • Wizyconf must be able to reach the PBX via its public IP (even in case the PBX is local)
  • It's necessary to set up a static IP on the Wizyconf:
  1. Press Home button; Press Google chrome icon → tap on three dots in the upper right part of the screen → tap Settings
  2. Tap arrow down icon near Network 
  3. Disable the switch "Configure IP address automatically" and then specify the IP address, the Routing prefix (the subnet mask) and the Gateway (the IP address of your router)


Upon the first launch, Wizyconf automatically upgrades its firmware. The notification about the upgrade is displayed. It takes up to 10 minutes to complete the upgrading process (depends on the Internet connection). Then Wizyconf is rebooted automatically

Notes: 

  • Wyziconf is upgraded from firmware.wildix.com server
  • Port used by Wizyconf: tcp:443

Access the conference

By design, conferences cannot be created from Wizyconf.  It is only possible to participate. Add the Wizyconf user to an existing conference room before proceeding. 

When Wizyconf is launched, the Conference List can be accessed. If a Wizyconf user has previously participated in conferences, they are displayed here:Before entering a conference, you have an option to:

  • View the Prompt:
