12.3 SwyxPhones
You can connect the SwyxPhones in your local network to SwyxPhoneManager via SwyxServer service. SwyxPhoneManager is a component of SwyxServer and can also be used as a remote service. Additionally, you can use more than one PhoneManager.
For SwyxPhones to be able to register with SwyxServer via PhoneManager, you must distribute the IP address of the appropriate SwyxPhoneManager to the SwyxPhones. You can define the IP address range for the search for SwyxPhones and the PhoneManager address in Swyx Control Center. When you start the search process, all phones within the defined IP address range are connected to the corresponding PhoneManager.
 
The PhoneManager IP address remains stored in the SwyxPhones. Therefore, you only have to start the search process if you want to put new SwyxPhones into operation in the network.
