Before you begin, ensure that you've created your extension in the My Account Portal, https://my.maxo.com.au/. To retrieve the details of an existing extension, or create a new extension, login to the My Account Portal and select PBX Extensions or SIP Trunks from the menu, depending on your service type. If you're creating a new extension, click the Add Extension button, fill in the details and click Save. For additional information on creating an extension, please see Portal Guide - PBX Extensions and Sip Trunks

Find the extension number you're configuring, then click Edit.

Take note of the following fields, highlighted in the image below, as you'll need these to setup the device. 

  • Register Username: This is the full username, not the short Ext No.
  • SIP Proxy: The server you'll be connecting to.
  • Re-Register Interval: Defines how often your device should check in.
  • Password: The extension's password


Note that if the extension is already configured on a device, you'll need to reconfigure, power down or factory reset the currently connected device before the required information will be displayed.


Note: If your phone has been used with another provider in the past, please factory reset it before continuing. To do so, on the handset press Menu, then Device Administration and select Factory Reset. Press OK when prompted and the phone will reset.

To configure a SPA series phone to your MaxoTel service, first retrieve the IP Address so that you can log into the 'Web Configuration' via your computer. To do so on the handset, press the Menu key, then choose Status and Network Status and enter The IP Address into your web browser

Once you are in the Web Configuration click on 'Admin Login' at the top right, enter your password if prompted, then choose 'Advanced'.



Across the top of the web browser, navigate to the 'Ext 1'.

Copy the information from the configure extension box in https://my.maxo.com.au/ to the phone's web interface as follows:

Subscription Expires: 120

NAT Keepalive Enable: Yes

Proxy: SIP Proxy (usually either pbx.maxo.com.au or sip.maxo.com.au)
