Firstly ensure that the handset is currently in its default state. If the device is brand new, then this should already be the case, if not then you may need to go through resetting the device back to factory default first before proceeding.
There are a few things you will need here as you go along.
The IP address of your device on your local network. (Your handset must be on the same network to gain access).
The MAC address of the device.
A Byphone user's Identity to provision the device with
IP and MAC address
To find the IP address we will need to pair the handset to your Wi-Fi network.
Upon turning the device on, select the phones language
Press the Menu key and navigate to Wi-Fi
Confirm Wi-Fi is enabled then go to Available Networks
Select your network and enter your Wi-Fi password
Press the # key to change input method

If you cannot see the IP, reboot the handset and repeat the above steps
To Find the MAC address
Press the Menu button in the centre of the navigational pad on the Dect handset.

Navigate to Phonepress the OK button again.

Accessing the Web User Interface
Once you have the IP Address of the handset, you can access the WUI via your browser while on the same local network. Navigate to the IP address in your address bar. If your handset is not in its default state, you will be met with a screen asking for a username and password: default username:admin and password:admin.
You should now see a page similar to the image below
Here you should see all of the information about your handset, including its Model/Phone Type, MAC Address and the IP Address you have just used to get here.
Provisioning Handset
Now, go to the Auto Provision tab, and select the Static Provisioning Server section in the left Navbar.
On this , you will need to set the Server Address for the Byphone system https://granite.byphone.co.uk/v1/provisioning/, set the Protocol Type to HTTPS if not already set, and set Update Mode to Update After Time Interval
Next, you must associate your handset with the Byphone system. Login to your Byphone phone system if not already.
Click on the Users option in the navbar on the left of the screen.
Select the User the handset will be associated with, then click on Add Device. (You will require an Identity for this User, if not already created please see Identities section on how to create a new Identity).
You should now be met with this device's settings page. Here you can alter the label that this device is known as within the system, please ensure that it is unique. You can see the Device Settings or delete the device if no longer required. We will concentrate on the device provisioning for now
Enter in the MAC address of the device you are configuring, only alphanumeric characters, ignoring colons or dashes etc., and the external (WAN) IP address that the handset will be accessing from. (This ensures maximum security during provisioning. Incorrect details could result in a breach)
Search for an existing Identity in the Search Identities field and select the relevant one from the drop-down (You can add 4 Identities to this handset, see Supported Hardware for restrictions).
Select the device model from the drop-down under Device Settings (Fanvil W611W).
Clicking the Save & Activate Auto-Provisioning button on the Device Settings screen in the Byphone Portal allows 10 minutes in which this device can be auto-provisioned by the Byphone system. After 10 minutes, the provisioning server will be closed to this device (until the Save & Activate Auto-Provisioning button is pressed again).
Ensure that on your Fanvil Linkvil W611W, you have the provisioning URL entered into the Static Provisioning Server, server address field. URL: https://granite.byphone.co.uk/v1/provisioning/ as noted in step 2. Set Update on Reboot to avoid having to login to the Web UI for future auto-provisions.
