Please see here for guidelines on network/firewall setup to ensure you have the proper network setup for your Kixie-configured deskphones to work. Please be aware that Kixie cannot add Hold Music through your desk phone.

- Enter the IP address into your computer browser, making sure the computer is on the same internet network as the phone.
- if the IP address does not work (site can't be reached), then try entering https:// or http:// before the IP address, i.e. https://192.168.1.1, click advanced, and then proceed to the site anyway.
