The process to enable the feature

It is a two-step process to activate this feature. Firstly, contact our support team so we can enable the required settings for you. Then, update the configuration below on your Yealink device.

Yealink Configuration

Open a web browser on a PC on the same network as your Yealink handset. Enter the IP address into the browser.

Enter the Yealink username and password when prompted. The default is admin as the username and admin as the password.

Once logged into the web configuration portal, select the "Account" tab and click on "advanced". Next, scroll down the screen until you locate the "Caller ID Source" field.

Lastly, select the Caller ID Source dropdown list and select the "RPID-PAI-FROM" option, and click confirm at the bottom of the page to save the configuration. Now the external caller IDs will be displayed when transferring calls.
