You will get the most out of Wildix by accessing your web collaboration first before going onto configuring your desk phone or mobile app.
We have getting started guides below for the following applications. Please scroll down and navigate to the relevant section that you need and follow the steps to get you going:
- Web Collaboration
- Workforce Desk Phone
- Office Air DECT Phone
- iOS Mobile Application
- Android Mobile Application
- Video Conferencing
- CDR-View Reporting and Call Recording
- x-caracal Reporting
Getting Started with Web Collaboration
Please follow Step 1 below before proceeding. Then depending on which application you will use to connect to Collaboration select the relevant option for Chrome, Edge or Native App before moving onto Step 2.
Step 1: Logging into Collaboration
You can use one of the supported browsers to access Wildix. Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge preferred. Internet Explorer is NOT supported.
Alternatively you can download a standalone Wildix client and not use a web browser, using the links below.
Windows 7 and 10 Application Download (64 bit)
To login click on the host name link in your Welcome Email. You can either:
- Enter the username and password in your Welcome email
- If you are on Office 365 or GSuite (Google) select the relevant Windows or Google icon and then enter your email address and password for Office 365 or GSuite
If you are prompted for access to your microphone and camera please select Allow otherwise your audio and video features will not work.
Also if using Chrome we recommend when prompted to install the browser extension. If you want to do this later go to Settings > Extensions and then select Install next to Browser Extension
Using Google Chrome
When you first log into Collaboration it will request you to allow Notifications, Microphone and Camera, select Allow on all of these.
When connecting via Google Chrome it will ask you to install the Browser Extension. If you proceed to install it will add an extension icon in the top right of your browser like below. This effectively is a shortcut to access Collaboration.
When logged into Collaboration from within Settings > Extensions you can also install the Browser Extension
Using Microsoft Edge
When you first log into Collaboration it will request you to allow Notifications, Microphone and Camera, select Allow on all of these.
If using Edge as the browser you can install the Collaboration page as an app so it will act and appear like a separate application.
Use Edge to log into you Wildix account then in the top right select the three dots then from the menu select Apps then ‘Install this site as an app’. Enable the 4 options to get all the benefits and select Allow
You should now see a shortcut on your desktop for Collaboration, an icon on your taskbar and under your Start button. It will also add it to Start Up on your computer.
Taskbar icon looks like the below
Using Wildix Native App
To connect to your system enter the domain name/hostname from your welcome email into the host name box that appears. Or if it does not then from the Wildix Collaboration menu in the top left select Preferences.
Step 2: Password
If you are using the Wildix login username and password sent to you and not using your Office 365 or GSuite username/password you can update your password from within Settings > Personal > Password
Step 3: Set your paired device
At the top next to the green dial phone icon, make sure the device selected is correct.
- If you are using it as a soft phone with headset select ‘Web’
- If you are using it in conjunction with a desk phone select the phone type you have listed i.e. WP480G, Workforce, Vision etc
Step 4: Audio and Video Devices
If using Wildix as a soft phone or you will be using video conferencing then from within Settings > Web Phone make sure the correct audio device is selected for each option and make sure the correct video device is selected.
Make sure you connect your headset to the computer first if using one. We would highly recommend using a USB type headset either wired or wireless.
You should see the options below that you can change, in the drop down should be the make/model of headset you have connected or if only default it will be using your inbuilt computers speaker and microphone.
Step 5: Colleagues
If you cannot see all the departments or your colleagues in the Colleagues section, select the very small down icon next to the Settings (cog icon), then select Edit Colleagues. You can then select the departments/users you want to see. If new departments/users get added in the future you may have to repeat this to add them in so they are visible.
Step 6: Function Keys
Functions Keys act as:
- Favourites in your collaboration
- Buttons on your desk phone as you add keys here they will populate on your desk phone
- Favourites in your mobile app (first 20 will show only in mobile app)
To set function keys go to Settings > Fn Keys
Select the type of key you want to add then click +. If for example you select to add a colleague it will add a new entry where you can select the colleague to show and you can edit the label if you want a different name to be displayed.
If the eye icon is selected you will get notification pop ups in collaboration when those colleagues phones ring. We would suggest disabling the option unless you really want to see their calls.
You can select the number on the left and drag the entries up and down to change the order.
The most common function keys are:
- Colleague – will show the status of one of your colleagues
- Speed dial – you can add external names and numbers to buttons yourself or search the directory for any names and numbers to add those
- Call group – you can add a button to call a group of people, you can only select from any groups preset on the system
Step 7: Hunt Group Calls
In default you will still receive hunt group calls if you put your status as DND or Away. To stop hunt group calls coming through go into Settings > Contact Center and then enable the two options below and select Save
- Sign-on
- Unavailable on away/dnd
Step 8: Voicemail Greeting
You can use any of your Wildix devices to access voicemail to change your greeting.
- Dial *81
-
Press 0 for mailbox options
- Then press 1 to record your unavailable greeting
- or 2 to record your busy message
- or 3 to record your name
We would recommend recording all 3 for the system
Step 9: Voicemail Forwarding
To set your personal external calls to route to voicemail go into Settings > Features then internal or external then select Activate class and enable this also for DND and Away statuses. You can adjust the timers and settings as you need. You can also change the forwarding to be to a colleague or other number if you don’t want it to go to voicemail.
We would recommend starting with the below settings (see screenshot) which will set yourself a busy and no answer forward (after 15 seconds) to voicemail when in available (green status). Call forward immediately to voicemail when in DND (red status) and the same for away (yellow status).
You can change the settings as you need and the call timeout which is the no answer forward timer. You can also forward to a colleague or external number if required by typing in the search box next to the forward feature.
