Activation

Ensure the sidecar is installed ahead of registering the desk phone to a user or room phone.
If a sidecar is moved, its line key functions will adjust according to its new position.
Generic SIP registration
Dialpad will provide SIP credentials that can be used with many different generic SIP devices.
Dialpad is only responsible for validating that the registration credentials are still valid. Support for firmware or other functionality on the generic device must come from the device manufacturer.
This solution is often used for IP based door bells, paging solutions (such as Algo) and others.
Tracking adoption
Office admins can track the adoption of company-issued devices like laptops, mobile, or desk phones straight from their Dialpad analytics.
