Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started with Web Collaboration

You will get the most out of Wildix by accessing your web collaboration first before going onto configuring your desk phone or mobile app.

Logging into Collaboration

You can use one of the supported browsers to access Wildix.  Either Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari. Internet Explorer is NOT supported. We would recommend Google Chrome as the best integration with Wildix.

Alternatively you can download a standalone Wildix client and not use a web browser, using the links below.

Windows 7 and 10 Application Download

MAC OS Download

To login click on the host name link in your Welcome Email.  You can either:

  1. Enter the username and password in your Welcome email
  2. 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

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 reset your password from within Settings > Personal > Password

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 listed have i.e. WP480G, Workforce, Vision etc

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Getting Started with the Apple iOS Mobile App

When using Wildix as an app on your smartphone it will use data either Wi-Fi or 3G/4G etc. Sometimes you will find you have mobile voice signal but no data and Wildix does not function properly. Without a good stable data connection you may experience poor voice quality and drop outs.

Installing the app

Access Apple App Store and search for Wildix Collaboration Mobile.  When installing the app make sure you allow all options that pop up to make sure it has access to the right features.  Failing to do this can result in the app not working and you may have to uninstall and reinstall.

Logging into the app

Once the application has downloaded please open and you will be presented with the Account screen.  The domain name is the hostname included in your Welcome Email.

You can then either:

  1. Enter the username and password in your Welcome email
  2. If you are on Office 365 or GSuite (Google) select the relevant option and then enter your email address and password for Office 365 or GSuite

Configuring the app

A few things we would recommend when setting up the app:

  • In Settings > Advanced – enable the WebRTC option.  This will improve audio quality.  The only issue found with this at the moment is that you will not be able to use the + option to add more people in for a conference call via the mobile app if enabled.

Make sure you have VOIP selected as the device to use so that any calls you make are made through the mobile app itself.

Function Keys

If you have not setup any function keys we would recommend following the function keys step in the Web and Desktop collaboration guide above.

Only the first 20 function keys will display in the mobile app

Voicemail Greeting

If you have not already done so setup your voicemail 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

Voicemail Forwarding

If you have not already set your forwarding you can do so from within the mobile app

In default internal calls will be set to forward to voicemail on busy or no answer.  To set your personal external calls to route to voicemail go into Settings > External then select Activate class and enable Call Forward Busy and Call Forward no Answer.

You need to remember to use the +44 format as that’s how numbers are stored.  The % symbol is a wildcard, examples of use below

  • +441279% – searches anything starting 01279
  • +447% – searches anything starting 07
  • +441284729869 – searches a specific number 01284729869
