How to enable Yeastar CTI on Linkus Desktop Client?
If you use analog phone or IP phone that don’t support uaCSTA feature, you will only need to make sure that your desk phone use the same extension number as your Linkus and turn on the CTI mode on your Linkus Desktop Client.

Yeastar announced the Disaster Recovery solution for the P-Series Phone System, empowering enterprises with cross-region redundancy for uninterrupted communications in the face of disasters.
Hello,
How do I setup my S20 PBX for a secondary Hostname/IP and Domain for my VoIP provider? I am using Peer Trunk with 1-VoIP.
They have a primary and secondary server. The secondary is automatically used when there is a primary failure.
Do I have to set up two different trunks and manually change to the secondary? If so, that would be an ultimate pain. I’m hoping there are some settings that can be made to make the changeover happen in the S20 PBX, automatically, if there is a failure of the 1-VoIP primary IP.
Thank you!
@ WILLIAM
you can setup small router has the failover/backup wan feature before your s20, Trunk Connection ===> Balancing Router ===> S20, in some cases if you are not using S20 WAN port as default interface you will need to add static router for Host IP.
Hi, we wanted to check if you are implementing the “OPUS codec” for the S-Series. Thank you
Hi, sorry to tell you that OPUS is currently not supported for S-Series VoIP PBX.
Hi Yeastar,
Will you support opus on the S-Series with future updates?
Thanks
Hi brien, sorry to tell you that we don’t have this plan yet. Opus is now only supported by Cloud PBX and K2 IP PBX.
