Genesys Cloud enables configuration of Spectralink wireless phones through comprehensive base settings profiles that define operational parameters across multiple functional areas. Users with appropriate Telephony permissions access the Base Settings feature via Admin > Menu > Digital and Telephony > Telephony > Phone Management to create and customize phone configurations.
The base settings profile comprises two primary tabs: Base Phone and Base Line Appearance. The Base Phone tab contains six expandable configuration sections—General, Media, Network, Interface, Diagnostic, and Custom—allowing administrators to customize phone behavior or apply default settings.
General settings control Dynamic Reload functionality (enabled by default), Persist User Settings (enabled by default), Web/TUI Authentication for administrative password protection, and Time Settings including GMT offset, SNTP server designation, and customizable Daylight Saving Time parameters. Media settings manage Quality of Service through Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) values, RTP Audio Port Start Range (UDP port 1024–65,535, default 4000), Preferred Codec List with adjustable priority order, and DTMF Settings including payload type values (range 96–127) when using RTP Events method.
Network and signaling settings provide configurable provisioning configuration sources including Edges within the site or third-party URIs, with TLS Authority ID specification for certificate validation. DTMF signaling can be transmitted via RTP Events (out-of-band processing per RFC 4733, default) or In-band Audio processing. Signaling settings include DSCP value configuration (range 00-3F) for QoS management of SIP packets, SIP protocol selection (UDP, TCP, or TLS, default UDP), custom listen ports, registration period intervals, maximum bindings specification, and TCP Keep-Alive Messages functionality (disabled by default, configurable intervals with 30-second default) to maintain connections through periodic probe packets.
The Interface section includes Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) configuration for voicemail signaling, Do Not Disturb (DND) synchronization capabilities, and Auto-Conference functionality that automatically creates conferences between new incoming calls and existing connections with configurable PIN access and speech language selection. The Diagnostic section offers granular trace level settings across multiple syslog topics with severity levels ranging from Fatal error through Debug mode for comprehensive system monitoring. The Custom section allows Genesys Cloud Product Support personnel to modify phone configurations for troubleshooting.
Base Line Appearance configuration enables customization of key labels and line settings, including Calls Per Line capacity and Persistent Connection Settings that optimize call processing efficiency by maintaining connections with configurable timeout values (10–7,200 seconds valid range). Recording settings allow administrators to enable call recording, apply automatic volume leveling, and select from multiple audio codecs including G726-32, GSM, L16, Opus, PCMA, PCMU, and Truespeech, with dual channel recording available for specific formats to save each participant's audio to separate streams. Outbound SIP server routing can be configured through Edge deployment or custom server specifications with prioritized lists and digest authentication support using credentials pushed to physical phones.
