Let's look at some troubleshooting steps for the following issues:
Topics Covered:

Inbound Call Issues
Ring Group Mapping:
- Verify that users in the ring group are mapped correctly.
- Verify whether the ring group has been created in the admin portal's configuration section.
Phone Registration:
- Check whether it is registered by going to the admin panel and device’s; if not, register it.
Do Not Disturb (DND):
- Check to see if the phone or app has DND activated.
- There are two ways to determine whether Do Not Disturb (DND) is activated on a Yealink phone: either press the "DND" soft key, which will display the DND status on the screen if it is enabled, or look for a "Stop" icon on the phone's display when it is idle.
Twilio Configuration:
- Ensure that the portal's Twilio settings are accurate.
- Check the setup under the phone number on the Twilio website.
Schedule Mapping:
- Verify that the schedule is mapped correctly.
- Navigate to the configurations and admin interface, pick the phone number, and look for the scheduled times.
App Version:
- Make sure the app is updated to the most recent version for users.
- Verify the app version in your system's control panel by going to "Control Panel > Programs > Programs > Features."
- If not, make sure the application has been updated to the most recent version.
Timezone Settings:
- Verify that the PC's time zone has been adjusted appropriately (for app users). This is located in the upper right corner of the application.
Ring Duration:
- Check the settings for the ring duration under the configurations in the admin panel.
- We can configure this based on the needs of the client in the ring group setup.
Ringing Volume:
- Ensure the ringing volume is set correctly on the phone.
Outbound Call Issues
Agent Mapping:
- Verify that the user's agent is mapped correctly.
