If you are using a wireless version of Yealink - Setting up handset assignments

You can re-name your handsets by going to the Account Tab > Handset name. This will change the display on the front of the handset to make it easier to reference for you if you wish

Here, you can set which handsets ring on which line. Keep in mind that in order to have 3 handsets ring on 3 separate lines, you would need to have 3 VoIP lines on your account, which may affect your bill. The picture above shows a configuration fit for that, with each handset belonging to their own separate line. For help setting this up, please feel free to work with our support team with the chat window in your lower right, email us at support@virtualpbx.com or call us at 888-825-0800 option 2

If you wanted to use one line for all handsets, you would simply have a straight column going top to bottom for Line 1, for both Incoming Lines AND Outgoing Lines. This means when your line rings, all handsets will ring, and the first to answer it will be on the call with the customer. However, future calls coming in while the first call is still active will come in as call waiting, hence the need for separate lines mentioned above
