Converting a Yealink phone to an appliance in Zoom
As a Zoom Phone Appliance, you can convert any Yealink phone that is supported into a Zoom Phone Appliance and make it available to the assigned phone user. If you want to provision the Yealink back to Zoom SIP mode instead of using it as a Zoom Phone Appliance, you can convert it back to Yealink SIP mode by converting it back to Zoom SIP mode.
Note : A Yealink VP59 that has already been provisioned in Zoom Phone, can be converted to a Zoom Phone Appliance by following the simplified process to change it from a Yealink VP59.

How to convert to a Zoom Phone Appliance
Note: The Yealink portal can be used to obtain a license if you are prompted for one, or you can contact Yealink support if you are having trouble locating the license and need assistance. It will be necessary for you to provide the MAC address of the phone in order to complete the process. If you would like to find out more information, please refer to the Yealink support article (the instructions in this article are also applicable to Zoom).

The device’s firmware will be updated as soon as it is connected to the internet. You may need to restart your computer a few times during this process. Please wait until the update has been completed and reboots have stopped before continuing with the next step. - The IP address of your Yealink VP59 can be found in the settings of your device once it is powered on.
- You can download the firmware for the Yealink Zoom App by downloading the file VP59_9.0-91.30.0.25.rom over here.
- Make sure the computer that you are using to access the internet is on the same network as the phone, and then open a web browser.
- Follow the https:// with the IP address of the phone before you enter the password.
- Using the phone’s web interface, sign in as an administrator to access the phone’s features.
Note : Admins are given a username of admin and a password of admin to access the system. The vendor of your phone should be able to provide you with your username and password if you do not know them. Zoom’s web portal can be used to view the password that you have set for the admin account if you have set it globally. - Select Settings and then Upgrade from the drop-down menu.
- Please select your Yealink firmware file from the Browse box and then click the Upload button once the Yealink firmware file is selected.
Update of the firmware may take a few minutes, depending on the speed of your computer. Keep the phone powered on at all times.

Zoom Phone Appliance mode will be enabled on the phone. You can find more information about Zoom Phone Appliances in the getting started guide provided by Zoom Phone.
