You can manage or add different types of devices. The system fully supports **UDP** and **WSS** protocols.

**Note:**

* Create a **WSS** type device if using a WebPhone.
* Create a **UDP** type device if using a Softphone or Hardphone.

**Creating a Device:**

* **Name:** Choose a device name. Example: Giorgi - 201
* **Extension:** Choose the corresponding internal number, which must be between 100 and 9999. Each internal number is unique and cannot be created twice.
* **User:** The user who will use the created device.

**Advanced Settings:**

* **Transport:** Choose **UDP** or **WSS** depending on the device type.

**Device Status:**

* **Green color:** The device is registered and ready to receive incoming calls and/or make outgoing calls.
* **Red color:** The device is created but not connected. This may be due to incorrectly configured SIP parameters.
