    Hi there. Is there an API entry point for Restarting a given Softphone?

    What do you mean "restart a softphone"? What are you trying to accomplish? A WebRTC station is just an audio connection between the edge and a web browser.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    Under Telephony / Phone Management / Phones / Edit Phone, we have the option to Restart Phone. This has been necessary sometimes during phone issue troubleshooting. We would like to have the ability to automate this for a particular step in our troubleshooting script.

    You can use POST /api/v2/telephony/providers/edges/phones/{phoneId}/reboot or POST /api/v2/telephony/providers/edges/phones/reboot to reboot phones. However, you cannot reboot a WebRTC phone; the API will return a 200, but it doesn't do anything. You cannot reboot WebRTC phones through the UI either.

    Thank you Tim. This is exactly what I needed.
