2 Installing Your IP Phone
This guide is intended to show you how to install
your phone and describes how to use some of
the basic functions and features. The features

Your phone system might not provide all of the

your phone system administrator for questions
about phone features.
Use these procedures to install the phone and
connect it to your network.
