Multiple Lines
SoundPoint IP 500 SIP can display up to three
lines, each associated with their own line key
to the left of the screen. Lines can be cong-
ured for local Directory Numbers (DNs), such
as your main extension and a private line or for
Speed Dial shortcuts on outbound dialing.
Typically, the top-most line key is reserved for
the principle DN of the telephone. Depend-
ing on how your telephone is congured, the
display could resemble one of the screens
show here:
Contact your System Administrator or
consult the Administrator Guide SoundPoint
IP SIP to change the appearance of the line
labels.
Multiple Call Appearances
Each line congured on the SoundPoint
IP 500 SIP telephone can have two call
appearances. This is very useful if the user
is on one call and needs to act upon another
incoming call on the same line. In the
example shown, local user 9301 is in an out-
bound call with 9304. The second diagram
now shows an incoming call from extension
9305. Soft key labels update the display to
enable the user to:
1. Answer this incoming call, the rst
call is automatically placed on Hold.
2. Ignore the incoming call (press
EndCall).
3. Forward the incoming call to another
extension.
Answering the incoming call places the
original call on Hold and refreshes the soft
key labels as indicated (last illustration).

Presence / Status / Buddy Lists
The SoundPoint IP 500 SIP telephone
combines interactive message services and
status monitoring to complement a tradi-
tional messaging application such as email.
Live interaction within a pool of telephones
is possible by measuring the “presence” of
the parties involved.
Each telephone can “watch” the status
of up to eight other telephones. Each
telephone can also be “watched” by up
to eight other telephones. The status of
monitored users is displayed and updated
in real time. This pool of up to eight tele-
phones is referred to as a “Buddy List”.

Phone Reboot
Periodically, the telephone may require a user
reboot. Reasons for this could include:
• Accepting a new conguration or new
software
• After disconnecting from the network
• Telephone not responding to calling or
feature key presses
In the cases above, pressing and holding the
Messages, Hold, and Volume keys (highlighted
above) for more than 3 seconds will enact a
simple reboot. The reboot process will begin
and is complete when the idle display is again
shown.
To monitor the status of the Buddy List,
press Buddies from the idle display. The dia-
gram shows a typical Status screen display
of monitored telephones.

It may be possible to restore normal
operation of your telephone without
rebooting. Please contact your Sys-
tem Administrator before attempting
to reboot the telephone.

Troubleshooting
• If using an AC wall adapter make
sure the DC jack is properly con-
nected at the rear of the telephone.
• If using inline powering from
a switch or hub, check that the
switch/hub is correctly supplying
power to that particular port (con-
tact your System Administrator)
• If the idle display is not similar to
that shown on Page 4, try reboot-
ing the telephone (See Page 16) or
cycling power and allow the unit
to reboot. Contact your System
Administrator if the display still
shows problems.
No Display or Incorrect Display
No Dial Tone
• Make sure that the handset cord ts
the handset and the jack on the rear
panel correctly.
• Switch between Handset, Head-
set (if connected), and Handsfree
Speakerphone Modes to try to ob-
tain dial tone on these other paths.
• Make sure that the LAN cable is
inserted properly at the rear of the
telephone
No Ringing
• Adjust the ringing level from the
front panel using the volume up/
down keys.
• Place a call to the unit from a
known working telephone. Check
for incoming ring signal.
No Audio on Headset
• Ensure the headset is plugged into
the jack marked Headset on the
rear panel.
• Swap the handset into the headset
jack (or vice-versa) and verify that
audio is now present (if so, the
headset may need replacing).
• Ensure the headset amplier (if
connected) is turned on and/or the
volume is correctly adjusted. If the
amplier is equipped with batteries,
check that they are fully charged.
No Response from Key Presses
• Some keys are inactive when the
telephone is not in a call. Check
for a response from other feature
keys or from the dial pad.
• Place a call to the unit from a
known working telephone. Check
for display updates.
• To check if the telephone is cor-
rectly registered to the server, press
Menu followed by System Status
and Server Status.
• Contact your System Administrator
before attempting to reboot your
telephone, since this may allow
more detailed troubleshooting to
occur before losing any current
status information.
