Connecting

  1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the port in your office to the port in the upper left on the rear of the phone body.
  2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the port in the upper right on the rear of the phone body.
  3. Optional: Connect your phone headset to the port in the lower left on the rear of the phone body. (IT has headsets available at the IT Help Desk if you need one.)
  4. Connect the cord from the handset to the port in the lower right on the rear of the phone body.
