Getting Started with Your SoundPoint® IP 550 Desktop Phone

Registering Your SoundPoint® IP 550 Desktop Phone

Generally, your phone will be deployed with multiple other phones. In this case, your system administrator will configure the phone parameters beforehand, so that once it is set up, it will be registered and ready to use.

If your phone is not part of a large deployment, it may not be registered after you set it up. Before you use your phone, you or your system administrator will have to register it.

For detailed information on how to register your phone after you install it, refer to Quick Tip 44011 Registering Standalone SoundPoint IP, SoundStation IP, and Polycom VVX Phones, available from http://www.polycom.com/usa/en/support/voice/soundpoint_ip/VoIP_T echnical_Bulletins_pub.html .
