Troubleshooting

No Dial-Tone

Verify power is correctly applied to the SoundPoint® IP 300/301 SIP phone:

Check that the display is illuminated.

Make sure the LAN cable is inserted properly at the rear of the phone (try unplugging and re-inserting the cable).

If using in-line powering, check that the switch is supplying power to the phone (contact your system adminis- trator).

Verify if dial tone is present on any other audio paths:

Switch between handset, headset (if present) or hands-free to see if dial tone is present on these other paths.

If dial tone exists on one of these, connect a different handset or headset to isolate the problem.
