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:
