Understanding Display Messages

The phone display still shows the startup screen after I have connected it to the computer and waited more than a minute.

The phone display shows “Sign in to Office Communicator” even when the phone is already connected to my computer.

One or a combination of the following conditions might apply:

•The phone might not be communicating with Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 because the computer is in sleep mode.

If your computer is in sleep mode, take it out of sleep mode so that it can communicate with Microsoft Office Communicator and your phone.

•Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 is not running or you have not signed in to your account.

•Another telephone device is connected to the same computer and selected as the default device for Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2.

The Polycom CX300 phone display will continue to show the Sign in message until it is selected as the default device for Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 or until the other device selected is disconnected.
