9
To use the IP Phone 2004, log on to the Communication Server 2100
IP Client Manager by entering a user name and password. After log in,
the handset and keypad of the IP Phone operate in the same way as
a standard Meridian Business Set (MBS) telephone. With the correct
permissions, additional services and features can be accessed using the
softkeys of the function display area. The four softkeys located below the
display area can consist of a Menu softkey and three feature softkeys. The
navigation keys can be used to select a particular menu option. The three
feature softkeys can be configured by your system administrator to activate
features provisioned on the line without having to use the dedicated
feature key. The default Centrex features available on the softkeys are
Transfer, Forward, and Conference. For more information, see “Softkey
functionality” (page 74).
The Figure 1 "IP Phone 2004" (page 10) shows the functional components
of the IP Phone.
•The login screen shows the digits on information line 0 as entered. The
user name and password can be a maximum of 15 digits.
•Six user-defined feature keys (soft-labeled 0-5) provide additional call
features for the IP Phone.
•Menu items appear on information lines 0 to 2 with the selected item
indicated by a shaded bar behind the item.
•Four softkeys allow you to select menu options and three additional
features.
•To select a numerically-indexed menu item, select the item on the
screen and then press OK, or you can press the shortcut key (press
the dialpad key that corresponds to the number of the item). Shortcut
keys let you jump directly to the screen without scrolling. Only menu
items numbered 0-9 have a shortcut key.
•Press the Menu soft key or the Services key on the IP Phone to access
the menu system. See Figure 1 "IP Phone 2004" (page 10) for the
location of this key.
Do not plug the IP Phone into a regular telephone jack. This
results in severe damage to the IP Phone 2004. Consult your
system administrator to ensure that you plug your telephone into
a 10/100BaseT Ethernet jack.
See Figure 1 "IP Phone 2004" (page 10) for the location of the connectors.
