User Interfaces

Overview
Two ways to customize configurations of your SIP-T21(P) E2 IP phone:
The user interface on the IP phone.
The user interface in a web browser on your PC.
The hardware components keypad and LCD screen constitute the phone user interface, which allows the user to execute all call operation tasks and basic configuration changes directly on the phone. In addition, you can use the web user interface to access all configuration settings. In many cases, either the phone user interface and/or the web user interface interchangeably. However, in some cases, it is only possible to use one or the other interface to operate the phone and change settings.

Phone User Interface

You can customize your phone by pressing the Menu soft key to access the phone user interface. The Advanced Settings option is only accessible to the administrator, and the default administrator password is admin (case-sensitive). For more information on customizing your phone with the available options from the phone user interface, refer to Customizing Your
