User Interfaces

There are two ways to configure your phone:
Via phone user interface
Via web user interface
The phone user interface, being made up of keypad and LCD screen, allows users to perform all
call operations and change basic configuration settings directly on the phone. But if you want
to access all configuration settings, you should use web user interface instead. In most cases, it
is possible to configure your phone via both phone user interface and web user interface. While
in some particular cases, only via phone user interface or via web user interface is available for
you to operate or configure your phone. This guide mainly takes phone user interface as an
example.

Phone User Interface

You can customize your phone by pressing the Menu soft key to access the phone user
interface. The Setting->Advanced 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 Phone on page 39.
Menus are used to access information and configure the phone.

The figure below shows the phone's menus and submenus.
User Guide for the T46S Skype for Business phone

Web User Interface

In addition to the phone user interface, you can also customize your phone via web user
interface. In order to access the web user interface, you need to know the IP address of your
new phone by pressing the OK key on the phone when the phone is idle. Enter the IP address
(for example, http://192.168.0.10 or 192.168.0.10 for IPv4; http://[2005:1:1:1:215:65ff:fe64:6e0a]
or [2005:1:1:1:215:65ff:fe64:6e0a] for IPv6) in the address bar of a web browser on your PC. The
default administrator user name and password are both admin (case-sensitive).
Navigating the Web User Interface
When you log into the web user interface successfully, the phone status is displayed on the first
page of the web user interface. You can click each menu to customize or click Log out to log
out of the web user interface.
The following figure is an example that navigates to Settings->Preference:
