Set Up Basic Phone Features
After you set up your Polycom
®
phones with a default configuration on the network, phone users will be
able to place and receive calls. However, you may want to add features to the default configuration to suit
your organization and user’s needs. Polycom provides basic and advanced features that you can
configure for the phones to add efficiency and convenience. This section will show you how to configure
all available basic phone features and call management features.
Before you begin configuring phone features, take the time to read the short introductory section Read
the Feature Parameter Tables. This section provides important information you need to know in order to
successfully perform configuration changes.
