Question

I moved my desk and unplugged my phone, how do I plug it all back in again?

Answer

Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the wall jack in your office, it can not plug into a switch or hub first.

Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the port on the back of the phone, into the port that has the icon of 2 computers. It will be the third port up from the bottom of the phone. (in the image below the blue wire is the one plugged into the wall).

Then plug another Ethernet cord into the back of the phone next to the port that says "PC" and has a picture of a desktop computer. It will be right above the other cord and in the image below has a red cord plugged in. You can then plug the other end of that Ethernet cord into a docking station, directly into a laptop or desktop, or you can plug it into a switch.

If you have any questions or problems getting your docking station connected please submit the "Report a computer problem" request and ITS will assist you.
