Preparation and requirements
You can set up a Dolby Conference Phone in a conference room or an office. Before you use the phone, read the guide shipped with your phone package, and review the following requirements for room size, power, and network connectivity.
Configuring the provisioning method
There are several different methods for provisioning the Dolby Conference Phone.
Configuring the phone with Dolby Conferencing Console
You can easily set up multiple Dolby Conference Phones by using the Dolby Conferencing Console as the provisioning server. We recommend using Dolby Conferencing Console if you have more than five Dolby Conference Phones to manage.
Deploying the phone
Deploying the phone involves setting it up for first-time use and connecting it to a provisioning server. The setup wizard screens vary depending on the setup methods available and the choices you make. The wizard also guides you through network setup, if needed.
Configuring phone features
As the administrator, you can configure common features that are intended for end users of the Dolby Conference Phone (for example, call forwarding, automatic answer, and do not disturb). You can also set passwords and connect the phone to your corporate directory.
Administering the phone
You can view status information, diagnostic information, and error messages from the Dolby Conference Phone. You can perform administrative tasks, such as exporting a phone configuration or downloading logs, from the phone web interface.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue with the Dolby Conference Phone, we recommend that you attempt basic troubleshooting before you contact Support. The information in this chapter describes likely causes of phone issues and corrective actions you can take to resolve them. Follow the available troubleshooting procedures to review logs and error messages, run diagnostics, and possibly upgrade the phone software.
