Troubleshooting
Verify power is correctly applied to the
SoundPoint
® IP 500/501 SIP phone:
• Check that the display is illumi-
nated.
• Make sure the LAN cable is insert-
ed properly at the rear of the phone
(try unplugging and re-inserting the
cable).
• If using inline powering, check
that the switch is supplying power
to the phone (contact your System
Administrator).
Verify if dial tone is present on any other
audio paths:
• Switch between handset, headset
(if present) or hands-free to see if
dial tone is present on these other
paths.
• If dial tone exists on one of these,
connect a different handset or head-
set to isolate the problem.
