how to install Poly OBi VVX 250 IP Phone

1) Determine placement: choose a convenient desk spot with easy access to your network, or prepare the wall-mount hardware for a cleaner, space-saving setup.

2) Connect power and network: insert an Ethernet cable into the phone’s RJ-45 port and connect the other end to a PoE-enabled switch or router. If PoE is not available, use the optional power adapter to power the device.

3) Attach the handset and route cables: connect the handset cord and route it to prevent any snagging or interference with daily tasks.

4) Boot and configure: power on the device and allow it to boot. Use the on-screen menus to configure basic network settings and prepare it for SIP account entry. If your IT team manages phones centrally, provide the device with the SIP credentials and server address so the admin can push configuration automatically.

5) Customize for your workflow: once connected, you can assign lines, set up speed dials, configure presence, set ringtones, and tailor features such as call forwarding, call transfer, and conferencing to your team’s needs. For most deployments, administrators will complete the bulk of the configuration via the phone’s web interface or a centralized IP telephone management system.
