Your new phone works though Communicator.[[image:wiggle_1.gif]]

 * Use the blue communicator symbol to open Tools
 * Add a contact - add your grade level team members
 * Double click their name to start a conversation - remember when you push enter it sends your message.
 * Try calling a team members phone number - see if they answer
 * Try calling 801-618-7485 - see what happens
 * Since the phones are turned off during school hours - there should be a message in your email telling you there was a missed call.
 * We will have more training in the Fall - so stay tuned!!!

Message from Clay Glad - NE
“I got my Poloycom 300 IP phone today. Plugged it in and it said ‘Sign in to Office Communicator’ on it’s screen. I am signed into Communicator!!!”

This is normal (for new users to the system). ..

The phone gives this message until a user is logged into Communicator that has a phone number configured.

You will know a user has a phone number setup when.

When until you get an e-mail from Microsoft Outlook, Titled “Welcome to Exchange Unified Messaging” telling you your number, PIN and the numbers to call to check your voice mail etc.

However even though the phone appears NOT to work, you can use it for Communicator to Communicator (no phone number involved) calls, in Communicator right-click a person who is online and available and choose “Call: Communicator Call” if they have a phone, it rings and if they pick it up they answer…

So before we have Phone numbers setup on the server side you can still use the phone as a mike/headset for inside the District Communicator calls.

After a phone number is assigned to the user logged in, the phone display will show their name, the date, time and their status as “available”, busy” etc. THEN they can make phone calls to real phone numbers and receive calls sent to their phone number.
