If a phone requires a user login, you may be able to place calls to authorized numbers when the
phone is in the logged-out state. If your system administrator has set up emergency numbers on
the phone, you can place calls to the standard emergency number, such as 911, and up to five
other authorized numbers. You won’t be able to call any other numbers until you log in to the
phone.
To place a call to an authorized number from a phone in the logged-out state:
1 Press New Call.
2 From the Place an Authorized Call screen, select the number you want to call, and press
Dial.
Changing Your Password
You can change your password from any phone that you’re currently logged in to.
Note: User Password Security Best Practices
By default, user passwords are factory preset to the numerals 123. Polycom recommends
that you change your password when you first log in to a phone. Your user credentials are
managed only by your administrator, meaning you can’t change them yourself.
To change your user password:
1 Log in to any phone on your network.
2 Select Settings from Home view, and select Features > User Login > Change User
Login Password.
3 From the Change User Login Password screen, enter your old password, enter a new
password and confirm it, and then press Enter.
Your password is changed. The next time you log in to a phone, you’ll need to enter this
password.
Locking the Phone
Lock your phone to do the following:
Prevent unauthorized outgoing calls.
Allow only authorized people to answer calls.
Prevent people from viewing or modifying phone information, such as your directory, call
lists, or favorites.
When your phone is locked:
You can only make an outgoing call to a number from a list of authorized numbers.
