3 Do more with your desk phone
Your desk phone is designed to evolve with its environment. It can do more than just establish
communication between people or keep in touch with your contacts, your enterprise.
This chapter describes some use-cases with your phone. Other improvements will be available soon.
3.1 Configure your phone for remote working
Your IP phone is compatible with remote working (VPN) via a secure connection (encrypted). Your phone
supports the IKEv1 and IKEv2 protocol to send data securely. In this mode, all features available at your
office will be ready for use remotely.
If the telephone system of your enterprise is configured to accept remote workers (system and
infrastructure), you have to configure your desk phone to be ready for remote working.
The configuration of the phone depends on the infrastructure of your telephony network.
For information, please consult the following guide:
