Hi There,

I have tried doing my search on google but couldn't find any answer and was hoping if some one could assist me here.

I recently moved in to an office space where I have to use there IP phone (?) which is a:
Tadiran Telecom Business System
Coral FlexSet -IP 280s

As I make many phone calls, at home I have the phone line connected to a PC and my "regular" phone device connect to a PC and successfully auto dial out using address contact manager.

There are two jacks on the phone both for ethernet cable. One says LAN and the other says PC (but nothing happens after connecting the PC and the phone). Can anyone assist me on how to set up the system? Any advise is much appreciated.

This is the IP 280S? My first thought is that it has to be powered. Not familiar with those phones but power is usually either from a plug-in "wall wart" or PoE (power over ethernet) which comes from the network switch.

If it's the "wall wart" it's something you can do- find it and plug the cord into the phone. If it's PoE make sure the drop is connected to a powered port on the switch if you know what to look for.

Hi Hal,

Thank you for your reply. The power is through an adapter. The phone does receive the power and it works great... But it won't dial out from my contact manager.

Any other thoughts?

Amy

So you are saying that your problem is that you want the computer with contact manager at work to work with this IP phone the same as your POTS phone and computer modem at home? Ain't going to happen. The network connection to the phone then to the computer is just for convenience- to eliminate the need to install two jacks on the wall. It's just a "pass through", the computer doesn't actually connect to the phone in any way.

Maybe someone else smarter than I can suggest a solution, I can't think of any.

It depends on a lot of connections that may or may not be present. This topic would be better in the Tadiran section as this is attached to a Tadiran switch.

BTW:

Ok then. I'll move it to Tadiran.

Sorry about posting on the wrong thread.

Much thanks to your prompt replies, Hal and Steve.

hummm. I didn't think this could be easy but seems like it is possible? Steve, if it's not a hassle might you indicate what I need to do to get it happen? or a resource, key words, that I should use to search on web?

I tried on my own with what I could think of but obviously failed to find anything.

Much thanks.

Amy

Amy, when you say you can not use contact manager, do you have Coral Navigator on your PC?

Hi Mars,

No I don't have Coral Navigator on my PC. I was never given such software.

Amy

If I had to guess, I would say that you need to get Navigator on your PC, that integrates with your outlook and some other software so that you can click and make calls. If that is what I am understanding that you would like to do?
