Sign Into Your Phone

If Lync is installed on your computer, you can simplify the phone sign-in

process and make and receive Lync Phone Edition calls from your computer

by using the USB cable to connect your phone to your computer. See Sign In

Using Microsoft Lync.

If you do not have Lync installed on your computer, you can sign in to Lync

Phone Edition by using a sign-in personal identification number (PIN).

However, you will have limited access to certain features, such as voice mail,

calendar, and call logs, as well as reduced functionality. See Sign In Using a

PIN.

If Lync is installed on your computer, connect your phone to your computer

as shown next (this screen displays on your phone).

The connection is detected and you are prompted for your user name and

password on your computer.

If you use Lync with Office 365, type in your user name as

[email protected] (for example, [email protected]). If you don't use

Office 365, type your user name as domain\username (for example,

contoso\bobk).

Sign Into Your Phone

The sign-in process starts. The following screens displays on your phone.

You must create a PIN if Lync is not installed on your computer.

To sign in on your phone:

1If you do not have a computer connected to the phone, from the Welcome

screen, select No.

Note

If you have already configured Lync to use another audio device, for example a

headset, you must change the selected device in Lync. On your computer, open

Lync, and, on the lower left part of the Lync main window, click the Primary Device

icon, click Audio Device Settings, and then select Lync Phone Edition as your

audio device.

name or the phone extension. For example, to find ‘Tony Smith,’ begin

To call from Microsoft Lync on your computer:

most recent call, and a personal note if the contact has written one.
