Anyone good with IP Phones?

[IceNineKills]

Well, the office at work closed down so I was given a 'Yealink Enterprise IP Phone SIP-T20P' to work from home with. All I was told is that I just needed to plug the internet cable it came with and it'll work but it doesn't.

I've called my boss etc about it but she's useless and needs to call some other dude. Just wondering if anyone here knows about IP Phones?

Did you consider reading the instructions manual? You have to configure it.

Configuring via Web Page
Press OK button on the keypad of the phone to enter the status page and find out the
IP address of IP phone. Enter it (for example http://192.168.3.28) into the address bar
of web browser. The default login name and password are both “admin”.
Note:
Please locate your PC in the same network segment of IP phone (192.168.3.X) to
access the web configuration page. Please consult your system administrator for help.

Network Settings
Choose Network->Internet Port（WAN）.
DHCP: By default the phone attempts to contact a DHCP Server in your network in
order to obtain its valid network settings, e.g. IP address, sub mask, gateway, DNS
server, etc.

Static IP Address: If your phone cannot contact a DHCP Server for any reason, you
need to enter the network settings manually via Static IP Address. Please contact your
internet administrator for more details.

PPPoE: If you are using the xDSL Modem, you can connect your phone to the internet
via PPPoE mode. Please contact your ISP for the User Name and Password for internet
access.
Note:
Using the wrong network parameters may result in inaccessibility of your phone and
may also have an impact on your network performance. Please contact your network
administrator.

Account Settings
The phone attempts to register to the SIP server using the account/registrar data
provided by the automatic or manual initialization.
Choose Account, you will find the following parameters:

I didn't get a manual with it which didn't help but thank you :).

You probably won't have too much use out of it at home unless you get yourself a SIP provider, just saying.
