Set up desk phones to use with Google Voice in your organization. That way, your users can make and receive calls over the internet, instead of over dedicated telephone lines.
- When you set up a phone to use Google Voice, it can't use any other service provider. Also, any existing lines and numbers on the device are removed.
- Provide power to the phone through a separate power adapter or a Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable.
- Connect the phone to the internet.
- Assign a Voice license and number for each user that you want to assign a phone to. For details, go to Assign Voice licenses to users.
- Find the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the phone. It's printed on the back of the phone or shown in the settings panel on the phone and you’ll need it for setup. For Poly VVX OBi Edition phones, you can use the serial number as the MAC address. The only number on the back of a VVX phone is the serial number.
- Make sure Poly's trusted IP addresses are allowed. If not, you need to add them to your allowlist. For a list of the trusted IP addresses, see Required Ports and Trusted IP Addresses and Hosts.
