3.1.2 First connection as remote working
When you connect your desk phone for the first time remotely, you are prompted to set a PIN code.
The PIN code is requested when you enter in the VPN configuration (submenus) or when you boot your
desk phone (depending on the VPN configuration).
The PIN code is retained during the session so that you can access the VPN configuration without having
to re-enter your PIN code until you exit the VPN configuration.
Before configuring your phone for remote working, check if you have all the information from your
administrator.
If your desk phone is equipped with the magnetic keyboard, use it to enter letters. If not, use the
alphanumeric keyboard to enter letters. Use the alphanumeric keyboard key to switch between the
numeric and alphabetic keyboard. When in alphabetic mode, the LED corresponding to the key remains
lit up.
The ALE-500 Enterprise DeskPhone has a virtual alphabetical keyboard displayed on the lower half of the
screen by sliding the screen to the left.
