Enable and Pair Better Together over Ethernet
Before you can begin using BToE, you must pair your Polycom phone and your computer to enable BToE.
To pair your phone with your computer and enable BToE:
1 Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the PC port on your phone.
The message "Successfully Paired" is displayed on the phone, and, if you are not signed into Skype
for Business on your phone, a dialog box is displayed on your computer asking for your Skype for
Business login credentials.
2 Enter your login credentials in the dialog box.
The message "Better Together Activated" is displayed on your phone, the BTOE icon
displayed on the status bar, and the Polycom VVX phone's driver is installed on your computer.
3 If prompted, choose Skip Searching Windows Update for Drive.
Polycom VVX Phone is displayed in your list of audio devices in your Skype for Business client.
When the same user account is signed into the phone and the Skype for Business client, your computer
and phone are paired, and BToE is activated. However, when the phone and Skype for Business client are
signed into with different user accounts (for example, when you connect your computer to a shared phone),
the computer and phone are paired, but BToE is not activated.
If your phone does not pair with your computer, see the section
Set Your Phone as Your Primary Audio Device
Before you begin using the BToE feature, you need to ensure that your Polycom VVX phone is set as your
primary audio device in your Skype for Business client on your computer.
To select Polycom VVX Phone as your primary audio device:
» In your Skype for Business client, click the audio device icon and select Polycom VVX Phone as your
primary device, as shown next.
