Getting Started
Setting up Your BB424 Devices
Before using your BB424 devices, make sure that they are properly installed.
Installing Button Boxes
Up to four BB424 devices can be connected to a ShoreTel IP485g phone. For details about how to
connect one or more BB424s to an IP485g phone, see the ShoreTel BB424 Quick Install Guide that
was included in the box with your BB424.
If you have multiple button boxes installed, the order in which the button boxes are connected to the
hardware ports on the back of the phone and the BB424s (as described in the ShoreTel BB424 Quick
Install Guide) determines the sequence of the BB424s as represented by the LEDs on the page
indicator buttons at the bottom of each BB424. The page sequence LEDs for various BB424
configurations are shown in
Reducing Glare on the BB424 Screen
If glare makes it difficult to see the button box's display screen, you can adjust the tilt angle of the
stand on the back of the BB424. Detailed instructions are provided in the ShoreTel BB424 Quick Install
Guide packaged with your BB424.
Understanding Virtual Pages and Physical Devices
Each BB424 contains 24 physical buttons, but through the use of virtual pages you or your ShoreTel
administrator can program up to 96 buttons, regardless of the number of physical devices installed.
The 96 programmable buttons are provided through physical devices alone or through a combination
of virtual pages and physical devices. With the seven programmable buttons on your IP485g phone,
you can have a total of 103 custom buttons.
The numbered buttons below the display on the BB424 are page indicator buttons. Depending on your
configuration, a page either represents a physical BB424 device or is a virtual page. If you have just
one button box installed, the button box displays one page of buttons and gives you access to three
virtual pages of buttons. If you have more than one button box installed, the pages are distributed
across your devices. The last button box in the sequence includes any virtual pages not associated
with a physical device. The possible configurations are illustrated in
Regardless of whether you have physical BB424 devices or virtual pages, you can always access up
to four pages of programmed buttons. The advantage to having four physical BB424 devices is that
you can see all the configured buttons at the same time. With other configurations, you must press a
page button to see the programmed buttons on that page.
