Setting up Better Together over Ethernet

BToE enables operations to be mirrored on both AudioCodes' phone and the Skype for Business
client on the PC, so that these operations can be controlled from either the phone or the PC,
whichever is convenient to the user at the time, for enhanced unified communications and
optimized enterprise efficiency.
After your phone is paired with your Skype for Business client, you can control (from phone or
PC) operations such as answering incoming calls, making outgoing calls (click-to-dial), putting
calls on hold and resuming them, and making conference calls.
Here's how to set up the Microsoft Skype for Business feature 'Better Together over Ethernet' on
AudioCodes' 400HD Series of IP Phones.

Installing the BToE PC Application

Here's how to install AudioCodes' BToE PC application.

To install the BToE PC application:
1. After obtaining the installation file whose name will be either AudioCodes BToE.exe or
AudioCodes BToE.msi, save it to your PC and then double-click it.
Note:
•
The msi file is for the purpose of network administrator distribution. Users are not allowed
to install BToE using the msi file, only using the exe file.
•
After installing with the exe, then when upgrading the exe must be used. Upgrading with
the msi cannot be done if the first installation was with the exe, and vice versa.
•
Some PCs require the installation of .Net 4.0 prior to the installation of the BToE PC
application. If you use the installation file AudioCodes BToE.exe, the Installation Wizard
will detect that .Net 4.0 is missing and will prompt you to install it:
When installing the BToE PC application using the installation file AudioCodes BToE.msi,
you won't be prompted to install .Net 4.0 and the network administrator should make the
necessary preparations prior to installation of the BToE PC application.
