Configuring the TGP 5XX Series for use with Cytracom

Activating the Panasonic phone will allow it to communicate with Cytracom's servers.

It is necessary to configure the Panasonic phone in the event of a factory reset, or if there is a new Panasonic obtained from alternate sources that needs to be connected to Cytracom's systems.

Note: This step should only be completed if certain the phone's firmware is the latest version from Panasonic. For information on how to verify this:

• Access the phone's main menu by pressing the square center button in between the three square buttons.
• Select Line Status and press the square center button.
• The number xxxxxxxx will either have a Check Mark or a Circle with a line going through it. This information is pertaining to whether or not the device is currently connected to Cytracom's servers. 

 For information on how to perform the upgrade:

• Access the phone via the local network. Once logged in, the starting page will be Version Information.
