    How to troubleshoot Polycom SoundPoint IP 560 with no power?
    • M
      Miss Jennifer MurphyAug 27, 2025
      If your Polycom IP Phone has no power, verify that no lights appear on the phone. Check if the phone is properly plugged into a functional AC outlet, and ensure it's not controlled by a light switch. If using a power strip, try plugging it directly into a wall outlet. If using PoE, the power supply voltage may be too high or too low. Try the phone in another room where the electricity is known to be working on a particular outlet.

    • S
      Stephanie HernandezAug 27, 2025
      If the dial pad on your Polycom IP Phone isn't responding, check the response from other feature keys or from the dial pad. Place a call to the phone from a known working telephone and check for display updates. Check if the LAN port is active or inactive via Menu > Status > Network > Ethernet. Also, check the network LAN cable connection.
