Using Star Connection Feature
You can deploy up to four CP965 phones in a star layout. In the star connection group, one phone acts as a primary
phone, while other phones act as the subsidiary phones.
The primary phone keeps all features, while the subsidiary phones only sync some key features of the primary
phone, such as DND and call mute. After connecting, the subsidiary phones are mainly used to work as speakers or
microphones.
Before You Begin
Make sure all the phones are deployed in the same subnet. And all the phones are running the same firmware ver-
sions. You cannot activate Wi-Fi when using star connection feature.
