Whenever you stop using one device without manually signing out, you’re still logged in on the others, which means that you remain available on Skype and anyone can still message you.

The remaining configuration steps below enable the Better Together over Ethernet (BToE) feature which allows you to control the telephone with the Skype for Business client on your Windows PC.But there’s also a downside.

You can review the status from the phone by selecting the BTOE option on the main screen.Īt this point the phone is connected to your Skype for Business account and can be used to send and receive calls. You can review the status of the BToE Connector on your PC by right-clicking the icon in the system tray and selecting BToE Status.Because BToE was already enabled on your phone and the Skype for Business client is running, the BToE Connector will pair with your phone automatically.

In the User name box, enter your Skype for Business username
