Adding Telephones 123
5 For each telephone that you want to Auto Discover:
a Remove the telephone from the packing box.
b Connect power to the telephone as described on page 124 or on the
packing sheet that comes with the telephone.
c Connect the telephone to the LAN on which the NCP resides as
described on
page 126 or on the packing sheet that comes with the
telephone.
d Wait until the telephone display panel displays an extension number. If
you are configuring a device that does not have a display panel, such
as a 3100 Entry Telephone, you should display the
Telephone
Configuration > Telephones tab in the NBX NetSet utility. After the
system discovers the telephone and you refresh the Telephones tab,
The new device appears as the highest extension.
e Record the extension number on the telephone’s shipping box. If you
are configuring a 3100 Entry Telephone, you can use the NBX
LabelMaker utility,
Downloads > LabelMaker, to create a label that
shows the telephone’s extension and then place the label in its holder
underneath the handset.
f Disconnect the telephone from the LAN.
g Disconnect power from the telephone.
After you have discovered a telephone, it retains its settings. The
telephone can now be placed at its intended location. When you
connect the telephone to the LAN and power, the extension appears
on the display panel.
If the telephone will be located on a different subnet from the NCP, you
must configure the network to provide the proper IP information to the
telephone. See
Chapter 10 , “Configuring IP Telephony” on page 179 for
more information.
