Manually Configure
Telephones
You can add telephones to the system manually using the NBX NetSet
utility. However, if you have many telephones to configure, manual
configuration can be a tedious and error-prone process. For information
about adding telephones manually, see the
NBX Administrator’s Guide .
Manual Configuration Notes
■
Typically, you must connect the telephone to the network segment on
which the NCP resides to enable the NCP to communicate with the
telephone. You can manually define a telephone’s ability to
communicate with its NCP by using the Telephone Local User Interface
utility (LUI) or the 3Com Telephone Local Configuration application
(TLC). The LUI utility resides on each 3Com telephone. You can install
the TLC application to your PC by clicking
Downloads > Applications
For details about these tools, see the NBX Administrator’s Guide .
Connecting Power to
the Telephone
All 3Com telephones can accept power from an AC converter, however,
the power converter is an optional component on 3Com 3100-series
telephones because these devices are compliant with the IEEE 802.3af
Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard.
To eliminate the power converter, you can connect your 3Com Telephone
to a powered Ethernet cable. NBX devices can use Ethernet power
directly or through the use of a splitter device. The method you use to
connect an NBX device to a powered Ethernet cable depends on the type
of Ethernet power in use at your facility and the type of NBX device you
are connecting. See
Table 28 for power connection details.
The base stations for 3Com 3106C and 3107C Cordless Telephones do
not support PoE.
