PHONE INSTALLATION.
There are two options for power and network connections. Your system administrator
will let you know which one to use.
AC power (optional)
To connect the AC power you need to:
1. Connect the DC plug on the power adapter to the DC5V port on the phone, then
connect the other end of the power adapter into an electrical power outlet.
2. Connect a standard Ethernet cable (included) between the Internet port on the
phone and the one on the wall or switch/hub device port.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Using a standard Ethernet cable (included), the BT T46G IP Phone can be powered
from both a PoE-compliant switch or hub. Simply connect the Ethernet cable
between the Internet port on the phone and an available port on the in-line power
switch/hub.
Connecting the network
and power.
Note:
If an in-line power switch/hub has
been provided, you won’t need to
connect the phone to the power
adapter. Just make sure the switch/
hub is PoE-compliant. The phone
can also share the network with
another network device such as a
PC. It’s an optional connection.
Important! Don’t unplug or remove
power to the phone while it is
updating firmware and
configurations.
