Connecting to the Network
The Cisco SIP IP phone has two RJ-45 ports that each support 10/100 Mbps half-
or full-duplex Ethernet connections to external devices—network port (labeled
10/100 SW) and access port (labeled 10/100 PC). You can use either
Category 3 or 5 cabling for 10 Mpbs connections, but use Category 5 for 100
Mbps connections. On both the network port and access port, use full-duplex
mode to avoid collisions.
