Installing Your Telephone on a Network (cont.)
Setting Up Your Telephone
Choose an area near an electrical outlet and a network port.
Your telephone can sit on a horizontal surface such as a desk or counter or be
mounted vertically on the wall. For mounting on the wall, slide the small plastic tab
located under the switchhook on the telephone cradle up towards the switchhook until
it comes off. Turn it around so that the little “shelf” points toward the switchhook and
slide it back into where it was. Now the handset stays on the telephone base when
you hang it up.
You may remove the clear protective plastic sheet from the LCD display.
AC power adapter
Plug the AC power adapter into an electrical outlet and the DC connecter into the AC-
Adapter Port on the back of the telephone.
CAUTION: Only use the 12V DC POWER SUPPLY included with your
telephone.
Connect Network
Connect one end of a network cable to a network port, such as on a hub, wall plate, or
cable/DSL modem, and the other end to the port labeled, NETWORK, on the back of the
telephone. This is an ethernet port.
When the LED next to the port is continuously off, this means that no link is established
(the port is not electrically connected to the network). Activity on the port is indicated
by a blinking LED.
Connect PC
Your telephone contains a hub so that you may plug another network device, which is
typically a PC, into it. This provides network access to both your telephone and PC
through a single external network connection. Connect one end of a network cable to
the network port on your PC and the other end to the port labeled, PC, on the back of
your telephone.
When the LED next to the port is continuously off, this means that no link is established
(the port is not electrically connected to the network). Activity on the port is indicated
by a blinking LED.
