Using
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
, which uses standard twisted-pair cable to
convey electricity to IP phones, wireless access points and other devices, is
ideal. PoE isn’t a new idea. Utilities have been putting power and voice over
the same lines for decades, but until recently it wasn’t widely used for data
networks. PoE technology is highly reliable and an ideal way for businesses to
save on their communications infrastructures by transmitting power and data
over the same wire.
You have two options for network and power source connections. Please use
one of the following methods:
A. To connect the AC power (optional):
a. Connect the supplied network cable between the LAN jack on the
phone and the LAN port on the wall or hub/switch device port.
b. Connect the DC plug on the power adapter to the DC 9V1A jack on the
phone.
c. Connect the country-specific AC cord to the power adapter.
B. Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Using a regular CAT5 cable, the phone can be powered from a PoE (IEEE
802.3af) compliant switch or hub.
Plug the supplied network cable between the LAN jack on the phone and
an available power and data port on the in-line power switch.
