4.11.2 LAN Connections for IP Telephones
When an IP telephone is connected to the LAN and power is supplied for the first time, you will be prompted
to set network parameters. The network parameters must be set for the IP telephone before it can be used.
Refer to "5.7 Assigning Networking Information to IP Telephones" for instructions.
Connecting an IP Telephone to a Switching Hub
When connecting an IP telephone to the LAN, connect it to a switching hub.
Note
•
Use an Ethernet straight cable with an RJ45 connector to connect the IP telephone to a switching hub.
The cable should be a CAT 5 (Category 5) or higher for 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX, or CAT 5e (Enhanced
Category 5).
•
When using the VLAN feature on the network, make sure that the switching hub to be connected is
IEEE 802.1Q compliant and is configured for VLANs. In addition, the port of a switching hub that the
IP telephone is connected to must be set to "Trunk" port, to allow VLAN tagging. Consult your network
administrator for details.
•
Since an IP softphone is installed and operates on a PC, the PC must be connected to the LAN to use
the IP softphone on the network.
The diagram below is for connecting an IP-PT to a switching hub. For SIP phones, refer to the documentation
of your SIP phone.
