Getting Started
11
To connect the PoE for the T19P IP phone:
1.
Connect the Ethernet cable between the Internet port on the phone and an
available port on the in-line power switch/hub.
Note
Phone Initialization
After your phone is powered on, the system boots up and performs the following steps:
Automatic Phone Initialization
The phone finishes the initialization by loading the saved configuration. The LCD screen
displays “Initializing…please wait” during this process.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
The phone attempts to contact a DHCP server in your network to obtain valid IPv4 and
IPv6 network settings (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address and DNS
address) by default.
Note
Registration
Generally, your phone will be deployed with multiple other phones. In this case, your
system administrator will configure the phone parameters beforehand, so that after you
start up your phone, the phone will be registered and ready for use. If your phone is not
registered, you may have to register it. Contact your system administrator for details on
registering your phone.
If in-line power switch/hub is provided, you don’t need to connect the phone to the power
adapter. Make sure the switch/hub is PoE-compliant.
The phone can also share the network with another network device such as a PC
(personal computer). It is an optional connection.
Important! Do not unplug or remove power to the phone while it is updating firmware
and configurations.
If your network does not use DHCP, contact your system administrator.
