Installation and Setup
Installation and Setup
The TS-480i can be setup to share a network connection with another
network device. Power can be provided by an 802.3af compliant
network power source or with a PoE inline power injector (optional
accessory). It can also be installed on a desk or mounted on the wall.
Direct or Shared Network Connection
The phone can be set up as a direct network connection to the Ethernet wall
jack or as a shared network connection as a pass-through if connecting a
computer or another network device to the phone.
Direct Network Connection
Located at the back of the phone are two fully switched 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet cable ports. The port marked with
l
is used to connect the
phone to the network, as well as provide power to your phone. For more
information, see “Connecting to the network and to Power.”
Shared Network Connection
To connect a network device (such as a computer) to the phone, connect an
Ethernet Cable into the network port on the back of the phone marked
with

the network device you are sharing the network connection with.

jack on the TS-480i does not supply inline power onto other network
devices. All Ethernet cables used must be category 5/5e straight-through
cables, such as the cable provided with your phone.
