Installation and Setup
Installation and Setup
The 57i can be setup to share a network connection with another network
device. Power can be provided by an AC adapter, 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. If your
Network Administrator has already setup your phone, please refer to
the
57i
User Guide
(if provided) for call handling information or
contact your Network Administrator.
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 top of the phone are two fully switched 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet cable ports. The port marked with
LAN
is used to connect the
phone to the network, as well as provide power to your phone (if
required). See the section
"Connecting to the Network and to Power"
on
page 9
