SIP LD Series Woks Like a Telephone, Two Lines

1.Introduction to the Teledex iPhone SIP LD Series IP Phone

The Teledex iPhone SIP LD series IP phone is a SIP-compliant network terminal. Instead of using standard analog or digital telephone lines, it connects to the network in the same manner as computers and printers do. The voice and control signals to and from the SIP LD series phones are entirely digital data that is transmitted over the data network, rather than phone lines.

1.2The SIP LD Series Woks Like a Telephone

The SIP LD series phone functions in a manner very similar to analog or digital telephone instruments that are connected to a PABX (private automatic branch exchange.)

1.3 Two Lines

The SIP LD series can handle one or two calls

simultaneously, much like a standard “two-line” analog or digital telephone. However, there is only one line (or cable) connecting the SIP LD series to the network.

1.4 The Network

Instead of telephone lines, the SIP LD series connects to other IP telephones via an Ethernet network.

1.5 The IP-PBX

An IP-PBX is a telephone switching system inside that switches calls between Voice over IP (VoIP) users on local lines, and lets all users share a certain number of external telephone lines.

The typical IP-PBX can also switch calls between a VoIP user and a traditional telephone user, or between two traditional telephone users much like a conventional PBX does.

The IP-PBX controls all of the SIP LD series terminals

on the network, as well as other types of VoIP terminals that are connected to the network. The SIP LD series works with various IP-PBX products. For a list of IP-PBX

servers with which the SIP LD series is compliant, please visit www.teledex.com.

1.6 The Network System Administrator

The SIP LD series requires configuration in order to work properly on the network. This task is performed by a technical specialist referred to as a network or system administrator. The network administrator will perform the configuration steps from a control station at the IP-PBX.

2. Installing the SIP LD Series IP Phone

Installing the SIP LD series in a guest room or at a workstation is as simple as installing a conventional office telephone.

2.2 Versions of the SIP LD Series

NOTE: There are has three versions of this phone, depending on how power is supplied to the telephone.

Version 1: Local power version. This version requires an approved inline power adapter to provide power.

Version 2: PoE (Power over Ethernet) version. This version is designed for customers with a PoE compatible network interface available (e.g. PoE switch, or PoE injectors). The power for the phone is supplied over the Ethernet network.

Version 3: Dual-power version. The version can work in either local power or PoE mode, depending on jumper settings made to the phone. When the phone is working in the local power mode, an inline power adapter is needed (as for Version 1). When the phone is working in PoE mode, the power will be provided through the PoE Ethernet port.

CAUTION: For Version 3, there is risk of damaging the equipment if the power jumper is not set properly according to the specification from Teledex.

2.3 Unpacking the SIP LD series

The SIP LD series IP phone package contains several components:

•The main base unit, or keyset (see figure 1, page 10)

•A handset for use during conversations

•Two or three network cables for connecting the phone to the network, or a PC. The SIP LD series

has a built-in Ethernet switch, and two Ethernet ports.

•A handset coil cord, to connect the handset to the phone, or base.

•The package may also contain an optional power adapter (if necessary).

For Version2 (PoE version), no power adapter will be provided. For the Version 1 (local power version) and Version 3 (dual-power version), an inline power adapter may be provided along with the package, depending on the intended country of use. The inline power adapter provides two network ports. One is used to connect with the user’s network interface; another is for connecting with the SIP LD series.
