Getting started

Connecting AC power (optional)

Your Avaya 1200 Series IP Deskphone supports AC power and Power over Ethernet (PoE). For AC power, use only the Avaya-approved Global Power Supply (N0146475) and the country-specific IEC cable that you can order separately. To use PoE, your connected LAN must support PoE.

1.Connect the DC barrel connector to the power jack on the back of the IP Deskphone.

2.Thread the cable through the channel in the foot stand (if installed) to secure the cable.

3.Plug the country-specific IEC cable into the Global Power Supply, and then plug the Global Power Supply into the nearest AC power outlet.

Connecting the LAN Ethernet cable

Connect your Avaya 1200 Series IP Deskphone to your LAN using a CAT5e Ethernet cable to enable full functionality of your IP Deskphone. If your Ethernet port is equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE), your IP Deskphone can be powered through the LAN port. Do not extend the LAN Ethernet cable outside the building.

1.Plug one end of the supplied LAN Ethernet cable into the LAN Ethernet port on the back of your IP Deskphone as shown in Figure 3 on page 37.

2.Thread the cable through the channel in the foot stand (if installed).

3.Connect the other end of the cable to your LAN Ethernet connection. The LAN LED on the back of the IP Deskphone lights when a LAN connection is established.

Note: When your LAN cable gets unplugged on an active IP Deskphone, your IP Deskphone LCD displays an alert message “LAN cable unplugged”.
