Telephone Installation Checking Telephones - Page 47
Checking Telephones It is preferable to leave connection of telephones until after installation of other IP Office equipment
and full system programming has been completed (including the set-up of directory numbers and
names). Note that by IP Office telephones we mean devices manufactured and supplied as part of
the IP Office product range and not third party telephone devices.
While installing and checking each telephone, it may also be required to do some basic telephone
programming such as setting-up call forwarding, call pickup, group numbers, etc.
The detailed instructions for setting-up these feature are contained in the Manager Application
Manual and within the Configuration Tree Help files. With the configuration tree for Administrator
open, press F1 to access the Help files.
The following instructions are the minimum required for testing and wall mounting of IP Office
telephones. Detailed instructions for testing, wall mounting and using IP Office telephones are
contained in the appropriate Installation and User Guides contained on the CD supplied with each
system.
Connecting & Testing IP Office Telephones
Use the following process to connect and check IP Office telephones.
To check a IP Office telephone :
1. Unpack the telephone and check that all parts are present including labels and user guides.
2. Insert the handset cord into the base. Route the cord thorough the cable channels to come out at
the side of the telephone.
3. Insert the line cord into the wall socket.
4. Insert the line cord into the telephone's base and route the cord thorough the cable channels to
come out at the side/rear of the telephone.
5. Lift the handset, check that you hear dial tone and make a test call to another extension.
6. On a display telephone, ensure that the display shows the number called and that the display is in
the correct language.
Note: On 44/4600 series telephones, the line cord is fitted with an RJ11 plug. In which case,
when connecting directly to an IP Office module, an RJ11/RJ45 adapter should be used.
Similarly, the structured wiring should terminate in RJ11 sockets.
Connecting & Checking Two-Wire Telephones
All two-wire devices (POTS) should be tested according to the manufacturer's instructions before
connection to the IP Office system. Connect the two-wire device and make a test call.
Power Fail Telephones and Sockets
All power fail sockets (on IP400 Analog Trunk 16 modules only – see page 31) must be tested.
To test a power fail socket :
1. Locate the socket and check that it is clearly labeled as a power fail socket.
2. Connect a telephone to the socket.
3. With power to the IP Office system switched on, make a test call.
4. Switch the power to the IP Office system off and again make a test call.
5. Switch the power to the IP Office system back on again.
6. Repeat the test for any other power fail sockets.
Note: Where E911 statuary requirements for discrete location identification of a power fail phone
are required on the transmitted CLI, ensure that the relevant installation programming is
completed.
