Additional Hardware Requirements

Ensure that the appropriate circuit pack(s) are administered on your media server. See the media server’s hardware guide for more detail.

A Category 5e LAN. If the telephones are to be powered from the LAN, the power supply must be designed to the IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard for LAN powering.

Electrical power provided to each phone by one of the following two sources:

-A Telephone Power Module, also called the DC power jack. You must order this module separately, except for the 4630 and the 4690 phones. The 4630 comes with its own power brick and the 4690 has its own power interface module. The 4630SW does not come with a power brick. For the 4630SW, you must order the power brick separately if LAN powering will not be used for that particular telephone model.

-IEEE 802.3af-2003, if the LAN supports this powering scheme. Note that the 4630 and 4690 cannot be powered this way, but the 4630SW can be powered this way.
