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.

-1 telephone set.

-1 telephone handset. Note that the 4622SW and the 4690 telephones do not come with handsets.

-1 H4DU 4-conductor coiled handset cord that is 9 feet long when extended, plugged into the telephone and the handset. The handset cord for the 4601 and 4601+ is 6 feet long. Not applicable for the 4622SW and 4690 IP Conference Telephones.

-1 Category 5 modular line cord for the connection from the IP telephone to the Ethernet wall jack.

-4600 Series IP Telephone Safety Instructions (555-233-779).

-Power Interface Module for the 4690 IP Conference Telephone only.

-Power Brick for 4630 IP Telephones only.

-Stylus for 4630/4630SW IP Telephones only.

You might need a Category 5e modular line cord for the connection from the 4600 Series IP Telephone to the PC.
