Connecting Your Phone to the Network

The phone can be connected to the network by using a Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable or through a wireless network connection.

Connecting Your Phone to the Wired Network

To connect the phone by using an Ethernet cable:

STEP 1 Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the network port on the RJ-45 phone port marked “SW.”

STEP 2 Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into the device, such as a switch.

Connecting the Phone to the Wireless Network

You can use a wireless device, such as a Cisco Wireless-N Bridge for Phone Adapters (WNBP), to connect the IP phone to a wireless network. This example procedure requires the Cisco PA100 power adapter to provide power to the Cisco WNBP. Cisco does not recommend connecting a PC to the network by using the phone when it is operating wirelessly.

To connect your phone to the Cisco WNBP:

STEP 1 Configure the Cisco WNBP by using the Setup Wizard.

STEP 2 When instructed to do so by the Setup Wizard, insert the Ethernet cable of the wireless bridge into the RJ-45 phone port marked SW, located on the back of the IP phone base station.

STEP 3 Connect the power cable of the Cisco WNBP to the power port on the phone base.

STEP 4 Connect one end of the IP phone power adapter into the power port of the wireless bridge.

STEP 5 Connect the other end of the IP phone power adapter into an electrical outlet.
