Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP

AC power adapter or can be line-powered (power supplied through the signaling or idle pairs of the LAN Ethernet cable). Line powering typically requires that the phone plugs directly into a dedicated LAN jack. Devices that do not require LAN power can then plug into the SoundPoint IP PC Ethernet port. To disabled the PC Ethernet port, refer to Disabling PC Ethernet Port on page C-27.

SoundPoint IP Switch - Port Priorities

To help ensure good voice quality, the Ethernet switch embedded in the SoundPoint IP phones should be configured to give voice traffic emanating from the phone higher transmit priority than those from a device connected to the PC port. If not using a VLAN (VLAN set to blank in the setup menu), this will automatically be the case. If using a VLAN, ensure that the 802.1p priorities for both default and real-time transport protocol (RTP) packet types are set to 2 or greater. Otherwise, these packets will compete equally with those from the PC port. For more information, refer to Quality of Service <QOS/> on page A-55.
