Connect one end of the CAT5e Ethernet cable to the LAN

Ethernet port located on the back of the IP Phone (identified

with a LAN icon) and the other end to the IP network. Insert

one end of a second CAT5e Ethernet cable into the PC

The LAN Ethernet port supports Auto-Media Dependent Interface

Crossover (MDIX). Auto-MDIX is supported only when the

Ethernet port is configured for autonegotiation. The PC Port

does not support Auto-MDIX.
