4 IP 8000 Product Information
1. Insert the Ethernet cable into the port on the underside of the phone closest to the
center; this port is marked with the LAN symbol . The exterior port is reserved for
future use. Ensure the cables are secured into the guides to avoid damage to them.
2. Insert the opposite end of the Ethernet cable into the PoE adapter or the PoE port on the
wall. If using a PoE adapter, plug the remaining end into the network port on the wall.
You must supply a power adapter that is IEEE 802.3af compliant where PoE is
unavailable.
3. The phone boots, and you are prompted to configure it the first time.
Configuring Your IP 8000 Phone

administrator password (for accessing advanced preferences), dialing options, and other
preferences. You can also change the phone name and number that appears in the phone
display.
Note: For security reasons, ShoreTel recommends you change the default
administrator password during the initial configuration.
