Base Station Installation
This section assumes that your network infrastructure is established and that your IP PBX
phone service has been ordered and configured for your location. For more information
about IP PBX configuration, please refer to the SIP Phone Configuration Guide.
You can power the base station using a compatible VTech power adapter (sold separately)
or using Power over Ethernet (PoE Class 2) from your network. If you are not using PoE,
install the base station near a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The base station
can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on a wall in a vertical or horizontal orientation.
To install the base station:
1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the rear of the base
station (marked by
NET), and plug the other end of the cable into your network
router or switch.
2. If the base station is not using power from a PoE-capable network router or switch:
a. Connect the supplied power adapter to the base station power jack.
b. Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall
switch.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. Use only a compatible VTech power adapter. To order a replacement power adapter,
call
1 [phone].
2. The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount
position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a
ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
