Synapse Installation Guide 21 Deskset Installation
 To connect the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Deskset:
 With a PC:
If there is a networked computer and no extra Ethernet wall jacks near the
Deskset, then plug the PC Ethernet cable into the Deskset so the Deskset and
PC share the same network connection.
1. Unplug the RJ-45 Ethernet cable from your computer.
2. Plug that RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the Network port on the back of the
Deskset, as indicated in Figure 23.
3. Plug another RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the PC port on the Deskset.
4. Plug the other end of the second RJ-45 Ethernet cable into your computer.
 If a GigE network is being used, a computer connected through the
Deskset will be limited to 100 Mbits/s. If you require a GigE Ethernet rate, use separate Ethernet connections for the
Deskset and the computer so that the computer can take advantage of the greater bandwidth.
 If a PC is connected to your LAN through a Deskset, any Deskset resets and power or network interruptions will disrupt
the PC’s connection to the network.
Network PC
Figure 23. Network Connections
The PC port on the Deskset is intended for connection to an end-user PC only.
 Do not use the PC port to connect to a PC with a heavy bandwidth load (such as a network
server PC or a hub, switch, or router).
 Do not use the PC port to extend the network. The end-user PC should be the final point. Do not use the PC
port to connect to other system devices.
