Getting Started

Power over Ethernet

Using a regular Ethernet cable, the SIP-T42G IP phone can be powered from a PoE (IEEE

802.3af) compliant switch or hub.

To connect the PoE:

1. Connect the Ethernet cable between the Internet port on the phone and an

available port on the in-line power switch/hub.

Note

Phone Initialization

After your phone has been powered on, the system boots up and performs the

following steps:

Automatic Phone Initialization

The phone finishes the initialization process by loading the saved configuration. The

phone LCD screen will display "Initializing…Please wait" during the initialization.

If in-line power is provided, you don’t need to connect the AC adapter. Make sure the

Ethernet cable and switch/hub is PoE compliant.

The phone can also share the network with other network devices such as a PC

(personal computer). It is an optional connection.

Important! Do not unplug or remove power to the phone while it is updating firmware

and configurations.
