Chapter 2: Installing
NOTE: Before you can install the phone, your system administrator must prepare the network. If a technician is
not installing your phone, verify with your System Administrator that the network is ready for the phone, read the
safety notice, and install the phone.
Assembling the Phone and Connecting to the Network
1 Find the end of the coiled phone cord that has the longer straightened end. Plug that end into the back of the
phone base (phone symbol).
2 Plug in short straightened end of the handset cord into the jack at the bottom of the handset (not shown).
3 If you are using an external power source, push the power cord into the power supply, and plug the power
supply into the phone base unit. Use only the power supply that came with the phone. SPA922 &SPA942 can
be configured without external power, if connecting to an IEEE powered ethernet switch. See Linksys.com for
details.
4 Plug the ethernet cable into the back of the base station. Plug the other end of the ethernet cable into your
already prepared network connection. If the phone is configured using an optional POE (Power of Ethernet)
adapter, see that device’s instructions to properly set up.
