Connecting Network and Power Sources
There are two ways to connect your phone to the network and a power source.
Your system administrator can tell you which of the following methods best
suits your teleconferencing needs:
• Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• AC Power
Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet is the default connection for your phone.
Note
Generally, your phone will be deployed with multiple other phones. In this case,
your system administrator will configure the phone parameters beforehand, so that
after you set up your phone, the phone will be registered and ready to use.
If your phone is not part of a large phone deployment, your phone may not be
registered after you set it up. Before you use your phone, you or your system
administrator will have to register it.
For detailed information on how to register your phone after you install it, see
Registering Standalone SoundPoint IP, SoundStation IP, and Polycom VVX 1500
Phones (Quick Tip 44011), available from the Technical Notifications & Feature
Profiles Support Web page.
Note
To obtain microphones, see your Polycom reseller.
Note
AC power adapters are not included in the PoE package. If you require one, see
your system administrator.
