Syn248 Installation and Configuration Guide
To connect the Deskset to the network:
1. Plug a Cat.-5 Ethernet cable into the Network port on the back of the Deskset.
2. Plug the other end into an Ethernet wall jack that connects to your LAN switch.
If there is a networked computer and no extra Ethernet wall jacks near the Deskset, then
the Deskset and PC can share the same network connection.
1. Unplug the Cat.-5 Ethernet cable from your computer.
2. Plug that Cat.-5 Ethernet cable into the Network port on the back of the Deskset, as
shown below.
3. Plug another Cat.-5 Ethernet cable into the PC port on the Deskset.
4. Plug the other end of the second Cat.-5 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.
Installation

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.
