Getting Started: Installing The Telephone (Administrator May Have Done This)
Normally your Administrator may do this for you. Otherwise follow these easy steps, similar to "their"
Quick­Start Guide. If your phone comes with a Nortel Quick­Start Guide, you should use that as it is
slightly more specific than the following directions:
Unpack the phone and make sure you have all of the following pieces:
main telephone unit
–
base or "footstand" (on i200x; the 1120/1140 ship with this installed)
–
handset and curly cord for handset
–
network cable
–
AC adapter if required (see below)
–
For 1120/1140, start by opening the footstand carefully. There is a latch behind the bottom of the phone
and a release near the top of the phone. XXX explain better. Once you have this spread out, unlatch and
release the base cover (See Figure XX).
Start by routing the power cable and curly handset cable through the opening in the footstand. You
don't strictly have to do this now, but it's a one­minute job now and a very frustrating ten­minute job if
you try to do it after you've assembled the stand onto the phone, so do it now.
FIGURE routing the cables.
Some organizations will have separate voice and data networks, so be sure you plug into the correct
network port!
Your telephone set needs power, which it can get in one of two ways:
from the provided AC power adapter;
–
via "Power Over Ethernet," or POE for short. POE is more convenient because you only have one
–
cable to connect, not two. On the other hand, it requires a specially­built network connector (hub or
switch or special cabling) at the other end.
If your administrator didn't tell you which way to power your phone, try plugging the telephone into
the specified network port. If it doesn't start booting up in a few seconds (see Initial Configuration
below), then you'll know you need to use the power adapter.
If using a power adapter, make sure you have the correct one! The i200x and the
1120/1140 use very different supplies, but they have the same plug! At the very least putting the wrong
supply will not work; at worst, it may destroy the phone and/or the power supply; this could get very
expensive!
Another networking choice is whether to use the "Built­in switch". This allows your telephone and
your desktop computer to share a single network cable. In this scenario you plug the cable from your
network into the top­most network port, and the cable to your computer into the network port below it
(see figure). Be aware that some of the i200x models only provide 10/100 network speed, which is
plenty for VOIP but not so good if you have a Gigabit (10/100/1000) network in place.
