Note 1: If your home network is not configured as described in the
preceding figures, contact your system administrator for assistance.
Note 2: You cannot connect multiple PCs directly to the PC port on
the IP Phone.
Note 3: The Nortel Phone VPN Configuration Wizard requires direct
communication with the IP Phone on the network. Ensure that your
network allows devices to communicate with each other on the local
network. Some network equipment allows you to isolate devices from
each other. If you are unsure, it is recommended that you temporarily
connect your PC to the IP Phone to run the initial Nortel Phone VPN
Configuration Wizard. See

QoS configuration recommendations

Nortel recommends that you connect the PC to the IP Phones PC
Ethernet Port as the IP Phone provides Quality of Service (QoS) on
outbound traffic automatically.
If other PCs share the internet connection, then Nortel recommends that
you configure QoS for outbound traffic and prioritize the IP Phone traffic.
Typical QoS methods that are available are port based priority, MAC
Address based Priority, and IP Address based Priority. To configure
QoS, see your router documentation.
