3.1 Connecting the MPR/IP-EXT16 Card to the LAN

3.1 Connecting the MPR/IP-EXT16 Card to the LAN
Refer to the following example to connect the MPR/IP-EXT16 card to the LAN.
When MPR/IP-EXT16 cards are connected to the LAN for the first time, you must assign IP addressing
information to them. Refer to "4.3 Programming the MPR Card" or "4.4 Programming the IP-EXT16 Card
(KX-TDE series only)" for instructions respectively.
Note
•
The IP-EXT16 card is not available for KX-NCP series PBXs.
•
Use an Ethernet straight cable with an RJ45 connector to connect the card to a switching hub. The
cable should be a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX CAT 5 (Category 5) or higher cable.
•
Before connecting the card, attach the included ferrite core to the cable.
•
Make sure to set the port of the switching hub that connects to the card to operate under "Auto
Negotiation" mode.
•
When using the VLAN feature on the network, make sure that the card is connected to a layer 2 switch
that is IEEE 802.1Q compliant, and that is configured for VLANs. In addition, the port of the switching
hub to which the card is connected must be set to "Untagged". Consult your network administrator for
details.
•
To use a KX-NT265 with an IP-EXT16 card, make sure that the Local Processor (LPR) software of the
