Installation And Setup; Direct Or Shared Network Connection - Aastra 6757i Installation Manual

Installation and Setup

The 6757i can be setup to share a network connection with another network device. Power can be provided by an AC
adapter, an 802.3af compliant network power source or with a PoE inline power injector (optional accessory). It can also
be installed on a desk or mounted on the wall. If your Network Administrator has already setup your phone, please refer
to the Aastra 6757i IP Phone User Guide (if provided) for call handling information or contact your Network Adminis-
trator.

Direct or Shared Network Connection

The phone can be set up as a direct network connection to the Ethernet wall jack or as a shared network connection as a
pass-through if connecting a computer or another network device to the phone.
Direct Network Connection
Located at the top of the phone are two fully switched 10/100 Mbps Ethernet cable ports. The port marked with
LAN is used to connect the phone to the network, as well as provide power to your phone (if required). See the section
"Connecting to the Network and to Power"
Network Jack
(if Inline power provided,
do not install the power adapter)
Shared Network Connection
To connect a network device (such as a computer) to the phone, connect an Ethernet cable into the network port on the
top of the phone marked PC. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the network port on the network device with
which you are sharing the network connection.
Note:
The PC jack on the 6757i does not supply inline power onto other network devices. All Ethernet cables used must be
minimum category 5/5e straight-through cables, such as the cable provided with your phone.
