Installation and Maintenance Manual
Initial Considerations
Power is supplied by Power over Ethernet (PoE) which can be provided via an Intelligent Gateway
Module PSU (PoE4), third party PoE switch or via a PoE LAN port available on a 5100 and 5018 Call
Server or 5300 Phone Module.
On initial installation the I208/I230 will request its IP address via a DHCP server.
Powering up an I208/I230
1 Connect the I208/I230 to the system via the LINK port on the front of the module. This can be
either via the network or directly to a LAN port on a 5100/5018 Call Server or Phone Module.
2 The module will request an IP address from a DHCP server. It will make 4 attempts and then back
off for a period before trying again. The back off period will extend for each failed attempt. The
right LED (yellow) on the LINK port will toggle on/off every 5 seconds while waiting for an IP
Address.
3 Having obtained an IP address (the right LED on the LINK port turns off) the module broadcasts to
find a Call Server to provide its configuration and become active.
4 The right hand LED of the LINK port will turn on and become solid when the module is ready.
