3.5.2 LAN Connections for SIP Extension

When an SIP Extension is connected to the LAN and power is supplied for the first time, you will be
prompted to set network parameters. The network parameters must be set for the SIP Extension before it
can be used.
Connecting an SIP Extension to a Switching Hub
When connecting an SIP Extension to the LAN, connect it to a switching hub.
Note
•
Use an Ethernet straight cable with an RJ45 connector to connect the SIP Extension to a switching
hub. The cable should be a CAT 5 (Category 5) or higher for 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX, or CAT 5e
(Enhanced Category 5) or higher for 1000BASE-T.
•
When using the VLAN feature on the network, make sure that the switching hub to be connected is
IEEE 802.1Q compliant and is configured for VLANs. In addition, the port of a switching hub that the
SIP Extension is connected to must be set to "Trunk" port, to allow VLAN tagging. Consult your
network administrator for details.
•
Since a softphone is installed and operates on a PC, the PC must be connected to the LAN to use the
softphone on the network.
The diagram below is for connecting a KX-HDV series to a switching hub. For SIP phones, refer to the
documentation of your SIP phone.

Connecting an AC Adaptor to an SIP Extension
Some SIP phones comply with the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard. If PoE is available on
your network, these SIP Extensions can receive the necessary power supply from the network through the
network cable. In this case, an AC adaptor is not needed for the SIP Extension. However, if PoE is not
available, you will need to connect an AC adaptor to the SIP Extension.
Note
Use only the specified type of AC adaptor for each SIP Extension. For details, refer to the
documentation of your SIP Extension.
