Connecting VoIP End Devices
This section describes how to connect different VoIP end devices to the Ethernet port.
Warning: Touching voltage-carrying conductors or
telephone connections may cause a life-threatening
electric shock.
The PBX contains hazardous voltages, even out-
side of the power supply unit (for instance ringer
voltages). Work on active, contact-hazardous
parts is only permitted after creating a voltage-
free state.
Working close to active parts is only permitted if
these parts are voltage-free or are protected
against direct contact.
Casing variants for wall mounting: Pull out the
power plug of the PBX before commissioning a
skilled electrician to open the casing to install the
expansion module or perform switching or con-
necting services.
Connecting VoIP End Devices to the Ethernet Port
Important: If you would like to integrate the PBX into
an existing network, please contact the system
administrator responsible for this. Making changes to
an existing network may cause considerable
malfunctions. In addition, please note the PBX factory
settings for the Ethernet configuration described on
Page
58.
Requirements
– Single switch or existing network (LAN) with the fol-
lowing characteristics:
Data transmission rate 100 Mbit/s
Note: For VoIP data communication in combination
with the transmission of limited amounts of data, a
data transmission rate in the LAN of 10 Mbit/s is
sufficient under certain circumstances. For VoIP data
communication in combination with the transmission
of large amounts of data (for example, downloads),
we recommend upgrading to a data transmission rate
of 100 Mbit/s. For this purpose, replace not only all of
the active network components (for example, the
switch and router) but also all of the passive network
components (for example, cables and wall sockets).
For reliable support of 100 Mbit/s, you need cables
and wall sockets of at least Category 5 (CAT5).
To use DiffServ to prioritize speech packets:
DiffServ support on all active network components
available and enabled
Note: When using a switch with PoE function, a
separate power supply (for example, via a power
plug) is not normally required for connected VoIP
telephones.
– Patch cable

If available, also disconnect the devices from
auxiliary power sources (for example, UPS).
Important: Improper use may cause, for example,
functional restrictions or interference, the destruction
of the device or, in a worst case scenario, personal
injury.
Only connect equipment that is compatible with
the intended use of the PBX.
Note: For 19" casing variants, no connections are
made directly to the module itself but rather via the
connector panel on the front panel. The socket
assignments on the front panel are described as of
Page
33.
Steps to Take
1.
Insert the end of the cable into the Ethernet socket on
the end device.
2.
Insert the other end of the cable into the output socket
on the switch or into an existing network outlet.
Further Steps
To finish commissioning, set up an internal phone
number for each end device in the COMset
configuration manager.
