Getting Started
Whether this is your first IP phone or you are a seasoned IP professional, we're
here to help! The steps below will make your set-up process as quick and painless
as possible. You'll be making calls in no time.
Step 1: Unpack it
Remove the phone base and all of the other parts from the box. This would be a
good time to do an inventory to ensure you have all the required parts. You should
have one IP150 phone base, a telephone handset, a handset cord, a power adaptor
and a length of Ethernet cable.
Step 2: Power it Up
Attach the handset cord to the handset and to the base. Plug the power adaptor
into the back of the IP150. Choose a location for your phone that has close access
to a power outlet and a connection to your Local Area Network (LAN). Plug in the
power adaptor, and the IP150 will automatically power up.
Step 3: Connect it to your Network
The IP150 needs to be connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) in order to make
and receive calls. Plug the included Ethernet cable into the "LAN" port on the back
of the IP150, connecting the other end of that cable to your Local Area Network.
For most offices, this will mean simply plugging into the Ethernet plug on the wall
where you might plug in a PC for internet access.
Note: If there is a PC or other device already using this connection, don't worry.
There is a pass-through port on the back of the IP150. Plug the computer's Ethernet
cable into the port labeled "PC" on the back of the phone and plug the Ethernet
cable going to the network into the port labeled "LAN"
Step 4: Configuring it for Phone Calls
Once your IP150 is powered up and connected to the Local Area Network, it will
acquire an IP address. This process is automatic if your network has a DHCP server,
which most do. If you do not, please see the Network Settings Section of this
manual for instructions on how to set a static IP address.
Before you can use the IP150 to make a call, you need to set it up with your service
provider.
The IP150 supports SIP configurations:
• SIP—you can connect to a local SIP server. This is most often for
companies that have an existing SIP-based PBX that handles all VoIP
calling over the network.
The next step is called Provisioning your phone. That means taking information
from your service provider and entering it into your phone, which will give your
phone its identity and its ability to send and receive calls.
