Installing Your Phone Connecting Your Phone to the Network 2 Connecting Your Phone to the Network The phone can be connected to the network by using a Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable or through a wireless network connection. Connecting Your Phone to the Wired Network To connect the phone by using an Ethernet cable: STEP 1 Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the network port on the RJ-45 phone port marked "SW." STEP 2 Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into the device, such as a switch. Connecting the Phone to the Wireless Network You can use a wireless device, such as a Cisco Wireless-N Bridge for Phone Adapters (WNBP), to connect the IP phone to a wireless network. This example procedure requires the Cisco PA100 power adapter to provide power to the Cisco WNBP. Cisco does not recommend connecting a PC to the network by using the phone when it is operating wirelessly. To connect your phone to the Cisco WNBP: STEP 1 Configure the Cisco WNBP by using the Setup Wizard. STEP 2 When instructed to do so by the Setup Wizard, insert the Ethernet cable of the wireless bridge into the RJ-45 phone port marked SW, located on the back of the IP phone base station. STEP 3 Connect the power cable of the Cisco WNBP to the power port on the phone base. STEP 4 Connect one end of the IP phone power adapter into the power port of the wireless bridge. STEP 5 Connect the other end of the IP phone power adapter into an electrical outlet. Cisco Small Business SPA50X and SPA51X Series SIP IP Phone User Guide 20
