Installing and Configuring i2004 Internet Telephones
The telephone can be configured by the end user or by the administrator. If the end user is
configuring the telephone, the administrator must provide the user with parameters to configure.
A maximum of 90 IP telephones, softphones and H.323 units can be connected on the Business
Communications Manager system.
Before Installing
Before installing the i2004 telephone, ensure that:
• the installation site has a 120V AC (60 Hz) outlet
• the installation site has a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connection
• If you are not using the 3-port switch, you must have an additional 10/100 BaseT Ethernet
connection connecting you to the local Ethernet.
Using a 3-port switch
In an office environment where a LAN network already exists, most computers will already be
connected to a LAN line. Using the Nortel Networks 3-port switch, the i2004 phone can be
installed on the network along with the computer, without needing to add an extra cable to a hub.
For more information, consult the i2004 documentation.
Connecting the i2004 Internet telephone
To connect the i2004 Internet telephone:
1 Connect one end of the handset cord to the handset jack on the telephone base. Connect the
other end of the handset cord to the handset.
2 Connect one end of a Cat-5 line cordwith RJ45 connectors to the line cord jack on the
telephone base. Connect the other end of the line cord to the Ethernet connection.
3 Plug the AC Power adapter into the base of the telephone, and plug the adapter into the AC
outlet.
Caution: Do not plug the telephone into an ISDN connection. This can cause
severe damage to the telephone. Plug the telephone into only a 10/100 BaseT
Ethernet connection
