Available ports on the back of the phone

The Polycom phone has several purpose-built ports:

• The Power port is for an external AC adapter (this is optional)
• The Headset port for an external corded or cordless headset unit
• The Ethernet port is your uplink to your local network, typically includes power to the phone
• The Daisychain (or PC) port is used to daisychain your computer off the back of the phone
• The Handset port is used to connect the provided handset/receiver.

Connecting the provided Handset

1. Plug the jack closest to the straight end of the cord into the handset port on the back of the phone.
2. Thread the straight end of the cord through the channel in the phone.
3. Plug the other end of the cord into the port on the handset.

Connecting AC power adapter

If your network does not provide POE (Power over Ethernet), you will require an external AC power adapter. This will connect into the 48V port on the back of the phone and into a power source.

Connecting the phone to the network

Connect an Ethernet cable from the port with the Ethernet symbol on the back of the phone.

Connect the other end of this Ethernet cable to your network switch or Ethernet wall jack. 

Note: If you are working from home (remotely) this cable will  need to connect your phone directly to your home router.

(Optional) Connecting reception side-car

1. Plug one end of the short cord supplied with the expansion module into the Aux port on the phone.
2. Plug the other end of the short cord supplied with the expansion module into the Aux 1 port on the expansion module.
3. Insert the small metal bracket into the channels on the back of the phone. Note: the bracket only properly fits one way, if the holes don’t align, flip the bracket around.
4. Secure the metal bracket with the thumbscrews.
