Figure 3 on page 31 shows the connections on the back of the IP Phone.

2.Thread the cord through the channel in the side of the foot stand.

3.Set up the headset according to the headset instructions.

Connecting the power (optional)

Your IP Phone supports AC power and Power over Ethernet (PoE). For AC power, use only the Nortel-approved Global Power Supply (N0146475) and the country-specific IEC cable that you can order separately. To use PoE, your connected LAN must support PoE.

CAUTION

Use your IP Phone 1210 with the approved Nortel AC Adapter (model #N0089601).

Note: Your IP Phone 1210 supports AC power and PoE options, including IEEE 802.3 standard power. To use local AC power, you can order the optional AC adapter separately. To use PoE, where power is delivered over the CAT5 cable, the LAN must support PoE, and you do not require an AC adapter.

1.Connect the DC barrel connector to the power jack on the back of the IP Phone.

2.Thread the cable through the channel in the foot stand to secure the cable.

3.Plug the country-specific IEC cable into the Global Power Supply, and then plug the Global Power Supply into the nearest AC power outlet.

Installing your IP Phone 1210

Connecting the LAN Ethernet cable

Note: Your IP Phone 1210 supports both AC power and PoE options, including IEEE 802.3 standard power. To use local AC power, you can order separately the optional AC adapter. To use PoE, where power is delivered over the CAT5 cable, the LAN must support PoE, and you do not need an AC adapter.

Connect your IP Phone to your LAN using a CAT5e Ethernet cable to enable full functionality of your IP Phone. If your Ethernet port is equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE), your IP Phone can be powered through the LAN port. Do not extend the LAN Ethernet cable outside the building.

1.Plug one end of the supplied LAN Ethernet cable into the LAN Ethernet port on the back of your IP Phone marked with the % symbol.

2.Thread the cable through the channel in the foot stand.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to your LAN Ethernet connection. The LAN LED on the back of the IP Phone lights when a LAN connection is established.

Figure 3 on page 31 shows the connections on the back of the IP Phone.

Connecting the PC Ethernet cable

Connect the CAT5e PC Ethernet cable between your IP Phone and your computer to enable your computer to access the LAN.

1.Plug one end of the PC Ethernet cable (not supplied) into the PC Ethernet port on the back of your IP Phone marked with the ( symbol.

2.Thread the cable through the channel in the foot stand.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to the LAN port on your computer.

34

Installing your IP Phone 1210

Wall-mounting the IP Phone (optional)

You can install your IP Phone on a wall. Wall-mount the IP Phone using the two keyholes on the back of the IP Phone. You do not need the foot stand for wall-mounted applications.

1.Remove the foot stand.

2.Ensure all cables are properly routed and the IP Phone is functioning.

3.Make small marks on the wall where you want to align each keyhole slot.

4.Insert the screws (not provided) so that they protrude slightly from the wall.

A successful logon transfers all the features, time, date, and tones of your Office IP Phone to your Remote IP Phone. Your Virtual Office session expires after a fixed period of time, which your system administrator determines.

Using Virtual Office on your remote IP Phone

The display characteristics, including size of the display area, differ with IP Phone models. Your Virtual Office display depends on the remote phone that you use to log on to your Virtual Office. All features are as they appear on your Office IP Phone 1210.

An IP Phone 1120E, that is logged on as a remote phone to an IP Phone 1210 Office phone, provides less information than the IP Phone 1210 because it has fewer display lines.

When an IP Softphone 2050 logs on as a remote phone to an IP Phone 1210 office phone, the information display is arranged differently, but all the information is visible at one time.

Regardless of the IP Phone model that you use as a remote phone, a user information line appears that lists the number of your Office IP Phone.

Using Virtual Office on your office IP Phone

When activated for Virtual Office by a remote IP Phone, your office IP Phone logs off and is no longer operational. When you return to the office, disconnect the remote logon and regain control of your office phone. If you do not explicitly disconnect the remote logon, your Virtual Office session expires after a fixed period of time, which your system administrator determines.

Note: Consult your system administrator to verify if the Virtual Office feature is available for your use.
