Connecting the network cable
To make calls via VoIP, your phone must have Internet access. This connection is established
in the local network via a gateway.
You connect your phone to the same local network as the gateway. See the Using the phone
in different scenarios section on page 11 for an overview of the different options.
§§1§§ Attach one end of the Ethernet cable supplied to the right-hand LAN port on the
rear of the phone.
§§2§§ Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to a LAN port on your network Ether-
net switch or on the router itself.
An Ethernet cable is not required if you connect your phone to the local network using WLAN.
However, we recommend that you use a cable the first time you establish a connection.
Warning
If you connect your Gigaset DE900 IP PRO to a PoE-capable Ethernet switch (PoE class
IEEE802.3af), it will be supplied with power via PoE (Power over Ethernet). The PoE network
must not exceed the premises boundaries.
