Power over Ethernet
With the included or a regular Ethernet cable, the T46G Skype for Business phone can be
powered from a PoE-compliant switch or hub.
To connect the PoE:
1. Connect the Ethernet cable between the Internet port on the phone and an available port
on the in-line power switch/hub.
Note
Connecting to the Network
Connect your phone to the network.
Note
If in-line power is provided, you don’t need to connect the phone to the power adapter. Make
sure the switch/hub is PoE-compliant.
Important! Do not remove power from the phone while it is updating firmware and
configurations.
The phone can also share the network with another network device such as a PC (personal
computer). This is an optional connection. For more information on this function, contact your
system administrator.
