IP Telephony Configuration Guide
The i2001, i2002, and newer models of the i2004 telephone have an adapter in the telephone
housing that replaces the requirement for this switch.
Connecting the i200X telephones
Follow these steps to connect a Nortel IP i200X telephone:
1 Connect one end of the handset cord to the handset jack on the telephone base.
2 Connect the other end of the handset cord to the handset.
3 Connect one end of a Cat-5 line cord with RJ45 connectors to the line cord jack on the
telephone base.
4 Connect the other end of the line cord to the Ethernet connection or to the 3-way switch
connector.
Note: Newer i200X terminals have a 3-way switch built into the telephone. Refer to the
installation card that comes with the telephone for specific connection directions.
5 Plug the AC Power adapter into the base of the telephone, and then plug the adapter into the
AC outlet.
Once the telephone is connected, refer to “Configuring the i20XX telephones to the system” .
Configuring the i20XX telephones to the system
Configuring Nortel IP telephones involves two processes:
• If DHCP (Distributed Host Control Protocol) service on the Business Communications
Manager is active or the Customer DHCP server has been configured to hand out the specific
Business Communications Manager details, the IP telephone will automatically attempt to find
the server. Refer to “Configuring DHCP” on page 53, which describes the specific DHCP
requirements for IP telephones, and to the Programming Operations Guide, which provides
detailed DHCP configuration information.
After you register the telephone to the system, as described in “Registering the telephone to
the system”, the telephone assumes the parameters it receives from the system, which are
described in “Configuring telephone settings”.
• If DHCP is not configured to provide system information, or if you are not using DHCP on
your network, you need to configure your telephone parameters before the telephone can
register to the system. In this case, follow the directions in “Configuring telephone settings”,
and then follow any of the prompts that appear, as described in “Registering the telephone to
the system”.
