Installing i-series telephones
The Nortel Networks i-series telephones can be configured to the network by the end user or by the
administrator. If the end user is configuring the telephone, the administrator must provide the user
with the required parameters.
A maximum of 90 IP telephones, including Nortel Networks i2050 Software Phones, and H.323
devices such as NetVision handsets, can be connected on the Business Communications Manager
system.
Before installing
Before installing the i2002 or i2004 telephone, ensure that:
• the telephone has the appropriate power supply for your region
• if powered locally, the installation site has a nearby power outlet;
otherwise, it can be powered through a Power Inline Patch Panel (PiPP)
• the installation site has a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connection
• if you are using an IP telephone that does not have a 3-port switch, ensure you have 10/100
BaseT Ethernet connections for both the telephone and for your computer equipment.
Using a 3-port switch
In an office environment where a LAN network already exists, most computers will already be
connected to a LAN line. To avoid the necessity of installing duplicate network connections, you
can use a Nortel Networks 3-port switch for older model i2004 telephones. This switch allows the
telephone and computer to connect to the same network connection. For more information, consult
the i2004 and the 3-way switch documentation.
The i2002 and newer models of the i2004 telephone have an adapter in the telephone housing that
replaces the requirement for this switch.
Connecting the i2002 or i2004 telephone
Follow these steps to connect an i2002 or i2004 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.
Caution: Do not plug the telephone into an ISDN connection. This can cause severe
damage to the telephone. Plug the telephone only into a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet
connection.
