(LCD images shown near actual resolution) All that is required is to establish the core network settings, like enabling DHCP or alternatively, setting the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. The basic network configuration is done using the LCD display at the initial point of boot-up. Like the SoundPoint desk phones phones there are three possible ways to configure the SoundStation IP5000 the built-in LCD display & menus, the web interface or a remote provisioning server. It’s just one of several considerations that are at heart of achieving traditional telco reliability in your IP telephony installation. is in fact a very good idea for IP phones since it allows you to sustain their operation during a power outage using a single UPS in your network closet. These were less costly than a P.O.E.-capable gigabit switch back when I was building out my network. These are inexpensive and available from a variety of sources, including Polycom.Īround my office I use a couple of mid-span P.O.E. Alternatively, a single port mid-span POE insertor could be used to power the IP5000. should not be a problem since smaller P.O.E.-capable switches are now affordable, if not yet commonplace.

It’s inconvenient in that you must consider exactly how to provide power to the phone, and possibly procure the requisite additional hardware. You need not worry about providing an AC outlet near the phones physical location, and only one cable runs to the phone. It’s convenient in that you power the phone from your network. is a double-edged sword both convenient and inconvenient. This means that 802.3af power-over-Ethernet (P.O.E.) is literally the only way to power the device. The IP5000 has only one external connector an RJ-45 jack for connection to your network. Before I could configure the SoundStation IP5000 I first had to get it powered up.
