10/100 SW
Our network-based IP phones connect to the wall using a network patch cable rather than a traditional telephone cable. The patch cable should connect the "10/100 SW" (SW for switch) connection on your IP phone to an orange network jack on a wall or pole.10/100 PC
Our IP phones also have a second network connector on the back labeled "10/100 PC" (PC for computer) which may be used to connect a computer to the network. You should not connect the 10/100 PC connector on the phone to a network outlet on a wall or a pole.Electrical Power
Most of our IP phones require a power cord with an AC adapter connected to an AC electrical outlet on a wall or a pole. A few of our IP phones are powered through their network patch cables and do not have an AC power adapter. These must be connected to a network outlet capable of supplying power through the network cable. (Most of our network outlets do not supply power.)Relocating or Disconnecting an IP Phone
If you have a black AC power adapter with your IP phone then you can relocate your phone to another network outlet within the NPS network. You can even move your phone to another site to answer your calls. Your phone registers itself with our phone servers when it powers up so our servers can direct your calls to your phone - anywhere in the district! You can not use your IP phone outside the NPS network.If you wish to relocate your IP phone you will need to take (1) your IP phone, (2) your AC power adapter and cords, and (3) your network patch cable. Some of our NPS IP phones receive power through their network cable rather than with an AC power adapter. These phones may not be relocated without assistance from the NPS District Computer Center.
