Connecting the IP Proprietary Telephones

When an IP-PT is connected to the LAN and power is supplied for the first time, you will be prompted to set
network parameters. The network parameters must be set for the IP-PT before it can be used. Refer to "4.2
Programming the IP Proprietary Telephone" for instructions.
Note
The connection example shown here is for the KX-NT136 IP-PT.
Connecting an IP-PT to a Switching Hub
When connecting an IP-PT to the LAN, connect it to a switching hub.
Notes
• Use an Ethernet straight cable with an RJ45 connector to connect the IP-PT to a switching hub.
The cable should be a 100BASE-TX CAT 5 (Category 5) or higher cable.
• When using the VLAN feature on the network, make sure that the switching hub to be connected
is IEEE 802.1Q compliant and is configured for VLANs. In addition, the port of a switching hub that
the IP-PT is connected to must be set to "Trunk" port, to allow VLAN tagging. Consult your network
administrator for details.
