Chapter 2: Installing

NOTE: Before you can install the phone, your system administrator must prepare the network. If a technician is
not installing your phone, verify with your System Administrator that the network is ready for the phone, read the
safety notice, and install the phone.

Assembling the Phone and Connecting to the Network

1 Find the end of the coiled phone cord that has the longer straightened end. Plug that end
into the back of the phone base (phone symbol).
2 Plug in short straightened end of the handset cord into the jack at the bottom of the handset
(not shown).
3 If you are using an external power source, push the power cord into the power supply, and
plug the power supply into the phone base unit. Use only the power supply that came with
the phone. SPA922, SPA942 and SPA962 can be configured without external power, if
connecting to an IEEE powered ethernet switch. See Linksys.com for details.
4 Plug the ethernet cable into the back of the base station. Plug the other end of the ethernet
cable into your already prepared network connection. If the phone is configured using an
optional POE (Power over Ethernet) adapter, see that device's instructions to properly set up.
5 For SPA922, SPA942 and SPA962 a second ethernet port can be used to connect a PC.
6 The AUX RJ-11 port is reserved for connection to the SPA932, designed for use with the
SPA962. It is not for use as a telephone line port. If you are installing the SPA932 expansion
