Assembling the Phone and Connecting to the Network

Perform the following steps to connect 900 Series phone.
Step 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).
Step 2
Plug in the short straightened end of the handset cord into the jack at the bottom of the handset.
Step 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.
Step 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 adapter, see the PoE device documentation for
setup instructions.
With the SPA922, SPA942, and SPA962, the second Ethernet port can be used to connect a PC.
The AUX RJ-11 port is reserved for future functionality of the SPA962. It is not for use as a
telephone line port.
