Install an Ethernet Switch
You must connect all IP devices to a Layer 2 Ethernet Switch. Hubs should
not be used. The type of Ethernet Switch required depends on the number
of IP Phones you need to install.
Small installations (under 20 phones)
• Connect the Ethernet Switch to the SX-200 ICP Controller Ethernet
Port with an Ethernet cable.
The Ethernet port on the Controller is auto-sensing, allowing you to
use a crossover or straight-through cable.
• Connect the Ethernet Switch power cord to a power source.
Important: Careful planning is essential when installing the
SX-200 ICP for voice and data. For planning information, including
a pre- installation questionnaire, see Chapter 4, Advanced
Installation and Programming.
