that can be used with phone systems and service providers. This user guide provides detailed information

the phone with a TalkSwitch phone system.

REQUIREMENTS

SIP based phone system such as the TalkSwitch® series of phone systems or a VoIP service provider 
account.

Ethernet or fast Ethernet network for connection (10/100 Mbps)

Power  Source

For Ethernet networks that supply in-line power:

The network devices must conform to IEEE 802.3af specifications for PoE (Power over Ethernet). 
Most PoE switches should be able to power up the phones since they draw less than 6 watts.

For Ethernet networks that 

do not

 supply power to the phone:

Use only the TS-350i/TS-550i power supply designed for the region you intend to use the product. 
This adapter is rated with an output of 48v DC at 0.3 A and a positive tip.
