Step 1 - Determine how many Ethernet cables you have in the back of your phone. It may look like Image 1 or Image 2.
Step 2 - Look at the ethernet jacks on your New Avaya Phone.
If your old phone has two ethernet jacks (image 2), your new phone will not have the rubber plug shown in image 3.
Step 3 – Take your old phone’s ethernet cables/s and plug them into your new phone.
If you have one ethernet cable – your cable will go into the only open ethernet port. It should look like Image 4 when plugged in.
If you have two ethernet cables – like in image 5, you will insert them in like image 6. Match them as shown.
Step 4 – If placed correctly, the red light on the top right of the phone will light up red and the phone will begin booting (Image 7).
If this does not light up, double-check your cables are matching either image 4 or image 6. The light will only be red for a short amount of time.
