Installation and Setup

The 6735i can be setup to share a network connection with another network device. Power can be provided by the
power adapter (optional accessory), or by an 802.3af compliant network power source, or with a PoE inline power
injector (optional accessory). It can also be installed on a desk or mounted on the wall. If your System Administrator has
already setup your phone, please refer to the Aastra Model 6735i IP Phone User Guide for call handling information
or contact to your System Administrator.

Direct or Shared Network Connection

The phone can be set up as a direct network connection to the Ethernet wall jack or as a shared network connection as a
pass-through if connecting a computer or another network device.

Direct Network Connection

Located at the top of the phone are two fully switched 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet cable ports. The port marked
with

LAN is used to connect the phone to the network, as well as provide power to your phone (if required). See the

section

“Connecting to the Network and to Power”

on

page 8

for more information.

Shared Network Connection

To connect a network device (such as a computer) to the phone, connect an Ethernet cable into the network port on the
top of the phone marked with

PC. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the network jack on the network device

for which you are sharing the network connection.

.

Note:

1. The PC jack on the 6735i does not supply inline power onto other network devices. All Ethernet cables used must be
minimum category 5/5e straight-through cables, such as the cable provided with your phone.

2. Category 6 straight through cables are recommended for Gigabit Ethernet performance.
