The phone can be powered by connecting your phone to an Ethernet switch that
provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) or you can use an optional Cisco PA100 power
adapter.
A phone is connected to the network through an Ethernet connection or the built-in
Wireless-G radio. If you are using the Wireless-G connection, a Cisco PA100
power adapter is required. The phone provides an additional Ethernet port that
allows a computer to be connected to the network through the phone. (We
recommend that if a PC is connected to the network through the phone, that the
phone be connected to the network only by using the wired Ethernet connection).
The Cisco SPA525G and Cisco SPA525G2 have 320 x 240 color, 3.2-inch LCD
screens and can manage up to five telephone extensions. They also provide
