Wall-Mounting IP Endpoints
See the following sections for information about wall-mounting your specific endpoint type.
Model 8600 Series Endpoints
Because there are two types of bases used on the Model 8600 series endpoints, two sets of
instructions for wall-mounting the endpoints are included here. Determine which type of base
the endpoint has and follow the appropriate instructions.
For best results when wall-mounting the Model 8600 series endpoints, Inter-Tel strongly
recommends that you use the two plastic rivets shipped with the endpoint. Once installed, the
plastic rivets lock the components into place, providing additional stability for wall-mounted
endpoints.
Model 8600 series endpoints are shipped with a plastic adhesive label that covers the
rectangular wall-mount knockout on the base of the endpoint. A portion of the adhesive label
must be removed to use the wall-mount knockout.
To wall-mount the Model 8600 series endpoints, you need an industry-standard wall-mount
bracket (sometimes called a wall jack assembly) and a four-inch line cord. Both of these items
are available through the Inter-Tel CommSource division.
NOTE
Wall-mounting the Model 8600 series endpoints is not recommended if the user will
be connecting and disconnecting cords (handset, headset, line) and/or cables
(Ethernet, USB, power supply) frequently. To connect and disconnect these cords
and cables from a wall-mounted endpoint, users will need to remove the endpoint
from the wall.
