HARDWARE TOPOLOGY AND INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
1. Remove the StreamLine 8-Port Switch and all accompanying accessories from the shipping container.
2. Disconnect all legacy analog/digital phones and fax machines from the RJ11 wall jacks.
Note: It is extremely important that no legacy phones be connected when you power on the
StreamLine 8-Port Switch.
3. Connect a StreamLine Dongle to the LAN jack on each IP phone (Using a CAT-5 cable). Connect the other
end of the StreamLine Dongle to the CAT-3 cable (RJ11 connectors) that is connected to wall jack.
Note: Do not locally power an IP phone while using the StreamLine Dongle.
4. Connect the CAT-3 downlink wiring, at the MDF or in the wiring closet, to the RJ11 jacks on the
StreamLine 8-Port Switch.
5. Connect the CAT-5 cable from an Uplink port to the IP PBX or network switch.
Either Uplink port 1 or Uplink Port 2 can be used to connect the StreamLine switch to the IP PBX or
network switch.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should both Uplink Ports be connected to the IP PBX
or Network switch; this could cause a network loop.
6. Use a second StreamLine 8-Port switch if more than 8 downlink ports are required to allow for downlink
port expansion.
Uplink Port 1 on the second (expansion) StreamLine 8-Port should be connected to Uplink Port 2 on the
first StreamLine 8-Port switch. Uplink Port 1 on the first StreamLine switch should be connected to the IP
PBX or the network switch. For additional details refer to the StreamLine Hardware Installation Guide
.
7. Connect the DC Power Adapter Plug to the DC Jack Located at the back of the StreamLine 8-Port switch.
