2.4 Connectors
The LAN1 and LAN2 jacks are IP67-compliant RJ45 jacks from Phoenix Contact, which allow for a plug-in connection
to your network lines that is accessible from the outside. The package includes one RJ45 plug from Phoenix Contact
consisting of a sleeve housing and male insert, which can be installed on cat5/cat5e network lines without a special tool if
the requirements for the network line listed below are met. If you use both interfaces, the required second plug must be
ordered separately.
2.4.1 Connector versions
2.4.1.1 RJ45 plug at degree of protection IP67
Requirements for cat5[e] network line:
- External diameter ................... 5.0 mm...8.0 mm
- Core cross-section .............. 26 AWG...22 AWG
- Core insulation diameter ................... ≤ 1.6 mm
Jack Plug
The plug installation kit includes detailed instructions from Phoenix Contact on how to mount the plug and the line. The
following table illustrates the assignment of the 8-plug connectors, which essentially vary between one of the standards
TIA-568A or TIA-568B. In principle, the specic standard that is used does not matter as long as both ends of the line are
wired in the same way.

Terminal strip X1 is a terminal block in the phone’s terminal compartment and is executed with a push-in connection
system. Flexible connection wires provided with rigid connection wires or with wire-end ferrules are only to be inserted
into the conductor shaft of the terminal. In the process, the contact spring opens automatically and ensures the necessary
clamping force against the current bar. For the deinstallation or installation of very small connection wires, use a slotted
screwdriver to open the contact springs.

The connectors of the relay outputs relay 1 and relay 2 and the inputs input 1-3 are pre-wired and are led out of the device
by the cable inlets (vi), (vii) and (viii) via flexible light plastic-sheathed cables. The black individual cores of the light plastic-
sheather cables are labeled with white numbers in accordance with EN 50334. In the following connector descriptions,
the light plastic-sheathed cables to be used are identified by their cable inlets; the position of the cable inlet can be found
in Figure 1 “Housing top view and position of the wire/cable inlets (i) – (viii)” on page 8.
2.4.1.3 Connecting cables
The phone is equipped with two RJ45 jacks LAN1 (v) and LAN2 (vi), which are mounted below and on the right side of the
housing and allow for an IP67 fixed plug-in connection to your LAN connecting cables. Connect the network connecting
cable with the RJ45 jack LAN1, which in addition to data traffic processes a possible PoE infeed (Power over Ethernet) and
uses the latter to supply the phone.
RJ45 jack LAN2 is used for the optional connection of additional devices, such as a notebook computer. With the
exception of data packets directed to the phone, all other data packets on the LAN2 port are available; however, PoE is
not supported.
If you do not use LAN2, make sure that the pre-installed protective cover terminates the RJ45 jack, because otherwise
the IP protection of the device is not ensured.

Up to three buttons are to be connected to the connecting cable leading out of cable inlet (viii), which is connected with
the inputs input 1 – input 3 of the phone. As illustrated below, the buttons are to be connected between one of the inputs
input 1 [1], input 2 [2] or input 3 [3] and the frame terminal [4]. Here voltage VB drives current limited by RICL through the
actuated button. The series-connected transmitting diode of the opto-isolator then transmits the switching state of the
button, galvanically isolated, to the electronics.
The position of the cable inlets can be found in Figure 1 “- Housing top view and position of the wire/cable inlets (i) – (viii)”

- Only ES1 and PS1 classified power supplies in accordance with EN 62368-1 may be used to supply the phone.
- If you supply the phone via connectors X1.7 and X1.8, your LAN1 connecting cable must not conduct any PoE supply (Power over
Ethernet).
Attention!
- The permitted load currents of the output contacts are voltage dependent. Calculate their maximum values as indicated below by
generating the quotient of switching-voltage-dependent switch rating Pswitch(Vswitch) and switching voltage Vswitch. Furthermore,
the result must not exceed the indicated maximum value of the switching current Iswitch.
AC: ILoadMax = Sswitch(Vswitch) / Vswitch = 15 VA / 48 V = 0.312 A ILoadMax ≤ IswitchMax!
DC: ILoadMax = Pswitch(Vswitch) / Vswitch = 100 W / 48 V = 2.08 A ILoadMax ≤ IswitchMax!
- The electric circuits of the switching contacts of both relays must not be interconnected with different external conductors of an ACnetwork.

In the setting instructions of this commissioning chapter we refer to the configuration parameters to be set only with the
indication of the path Main menu\Phone settings\Headset and the On or Off values to be set. We believe that the
specific navigation, setting and saving of the parameters are sufficiently clear.
3.1.1.1 Navigation in menus
Menus allow access to the phone's various configuration parameters and status information. They appear as a list of
named elements, in which one element, the selected element, is displayed inversely. In the footer of the display, nesting
depth, menu name and continuation symbols are shown. For lists that cannot be completely displayed in the viewing area,
the latter indicate whether additional elements continue the list below , above or on both ends .
Element names that are followed by a colon indicate configuration parameters; all others are indicated by sub-menus of
the same name or action switches. The figure below illustrates the navigation to the headset configuration parameter
Main menu\Phone settings\Headset: Pressing opens the main menu, in which the selection mark is then
moved to the phone settings element by pressing the button four times. Pressing finally opens the sub-menu of
thesame name in which the headset parameter is selected.

Closes the current menu and returns to the higher-level menu level or to idle mode.
Moves the selection mark one position down onto the next element. If the last element is selected, moves the selection
mark to the rst element.
Moves the selection mark one position up onto the previous element. If the rst element is selected, moves the selection
mark onto the last element.
Opens the selected sub-menu or performs the selected action.

15 USER MANUAL FERNTEL IP4 / IP160 March 2022 www.eaton.com
Input elements are configuration parameters in which a numerical and textual value is to be entered. After the left-justified
parameter name and the colon following it, the input field follows, which is marked by a flashing insertion point (cursor)
| when selected. A small, inversely displayed box in the bottom right corner of the display indicates whether the input is
in numerical mode 1 or text mode a| A . In text mode every number key is assigned a list of characters, the individual
characters of which are inserted consecutively in the current insertion position if you press the button in rapid succession.
Pause until the insertion point (cursor) switches from the left to the right side of the last inserted character “|c” -> “c|” to
definitively adopt the character. The mode will switch to numerical mode if your character selection ends with a numerical
character or you press one of the or
#
keys. To switch to text mode, hold down a number key, e.g. the key until the
first character “|a” of the assigned list of characters is output.
3.1.1.2 Set selection parameters
Selection elements are configuration parameters for which a 1 out of N selection must be made. After the left-justified
parameter name and the comma following it, the currently selected setting value is displayed with right justification.
TheN setting values identified by name form a list that can be inspected in both directions for the selected configuration
parameter using the and/or keys to find the desired setting.
--------- Make selection ---------
Select the next value from the selection list.
Select the previous value from the selection list.
3.1.1.3 Set input parameters
-------- Make inputs ---------
Input of numerical and text characters.
Move insertion point (cursor) one character to the left.
Move insertion point (cursor) one character to the right.
Delete character before insertion point (cursor).
3.1.1.4 Save or discard modied settings
After you have changed the settings, the changes must be saved explicitly. To do this, press the menu key until the save is
confirmed or a confirmation message appears, which you can affirm by pressing or reject with the key sequence .
If you want to discard your changed settings instead, press the disconnect key instead of the menu key.

3.3 Headset control
The connected headset is controlled by default via the shift menu key sequence, with which the headset’s conversation
operating mode is activated or disabled, as illustrated by the gure below. However, the precondition for this is that the
headset mode is switched on or enabled in the main menu, which is indicated by the superimposition of the icon in the
bottom display line, to the right of the date/time display.

or
Headset enabled! Headset operation activated!
The enable check of the headset mode occurs via the selection element Main menu\Phone settings\Headset: in
the main menu, which can be switched on or off there and must be set to “On” to enable the headset mode.
In addition to the shift menu key sequence, one of the inputs input1 – input3 can be used to expand the headset control
so that the pressed button that is connected at the selected input causes the activation/deactivation of the headset mode.
To do this, in the web interface WebIp160\Device\Keypad select one of the drop-down lists input1 – input3 and
select the mode of operation “Headset, press” to use the input for expanded headset control.
3.4 Headset audio properties
Tab WebIp160\Device\Audio\ of the web interface includes the Headset Type drop-down list and two check boxes
Headset Ringing and Headset Ringing only, which can be used to set the audio properties of the headset
mode. In the drop-down list, the type of the connected headset can be selected , which is set to Imtradex/Ecom
Instruments by default. Via the two check boxes, which are switched off by default, the ring melody signal (ringing) can
be linked to the headset. For employees working in a noisy environment who use the headset as hearing protection, this
ensures that incoming calls will always be heard. Check the Headset Ringing check box if the ring melody signal (ringing)
should be played back via headset and speaker; use the Headset Ringing only,if it should be played back through
the headset alone.
3.5 Function keys Shift 0-Shift 9
The
0
-

WXYZ keys from the numeric keypad can be used in connection with the shift key to trigger configurable functions,
such as dialling a destination number. In the default setting the assigned function keys 1 – 10 are preset to "Key not
assigned" and therefore have no effect. Via the main menu Main menu\User list\n UserName\Function key\f
FctKeyNo\ open the Function key dialog shown below, in the various fields of which the desired behavior of the
function key is to be set.

3.6 Relay onboard, relay 1 and relay 2 outputs
The trigger of the outputs relay onboard, relay 1 and relay 2 can be configured to signal selected phone statuses via
connected external equipment, such as the ringing of the phone via an optical signal device. In the default setting all three
outputs are preset to “Alert on” and are therefore switched on when the phone signals an incoming call (rings). In the web
interface WepIp160\Device\Relays\Relay-Xyz select the tab to the relay and select the Working Mode drop-down
list there to define the desired triggering for the relay in question. Depending of the selected triggering, the exact mode of
operation can be specified further using additional dialog elements.
The table below shows the current status of a conguration in which all 10 numerical keys are to be assigned the dialling of
a destination number. Keys 0 and 1 have already been congured; that of the remaining numerical keys remains to be done.
3.7 Inputs input1-input3
Via inputs input1 – input3, configurable functions can be triggered, such as the dialling of a destination number or the
control of the headset conversation operating mode. In the default setting all three inputs are set to “disabled” and
therefore have no effect. In the web interface WebIp160\Device\Keypad select the drop-down lists Input1 –
Input3 to define the desired mode of operation of the input in question. Select “Headset, press” to use the input
to control the headset conversation operating mode or one of the “Function key, xxx” modes to emulate function
keys with the input. In the latter case, in the main menu Main menu\User list\n UserName\Function key\f
FctKeyNo\ the function key dialogs still need to be edited to set the desired behavior of the function keys that you
selected for the input in the web interface (see also 3.5 Function keys Shift 0-Shift 9 Page 17).
The table below shows the results of a configuration in which all three inputs trigger the dialling of a destination number
when pressing a connected key.
3.8 Test selection procedure “Immediate dial”
In the operation of the phone, two manual dialling methods are used, immediate dialling and indirect dialling, with the
former not supported by all PBXs. If your PBX does not support the immediate dial dialling method, in which every input
number is transmitted to PBX immediately, this can be remedied in the web interface. First test if there is a need for
action. To do this, lift the receiver and enter a multi-digit phone number. If the dialling fails after entering the first number
with the error message “unknown number,” the configuration parameter Enbloc Dialling Timeout [s] of the tab
WebIp160\Phone\User-1\General\ must be changed from the default value 0 to 2, for example. The set timeout of
2 s causes the phone to wait 2 s after each number is entered to determine if more numbers will follow. The collected
numbers are not sent to the PBX until 2 s after the last input number.
