Introduction

SD Memory Card Recording
Phone calls and voice memos can be recorded to, and played back from, a compatible SD memory card (see
page 39).
PoE (Power over Ethernet) Ready
The unit is compliant with PoE (IEEE 802.3af) standards, and contains a power receiving device that enables
it to receive power from the same Ethernet cable used for IP network connection. This allows you to use the
unit in locations where there is no AC outlet nearby, saving you the cost of installing a new AC outlet. PoE
connection requires a PoE-compliant hub or similar device. The included AC adaptor can be used instead of
a PoE connection if you want to connect the unit to a standard AC outlet.
Conferencing Phone Manager Software Features
The unit can be used in conjunction with Conferencing Phone Manager. This software can be found on the
included CD-ROM, and allows you to operate and program the unit using a computer (see page 57).
