Installation
This chapter tells you how to connect the components of the opti-
Point 300 basic telephone to one another prior to use.
Connecting the telephone to a LAN and configuring it for proper
operation are tasks of the network administrator.They are de-
scribed in the chapter entitled "Configuration and administration".
Administrators who wish to install and configure IP phone telepho-
ny devices via a web interface will find detailed informations in the
chapter entitled "The web pages".
Preparing the telephone
To connect the telephone components, proceed as follows.
●
Latch the Western plug of the handset cord in the handset
receptacle ("short" end).
●
Latch the other end of the cord in the receptacle (3) on the
bottom of the telephone ("long" end).
●
Feed the cord through the guide channel in the base unit.
● Latch the LAN cord with the eight-pin Western plug (RJ 45) in
the receptacle (2) on the bottom of the telephone, and con-
nect with LAN.
● Feed the LAN cord through the guide channel in the base unit.
The two cable ends of the handset cord are equipped
with identical four-pinWestern plugs (RJ 11).

●
Latch the four-pin (red)Western plug (RJ 11) of the power
supply unit cord in the receptacle (1) on the bottom of the tele-
phone.
●
Feed the power supply unit cord through the guide channel in
the base unit.
Integrating the telephone into the communication environment
Like all terminal equipment connected to a LAN, the optiPoint 300
basic must have an IP address assigned.The procedure for set-
ting up the network environment for the telephone is described be-
low. Note that the optiPoint 300 basic can operate with a HiPath
5500/ 5300, but this is not mandatory.
If you have any questions concerning the LAN environment or the
terminology used, contact your network administrator.
Loading the application software
When the optiPoint 300 basic telephone is connected to power, it
automatically boots up, i.e.loads and executes the application
software.During the boot phase you will see three dashes scroll-
ing across the display, from left to right:
If the boot phase cannot be completed successfully (because of
missing or defective application software), you will see:
In such a case, please ask your network administrator or call the
service.
After the boot phase, the telephone checks whether it is config-
ured to automatically load basic settings from a DHCP server.If it
is,thebootprocesscontinuesasdescribedin“HiPathsystemwith
DHCP server” on page 20. If it is not set to load settings from a
DHCP server, the boot process continues as described in “HiPath
system without DHCP server” on page 21.
The Western plugs of all cable connections must
audibly snap into place.

HiPath system with DHCP server
TheoptiPoint 300 basictelephonecomeswithfactorysettingsthat
enable it to get an IP address automatically from the DHCP serv-
er, once it is connected to a LAN.
When the settings cannot be successfully downloaded from a
DHCP server, the error message “No IP” is displayed. Press the
Service key and switch the telephone to manual IP assignment as
described in “IP assignment by DHCP”onpage 50.Then continue
as described in “HiPath system without DHCP server”on page 21.
When the settings have been received correctly, you will be asked
to make some additional settings, as shown here:
Press the
?
key (all other keys will be disabled).
You will hear a beep confirming successful completion. For five
seconds, the display will show:
After that, the telephone goes into idle mode.
You may break off initialisation at any time by pressing the
h
key.
Any settings previously entered will be cancelled, and you will be
returned to the point at which you were asked to enter the admini-
strator's PIN.
If an SNTP server is located within the HiPath environment, the te-
lephone unit will automatically get the correct date and time from
it.Otherwise, you must manually enter this information, as descri-
bed in the chapter entitled "Configuration and administration".
