Installation and Setup
The 6731i IP Phone can be setup to share a network connection with another network device. Power can be provided by
the power adapter (sold separately), or by an 802.3af compliant network power source, or with a PoE inline power injector
(optional accessory). If your System Administrator has already setup your phone, please refer to the Aastra Model 6731i IP
Phone User Guide for call handling information or contact your System Administrator.
Direct or Shared Network Connection
The phone can be set up as a direct network connection to the Ethernet wall jack or as a shared network connection as a
pass-through if connecting the phone to a computer or another network device.
Direct Network Connection
Located at the top of the phone are two fully switched 10/100 BaseT Ethernet cable ports. The port marked with LAN is
used to connect the phone to the network, as well as provide power to your phone (if required). See “Connecting to the
Network and to Power” on page 8 for more information.
Shared Network Connection
To connect a network device (such as a computer) to the phone, connect an Ethernet cable into the network port on the
top of the phone marked with PC. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the network jack on the network device
for which you are sharing the network connection.
Notes:
The PC jack on the 6731i IP Phone does not supply inline power onto other network devices. All Ethernet cables used
must be minimum category 5/5e straight-through cables, such as the cable provided with your phone.

The desk installation for the 6731i IP phone consists of two legs that attach to the back of the phone near the top corners.
A total of four different viewing angles allows users to personalize their phone viewing preference.
1. Attach each leg by inserting the tabs on the leg into the slots on the bottom of the phone. There are three pair of leg
slots on each corner of the phone; each leg uses two pairs (1&2, or 2&3) giving two leg positions designating different
viewing angles. Furthermore, the legs can be reversed which offer two additional viewing angles.
2. For a higher viewing angle, use the second and third slots from the top.
3. For a lower viewing angle, use the first and second slots from the top.
4. Push the stand towards the phone until it snaps into place.

Installation and Setup
Wall Mount Holes
Install on the Wall
The 6731i IP phone has two pre-drilled wall mounting holes on the back of the phone.
1. Using the provided wall mount drilling template, locate and mark the position for the mounting screws on the wall.
Depending on the wall type, you may need to use wall anchors. Both the screws and wall anchors are included with
your phone.
2. Place the wall mount holes on the phone over the screw heads on the wall and pull down to lock the phone in.
Note:
You may wish to purchase a short Ethernet cable from a local supplier for a wall installation. Also, if 802.3af compliant in-line power is not provided on your network, and you are installing the 6731i on a wall using a PoE in-line
power injector, you may also wish to use an equivalent flat Ethernet cable rather than the one provided.
3. In the handset cradle, there is a small clip that sits flush with the cradle surface. Using a small flathead screwdriver,
pull the clip up and remove it from the phone.
4. With the arms on the clip facing you and the flat side of the clip towards the phone, turn the clip 180 degrees and
reinsert it back into the clip cavity in the phone’s cradle.

Troubleshooting Solutions
Troubleshooting Solutions
Why is the light not coming on with a new Voice Mail Message?
Your phone system or service provider must provide “ Visual” Message Waiting service for this function to work. Check
with your system administrator for more information.
Why is my handset not working?
Check to ensure that the handset cord is fully connected to both the phone and handset. See the section “Connecting a
Handset” on page 10 for information.
Why is my display blank?
Ensure that power is being provided to your phone. If your Network does not provide Inline power over Ethernet, you can
obtain an additional accessory, the a PoE inline power injector, to provide power over Ethernet locally to your phone.
See the section “Connecting to the Network and to Power” on page 8 for details.
Why can I only see one option when the installation guide or user guide says there are more?
The telephone screen will only show one option at a time. To see more, press the down arrow button 2.
Why does the telephone wobble?
Make sure the cords are routed properly through the back of the phone, as indicated in the section, “Connecting a Hand-
set” on page 10. Check that the leg stands have been properly snapped into place. Since the legs can be oriented in two
different ways and in two different positions to offer four different phone viewing angles, check that both legs are oriented
in the same direction and in the same position on either side of the phone.
What is a programmable key?
There are 8 top hard keys (programmable up to 8 functions), located at the top of the front panel. These are keys that you
can set to perform specific functions and access enhanced services provided by third parties (for example, XML applications). See the section “Line/Call Appearance Keys” on page 18 or refer to your Aastra Model 6731i IP Phone User Guide
for more information.
