– Ethernet cables (Category 5 or higher) for connecting IP phones
and computers, WAN interfaces, or other devices.
One Ethernet cable is included with the UC 540 and one cable is
included with each IP phone.
– RJ-11 cable for analog Line (FXO) and Phone (FXS) connections.
– RJ-45 (non-Ethernet) cable for ISDN (BRI) connections.
– RJ-48 cable for ISDN (PRI) T1/E1 connections (only needed if a
T1/E1 voice interface card is installed).
NOTE You can purchase the RJ-45 and RJ-48 cables from your
telephony service provider or reseller. The RJ-11 cable can be
purchased from any electronics store.
– (Optional) Cable for connecting an external audio device to the
3.5 mm Music on Hold (MoH) port.
– (Optional) Additional Voice Interface Card (VIC) to insert in the
expansion slot.
• Mounting screws for wall mount installation
– Two number-10 wood screws (round- or pan-head) with number-10
washers, or two number-10 washer-head screws.
The screws must be long enough to penetrate at least 3/4 inch (20
mm) into supporting wood or into a metal wall stud.
