2. Setup Guide
Follow these steps to set up your Fanvil H2U IP Phone:
- Unpack the Box: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. You should find the Fanvil H2U phone unit and a coiled handset cord. Note: A power adapter is not typically included and may need to be purchased separately if PoE is not available.
- Connect the Handset: Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the port labeled with a handset icon on the side of the phone unit. Plug the other end into the corresponding port on the handset.
- Connect to Network/Power:
- Using PoE (Power over Ethernet): Connect an Ethernet cable from your PoE-enabled network switch or router to the LAN port on the back of the phone. The phone will receive both power and network connectivity through this single cable.
- Using a Power Adapter (if PoE is not available): Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the LAN port on the back of the phone. Then, connect a compatible 5V/1A DC power adapter (not included) to the power port on the back of the phone and plug it into a power outlet.
- Placement: The Fanvil H2U can be placed on a desk or mounted on a wall. For wall mounting, use the integrated mounting holes on the back of the phone. Ensure the phone is placed in a stable location with good ventilation.
