Installing SoundStation Premier 500D/550D
1. Insert the short Network Cable into
the 500D/550D Interface Module jack
marked with the Network icon ( ).
Plug the other end into the digital voice
jack, as shown below.
(If the connector does not fit, you will
need one of the optional RJ11 to RJ45
Network Cables for connection to the
wall jack, and for your phone should
you choose that option. This cable has
a smaller connector on one end, so try
it both ways.)
2. You have the option to install a
DEFINITY series telephone along with
your SoundStation Premier 500D/550D.
Plug the DEFINITY Telephone cable
into the jack on the 500D/550D
