for information on configuring and using the Telco-50 cable to

connect the P-2024 to your telephones or a Main Distribution Frame (MDF).

2 Use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the LAN port.
3 Use another Ethernet cable to connect your switch or router to the WAN port.
4 Connect a suitable power source to the AC INPUT power socket using the included

power cable. Turn on the power.

5 Look at the LEDs on the P-2024.

The 1 ~ 24 analog phone port LEDs flash during startup. Once the P-2024 has started up
successfully:

• If an analog phone is connected to a port, the port’s LED blinks when the phone is

off-hook.

• If an analog phone port has a registered SIP account assigned to it, the port’s LED

stays steady on. The LED blinks when a call is incoming on the SIP account, even if
no phone is connected.

The PWR/STATUS LED turns steady on when the P-2024 has started up successfully.
