Cisco IP Phone 6821 Multiplatform Phones Connections
Connect your phone to your LAN with an Ethernet cable to enable full functionality of your phone. If your
Ethernet port is equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE), you can power the phone through the LAN port.
If you don't have PoE available, then you need to use a power adapter to power the phone. Do not extend the
Ethernet cable outside the building. For your phone to work, it must be connected to the IP telephony network.
