Eight-line VoIP desk phone
The ShoreTel 480 is a wired IP phone that supports eight simultaneous line appearances for busy office environments. It connects through a single network drop using the integrated 10/100 Ethernet switch to share the link with a desktop PC. Power is supplied over the RJ-45 port via PoE, so no separate adapter is required. A built-in speakerphone enables hands-free calls.
Suited for SIP-based desk deployments
This model suits businesses that run SIP, DHCP and SNTP on a cabled LAN and need a black handset with caller ID and visual voicemail. Offices without PoE infrastructure, or teams that require Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, should consider a different solution. The two RJ-45 ports limit expansion to one additional wired device.
10/100 Ethernet switch decides fit
The integrated switch operates at 10/100 speeds, so the phone will not pass gigabit traffic to the attached PC. If the network backbone runs at gigabit and the workstation needs that throughput, a separate switch port or a phone with gigabit passthrough is necessary. Weighing 1.62 lb, the unit sits securely on a desk.

Questions about this item
How much power does the ShoreTel 480 draw over its PoE RJ-45 port when running all day?
The phone is powered through the PoE RJ-45 port, drawing power from the network switch so no separate power adapter is needed for continuous operation.
What network infrastructure must already be in place for the ShoreTel 480 to function?
A PoE-capable network switch and a SIP-based VoIP server or hosted PBX are required; the phone connects via its two RJ-45 ports using standard Ethernet cabling.
Can I keep using my existing analogue handset or fax machine alongside the ShoreTel 480?
The 480 is a pure SIP VoIP endpoint with dual RJ-45 ports for LAN and PC pass-through; it has no analogue FXS ports, so legacy analogue devices cannot connect directly to it.
