I have ordered Cisco SPA 303 and am now facing a problem. I bought a phone adapter for the phone jack in the wall to connect the phone, but the manual says something about Ethernet cable etc.? Do I need to connect the phone to a modem? Do I need such a switch? I'm with UPC and the two ports for the phone on my modem are in a different format.

Hello Mona The Cisco SPA 303 is a VoIP phone. You cannot plug it directly into the wall. It has to be connected with an Ethernet cable to a router or simply to a network. Then it has to be configured with a SIP account. I don't know if UPC offers this. You can easily get this SIP data from Swisscom, for example. But you can also create a SIP account with another provider. It's similar to the e-mail address. You can be a customer of UPC, but have an e-mail from gmx, for example. The ports on your UPC modem are for "normal" analogue phones. I hope I didn't clarify too much ;) Greetings Michi
