Procedure
Step 1 Choose the power source for the phone:
• Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• External power supply
Determines how the phone receives power. For more information, see Cisco Unified IP Phone Power.
Step 2 Assemble the phone, adjust phone placement, and connect the network cable.
Locates and installs the phone in the network. See Install Cisco Unified IP Phone.
See Footstand, on page 8.
Step 3 Monitor the phone startup process. Associates directory numbers to the phone and verifies that phone is
configured properly.
See Phone Startup Verification.
Step 4 If you are configuring the network settings on the phone, you can set up an IP address for the phone by either
using DHCP or manually entering an IP address.
• Using DHCP
Verify that the phone has DHCP enabled using the IVR. You can set an alternate TFTP server by entering
the IP address for the TFTP when prompted by the IVR.
Consult with the network administrator to determine whether you need to assign an alternative
TFTP server instead of using the TFTP server assigned by DHCP.
Note
• Without DHCP
Verify that the phone has DHCP disabled using the IVR. You must then configure the IP address, subnet
mask, TFTP server, and default router locally by using the IVR on the phone.
For more information, see Network Settings and Cisco Unified IP Phone Network Settings Setup.
Step 5 Set up security on the phone.
Provides protection against data tampering threats and identity theft of phones.
For more information, see Cisco Unified IP Phone Security.
Step 6 Make calls with the Cisco Unified IP Phone. Verifies that the phone and features work correctly. For more
information, see Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 and 6911 User Guide for Cisco Unified Communications
Manager (SCCP and SIP).
Step 7 Provide information to end users about how to use their phones and how to configure their phone options.
Ensures that users have adequate information to successfully use their Cisco Unified IP Phones.
