Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
After you have added the phones to the Cisco Unified CallManager database, you
can complete the phone installation. You (or the phone users) can install the phone
at the users’s location. The Cisco
Unified IP Phone Installation Guide that ships
in the box with each phone provides directions for connecting the phone handset,
cables, and other accessories.
Note Before you install a phone, even if it is new, upgrade the phone to the current
firmware image. For information about upgrading your phone, see the Readme
file for your phone model located at:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ip-7900ser
After the phone is connected to the network, the phone startup process begins and
the phone registers with Cisco
Unified CallManager. To finish installing the
phone, configure the network settings on the phone depending on whether you
enable or disable DHCP service.
If you used auto-registration, you need to update the specific configuration
information for the phone such as associating the phone with a user, changing the
button table, or directory number.
