Chapter 1 An Overview of the Cisco Unified IP Phone
Overview of Configuring and Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
After you have added the phones to the Cisco Unified CM 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, which is available on Cisco.com, 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, see the Readme file for your phone, which is located at this URL:
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 CM. 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.
10. Add a user to a user group.
Assigns users a common list of roles and permissions that apply to all
users in a user group. Administrators can manage user groups, roles,
and permissions to control the level of access (and, therefore, the level
of security) for system users.
See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide, User Group Configuration.
11. Associate a user with a phone (optional).
Provides users with control over their phone such as forwarding
calls or adding speed-dial numbers or services.
Note Some phones, such as those in conference rooms, do not
have an associated user.
See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide, End User Configuration.
