Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
After you have added the phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
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, refer to the Readme file for
your phone, which is 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 Communications Manager. 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.
Step 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.
Refer to
Cisco
Communications
Manager Administration
Guide,
“End User Configuration”
chapter, “Associating
Devices to a User”
section.
