    Network Configuration Menu
Host Name Unique host name that the DHCP server assigned to 
the phone.
Display only—Cannot configure.
Domain Name Name of the Domain Name System (DNS) domain in 
which the phone resides.
1. Unlock network configuration options.
2. Set the DHCP option to No.
3. Scroll to the Domain Name option, 
press the Edit softkey, and then enter a 
new domain name.
4. Press the Validate softkey and then 
press the Save softkey.
Operational VLAN 
ID
Auxiliary Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) 
configured on a Cisco Catalyst switch in which the 
phone is a member.
If the phone has not received an auxiliary VLAN, this 
option indicates the Administrative VLAN. 
If neither the auxiliary VLAN nor the Administrative 
VLAN are configured, this option is blank.
The phone obtains its Operational VLAN ID 
via Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) from 
the switch to which the phone is attached. To 
assign a VLAN ID manually, use the Admin 
VLAN ID option.
Admin. VLAN ID Auxiliary VLAN in which the phone is a member.
Used only if the phone does not receive an auxiliary 
VLAN from the switch; otherwise it is ignored.
1. Unlock network configuration options.
2. Scroll to the Admin. VLAN ID option, 
press the Edit softkey, and then enter a 
new Admin VLAN setting.
3. Press the Validate softkey and then 
press the Save softkey.
SW Port 
Configuration
Speed and duplex of the network port (labeled 
10/100/1000 SW). Valid values:
  • Auto Negotiate
  • 10 Half—10-BaseT/half duplex
  • 10 Full—10-BaseT/full duplex
  • 100 Half—100-BaseT/half duplex
  • 100 Full—100-BaseT/full duplex
  • 1000 Full—1000-BaseT/full duplex
If the phone is connected to a switch, configure the 
port on the switch to the same speed/duplex as the 
phone, or configure both to auto-negotiate.
If you change the setting of this option, you should 
change the PC Port Configuration option to the same 
setting. This ensures that the PC receives the full 
benefits of the network operating speed.
1. Unlock network configuration options.
2. Scroll to the SW Port Configuration 
option and then press the Edit softkey.
3. Scroll to the setting that you want and 
then press the Select softkey.
4. Press the Save softkey.
