Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on
Your Network
Cisco Unified IP Phones enable you to communicate by using voice over a data network. To provide this
capability, the IP Phones depend upon and interact with several other key Cisco Unified IP Telephony
components, including Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
This chapter focuses on the interactions between the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7962G, 7942G, 7961G,
7961G-GE, 7941G, and 7941G-GE and Cisco Unified Communications Manager, DNS and DHCP
servers, TFTP servers, and switches. It also describes options for powering phones.
