Configuring Startup Network Settings
If you are not using DHCP in your network, you must configure these network settings on the
Cisco Unified IP Phone after installing the phone on the network:
• IP address
• IP subnet information (subnet mask for IPv4 and subnet prefix length for IPv6)
• Default gateway IP address
• TFTP server IP address
• You also may configure the domain name and the DNS server settings, if necessary.
Collect this information and see the instructions in Chapter 4, “Configuring Settings on the Cisco
Unified IP Phone.”
Configuring Security on the Cisco Unified IP Phone
The security features protect against several threats, including threats to the identity of the phone and to
data. These features establish and maintain authenticated communication streams between the phone and
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, and digitally sign files before they are delivered.
For more information about the security features, see the “Understanding Security Features for Cisco
Unified IP Phones” section on page 1-11. Also, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Security Guide.
