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 mask
• Default gateway IP address
• TFTP server IP address
You may also configure these optional settings as necessary:
• Domain name
• DNS server IP address
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.
