Phone configuration
For your phone to work, it must connect to your organization's Wi-Fi network and call control system.
Phone configuration uses one of these methods:
• Your administrator sets up the phone—You don't need to do any manual configuration. Your administrator
may even lock your access to the configuration menus.
• You set up the phone for your Wi-Fi network and connect to the call control system—Your administrator
gives you the information that you need to add your phone to the Wi-Fi network and call control system.
If your organization's Wi-Fi network does not contain DHCP Option 150 to direct
your phone to the call control system, then you can manually point the phone to
the TFTP server for your call control system environment.

• Configure Cisco Phone app User settings, such as ringtones and automatic noise cancellation.
• Pair your Bluetooth

device to the phone.
