Some phones, such as those in conference rooms, do not have an associated user.
For more information, see the “Associating Devices to an End User” section in the “End User Configuration”
chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Cisco Unified IP Phone Installation
After you add phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, you can complete the phone
installation. You (or the phone users) can install the phone at the user location. The Cisco Unified IP Phone
Installation Guide, which is provided on the Cisco.com website, provides directions for connecting the phone
handset, cables, and other accessories.
Before you install a phone, even if it is new, upgrade the phone to the current firmware image. For
information about upgrading, see the Readme file for your phone, which is located at:
http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/Redirect.x?mdfid=278875240
Note
After the phone connects to the network, the phone startup process begins, and the phone registers with
Cisco Unified Communications Manager. To finish installing the phone, configure the network settings on
the phone depending on whether you enable or disable DHCP service.
If you used autoregistration, you need to update the specific configuration information for the phone such as
associating the phone with a user, changing the button table, or directory number.
