Configuring the Cisco SPA 500S Attendant 
Console
The Cisco SPA 500S is a 32-button attendant console for the Cisco SPA 500 
Series IP Phones. The Cisco SPA 500S works in both SIP and SPCP mode. The 
Cisco SPA 500S connects to the phone with the attachment arm provided (not 
shown). It obtains power directly from the phone and does not require a separate 
power supply. Two Cisco SPA 500S units can be attached to a single phone to 
monitor a total of 64 separate lines. 
For more information about installing and configuring the Cisco SPA 500S with a 
Cisco SPA 9000 system, see the 
Cisco SPA 9000 Voice System Installation and 
Configuration Guide
