LAB 1: Plug & Play
LAB 1: Plug & Play
Introduction:
UC520 is a unified communications appliance that is designed to be deployed quickly and easy. To help
facilitate this, the system automatically detects phones as they are connected and configures them with
basic default settings that allow calls to be made without intervention. For instance, if a 7960G phone is
plugged in, the system detects the type of the phone and auto configures a useable extension on the first
line button.
Objective:
The objective of the “PLUG & PLAY” lab is to show the ease of install of the UC520 system. At the
completion of this lab, all IP phones (including the CIPC softphone) and analog phones on the UC520
should get dial tone and be able to call each other. You should be able to call out as well if a PSTN
connection is available via a FXO or ISDN lines.
Topology:
Use the following topology
Setup steps:
Be sure to turn off your wireless adaptor before completing the labs to avoid routing issues.
The only network connection from your laptop should be to the UC500 / lab network.
1. Be sure your UC500 system is powered up, then plug one of the “Internet” cables into the WAN
port.
2. Plug in the 7970 and 524 phones in to the UC520 Power Over Ethernet (POE) ports at each POD
using the Ethernet cables provided.
3. Connect your laptop to the back of an IP phone or to a POE port on the UC500. Verify that you
get an IP address assigned to the laptop.
4. After both 7970 and 524 IP Phones have registered to the UC500, install and launch Cisco IP
Communicator (CIPC) SoftPhone on your laptop.
