Step 1 Place the Cisco 1040 on top of the appropriate Cisco Catalyst switch.

Note The minimum height necessary to install the Cisco 1040 is 5.08 cm (2 in.). The installation of the unit should not restrict the airflow around the device. When operating the unit, ensure that no objects are placed on top of the unit.

Step 2 Connect a Category 5 straight-through cable from 10/100-1 (Fast Ethernet port 1) on the Cisco 1040 to a port that supports IEEE 802.3af standard PoE on the Cisco Catalyst switch.

Step 3 Connect a Category 5 straight-through cable from 10/100-2 (Fast Ethernet port 2) on the Cisco 1040 to a port that you have configured as a SPAN (or RSPAN) destination port on the Cisco Catalyst switch.

Note Verify that this port on the switch is set up to mirror a VLAN or switch ports to which phones are connected.

A startup process begins on the Cisco 1040. The status indicator on the front of the Cisco 1040 should flash amber, turn yellow, and then turn green. For more information, see Understanding the Status Indicator Light, page 7.

4Using Your Cisco 1040

After you have successfully connected your Cisco 1040, use Service Monitor to manage and configure it. For example, you will use Service Monitor to specify the TFTP server to use, update configuration files, set the time, and reset Cisco 1040s.

This section describes information that you can obtain directly from a Cisco 1040:
