Overview of Configuring and Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
After you have added the phones to the Cisco Unified CM database, you can complete the phone installation. You (or the phone users) can install the phone at the users’s location. The Cisco Unified IP Phone Installation Guide, which is provided on the cisco.com web site, provides directions for connecting the phone handset, cables, and other accessories.
Note Before you install a phone, even if it is new, upgrade the phone to the current firmware image. For
information about upgrading, refer to the Readme file for your phone, which is located at:
http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/index.shtml
After the phone is connected to the network, the phone startup process begins, and the phone registers with Cisco Unified CM. To finish installing the phone, configure the network settings on the phone depending on whether you enable or disable DHCP service.
If you used auto-registration, 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.
