Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phone

Understanding the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G and 7945G Components

You can use either Category 3/5/5e/6 cabling for 10 Mbps connections, but you must use Category 5/5e/6 for 100 Mbps connections and Category 5e/6 for 1000 Mbps connections.

Use the SW network port to connect the phone to the network. You must use a straight-through cable on this port. The phone can also obtain inline power from a switch over this connection. See the “Providing Power to the Phone” section on page 2-3for details.

Use the PC access port to connect a network device, such as a computer, to the phone. You must use a straight-through cable on this port.

Handset

The wideband-capable handset is designed especially for use with a Cisco Unified IP Phone. It includes a light strip that indicates incoming calls and voice messages waiting.

To connect a handset to the Cisco Unified IP Phone, plug the cable into the handset and into the Handset port on the back of the phone.

Speakerphone

By default, the wideband-capable speakerphone is enabled on the Cisco Unified IP Phone.

You can disable the speakerphone by using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To do so, choose Device > Phone and locate the phone you want to modify. In the Phone Configuration window for the phone, check the Disable Speakerphone check box.

Headset

Although Cisco Systems performs limited internal testing of third-party headsets for use with the Cisco Unified IP Phones, Cisco does not certify or support products from headset (or handset) vendors.

Cisco recommends the use of good quality external devices, for example, headsets hat are screened against unwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals. Depending on the quality of headsets and their proximity to other devices, such as mobile phones and two-way radios, some audio noise or echo may still occur. An audible hum or buzz may be heard by either the remote party or by both the remote party and the Cisco Unified IP Phone user. Humming or buzzing sounds can be caused by a range of outside sources; for example, electric lights, electric motors, or large PC monitors. See Using External Devices, page 3-5.

Note In some cases, hum may be reduced or eliminated by using a local power cube or power injector.

These environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where Cisco Unified IP Phones are deployed means that there is not a single headset solution that is optimal for all environments.

Cisco recommends that customers test headsets in their intended environment to determine performance before making a purchasing decision and deploying en mass.

Note Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G and 7945G support wideband headsets.
