Connecting Your Cisco IP Phone

Chances are, your system administrator or a technician will connect your new Cisco IP Phone to the corporate IP telephony network. If that is not the case, connecting your phone is easy.

Follow the steps below. Refer to to locate ports on the back of your phone.

Before You Begin

Verify that your system administrator is ready for you to connect your

Cisco IP Phone to the network.

Warning Be sure to read Appendix B, “Safety Notices,” before connecting or using your phone.

Step 1 Connect your Cisco IP Phone to the corporate IP telephony network. You can do this in one of two ways, depending on how your workspace is set up. See your system administrator if you are not sure which method to choose:

•Direct network connection—For this method, you need at least one available Ethernet port in your workspace. Use the Ethernet cable included with your phone to connect the network port on the back of your phone to the Ethernet port in your workspace.

•Shared network connection—Use this method if you have a single Ethernet port in your workspace with your desktop computer already connected to it. First, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the computer and attach it to the network port on the back of your phone. Next, use the Ethernet cable included with your phone to connect the access port on the back of your phone to your desktop computer. Your Cisco IP Phone now shares a network connection with your computer.

Step 2 Connect the handset to the handset port. Ensure that the end of the cord with the longer uncoiled section is connected to the body of the phone.
