2 Preparing to Connect Your Cisco 1040
This section describes tasks that you must perform the first time you set up your network to support
Cisco 1040 operations. If you have not already completed the following tasks, it is advisable to
complete them so that your Cisco 1040 becomes fully operational minutes after you connect it.

Install and Configure IP Communications Service Monitor 1.0

Instructions for completing these tasks are available in User Guide for IP Communications Service
Monitor and in Service Monitor online help:
Using Service Monitor 1.0, perform the following tasks:
Set up Service Monitor. Among other parameters, you will specify a TFTP server and whether
Cisco 1040s can register with the Service Monitor automatically or manually.
Edit configuration files for Cisco 1040s.
Note You can edit a single default configuration file (used in automatic registration) and
you can edit configuration files for each Cisco 1040 (used in manual registration).
From the command line on the system where Service Monitor is installed, copy these files from the
Service Monitor system to the TFTP server:
Configuration files for Cisco 1040s. These include:
QOVDefault.CNF—The default configuration file
QOVmacaddress.CNF—Configuration files for specific Cisco 1040s where macaddress is the
MAC address of the Cisco 1040
The binary image file for Cisco 1040s. The filename format is
SvcMon<vendor code><Cisco 1040 type><major version>_<minor version><bugfix
version>.img. For example:
SvcMonAA2_24.img
