Figure 2 Cisco SPA 301 Phone Ethernet Connection

If you are using an Ethernet connection:

STEP 1 Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the network port on the phone body marked “WAN” (labeled 3 in Figure 2).

STEP 2 Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into the appropriate device, such as a network switch, on your network.

(Optional) Connecting Your Cisco SPA 301 to the Wireless Network

You can use the Cisco WBP54G Wireless-G Bridge for Phone Adapters to connect the IP phone to a Wireless-G network instead of the wired local network. To connect your phone to the Cisco WBP54G:

STEP 1 Configure the Cisco WBP54G using the Setup Wizard. See the instructions in the Wireless-G Bridge for Phone Adapters Quick Installation Guide, available on cisco.com. See Appendix A, “Where to Go From Here,” for a list of documents and locations.

STEP 2 During the Setup Wizard process, connect the Ethernet network cable of the WBP54G to the back of the IP phone base station into the slot marked “WAN.”

STEP 3 Connect the power cable of the WBP54G to the power port on the IP phone base.

STEP 4 Plug the IP phone power adapter into the power port of the WBP54G.
