Mounting the Phone to the Wall

Mounting the Phone to the Wall

You can mount the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 on the wall by using a standard telephone wall plate with an opening for an RJ-45 connector. Cisco recommends that you use Leviton Wall Mount plate (Leviton type number: 4108W-0SP) to wall mount the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901. For information on installing the wall mount kit for Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901, see Appendix E, “Installing the Wall Mount for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 and 6911.”

You can mount the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6911 on the wall by using special brackets available in a Cisco Unified IP Phone wall mount kit. For information on installing the wall mount kit, see Appendix E, “Installing the Wall Mount for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 and 6911” or Appendix F, “Cisco Unified IP Phone Non-Lockable Wall Mount.”

Note Wall mount kits are not included with the phone and must be ordered separately.

Verifying the Phone Startup Process

The LEDs on the MWI on the handset, and the LEDs on the Mute button light up during bootup. Upon successful completion of the bootup process, the LEDs turn off, and the phone is ready for calls. If the phone successfully boots up, it has started up properly. If the phone does not start up properly, the user receives a reorder tone. For more information, see the “Resolving Startup Problems” section on page 7-1.

Configuring Startup Network Settings

If you are not using DHCP in your network, you must configure these network settings on the

Cisco Unified IP Phone after installing the phone on the network:

•IP address

•IP subnet information

•Default Router

•TFTP server IP address

Collect this information and see the instructions in Chapter 4, “Configuring Settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phone.”
