Configuring Settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phone

Before the Cisco Unified IP Phone can function, you must configure the network setting on the phone.
You can review the phone’s configuration settings by using the phone’s IVR. When the phone is
connected to a network with a DHCP server, you can use the DHCP server to configure the network
settings. You can also manually configure the phone by accessing the IVR.
