The Cisco IP Phone must be correctly configured before it will operate properly. When you configure a phone, you specify parameters and values that instruct the phone how to operate in your environment. Configuring provides the phone with instructions for many aspects of its operation, including how to interact with the network and how to handle IP telephony protocols.

In general, configuring the Cisco IP Phone models 7902G/7905G/7912G can be accomplished through Cisco CallManager and through the network configuration options on a phone. These processes are described in detail in this manual.
