Accessing Network Configuration Settings from a Cisco IP Phone

On the Cisco IP Phone models 7905G/7912G, network configuration options in the Network Configuration Screen are locked by default to prevent users from making changes that could affect network connectivity for a phone.

When settings are inaccessible for modification, a locked padlock icon appears on the Network Configuration screen. An unlocked padlock icon appears on this screen when settings are unlocked and accessible for modification.

You must unlock the network configuration options from the Network Configuration screen before you can configure them. If a password has been specified for the phone, you must enter the password when unlocking network configuration options. (For more information about passwords, see Appendix A, “Additional Configuration Methods, Parameters, and Procedures.”)

Network configuration options are locked again automatically when you exit the Network Configuration Screen.

The unlocked padlock icon, shown below, appears in the margins of this chapter to indicate procedures that require you to unlock settings before modifying them.

Note On the Cisco IP Phone 7902G, network settings are not locked on the phone itself because these settings are accessed through the Phone Configuration web page or the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. See the specific instructions for the Cisco IP Phone 7902G in the sections that follow for more information.
