Configuring the Cisco IP Phone

Models 7905G and 7912G Using the

Phone Menus

The Cisco IP Phone includes configurable network and SIP parameters, which you might need to modify before the phone is accessible and functional for your users.

You can configure and view many parameters through configuration and status menus on the phone, as described in this chapter. You can also view and configure most parameters through web pages and all parameters through profiles. For more information, see Chapter 6, “Configuring the Cisco IP Phone Models 7905G and 7912G Using a TFTP Server,” and Chapter 7, “Configuring the

Cisco IP Phone Models 7905G and 7912G Using Web Pages.”

Appendix B, “Phone Menu, Web Page, and Profile Equivalent Parameters,” shows the configurable parameters on the phone menus and their equivalent web page and profile parameters.

Note If you configure a phone using a TFTP server, parameter values in a profile will overwrite values that you set from the phone menus for the same parameters.
