Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on Your Network

Cisco Unified IP Phones enable you to communicate using voice over a data network. To provide this

capability, the IP Phones depend upon and interact with several other key Cisco Unified IP Telephony

and network components, including Cisco Unified Communications Manager, DNS and DHCP servers,

TFTP servers, media resources, Cisco prestandard PoE, and so on.

This chapter focuses on the interactions between the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 Series and

Cisco Unified Communications Manager, DNS and DHCP servers, TFTP servers, and switches. It also

describes options for powering phones.
