Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones

After you have added the phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, you can complete the phone installation. You can install the phones at the desired location, or you can give the phone users the information they need to do perform the installation. The Cisco Unified IP Phone Installation Guide, which is available at http://www.cisco.com, provides directions for connecting the phone handset, cables, and other accessories.

Note Before you install a phone, even if it is new, upgrade the phone to the current firmware image. For information about upgrading, see the Readme file for your phone, which is located at:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ip-7900ser

After the phone is connected to the network, the phone startup process begins, and the phone registers with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. To finish installing the phone, configure the network settings on the phone depending on whether you enable or disable DHCP service.

If you use auto-registration, you need to update the specific configuration information for the phone such as associating the phone with a user, changing the button table, or directory number.
