Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phones

Adjusting the Placement of the Cisco Unified IP Phone

Securing the Phone with a Cable Lock

You can secure the Cisco Unified IP Phone to a desktop by using a laptop cable lock. The lock connects to the security slot on the back of the phone, and the cable can be secured to a desktop.

The security slot can accommodate a lock up to 20 mm. Compatible laptop cable locks include the Kensington® laptop cable lock and laptop cable locks from other manufacturers that can fit into the security slot on the back of the phone. See Figure 3-3.

Mounting the Phone to the Wall

You can mount the Cisco Unified IP Phone on the wall by using the footstand as a mounting bracket or you can use special brackets available in a Cisco Unified IP Phone wall mount kit. Wall mount kits must be ordered separately from the phone.

If you attach the Cisco Unified IP Phone to a wall by using the standard footstand and not the wall mount kit, you need to supply the following tools and parts:

Screwdriver

Screws to secure the Cisco Unified IP Phone to the wall See Figure 3-4for a graphical overview of the phone parts.

Before You Begin

To ensure that the handset attaches securely to a wall-mounted phone, remove the handset wall hook from the handset rest, rotate the hook 180 degrees, and reinsert the hook. Turning the hook exposes a lip on which the handset catches when the phone is vertical. For an illustrated procedure, see Installing the Wall Mount Kit for the Cisco Unified IP Phone at:
