Configuring Startup Network Settings

If you are not using DHCP in your network, you must configure these network settings on the

Cisco Unified IP Phone after installing the phone on the network:

•IP address

•IP subnet information

•TFTP server IP address

•You also may configure the domain name and the DNS server settings, if necessary.

Collect this information and see the instructions in Chapter 4, “Configuring Settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phone.”

Configuring Security on the Cisco Unified IP Phone

The security features protect against several threats, including threats to the identity of the phone and to data. These features establish and maintain secure communication streams between the phone and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, and digitally sign files before they are delivered.

For more information about the security features, see the “Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones” section on page 1-9. Also, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

You can initiate the installation of an LSC from the Security Configuration menu on the phone. This menu also lets you update or remove an LSC.

Before You Begin

Make sure that the appropriate Cisco Unified CM and the Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF) security configurations are complete:

•The CTL file should have a CAPF certificate.

•Using Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration, verify that the CAPF certificate has been installed.

•The CAPF is running and configured.

Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide for more information.
