Chapter 2 Getting Started with Your Cisco SIP IP Phone

Installing the Cisco SIP IP Phone

Note By default, DHCP is enabled on your phone. Before you can manually configure the network parameters, you must disable DHCP after connecting your phone to a power supply.

Configuring Network Parameters via a DHCP Server

If you are using DHCP to configure the network parameters, configure the following DHCP options on your DHCP server before you connect your Cisco SIP IP phone:

•dhcp option #50 (IP address)

•dhcp option #1 (IP subnet mask)

•dhcp option #3 (Default IP gateway)

•dhcp option #15 (Domain name)

•dhcp option #6 (DNS server IP address)

•dhcp option #66 (TFTP server IP address)

Manually Configuring the Network Parameters

If you are not using DCHP to configure your network parameters, you must manually configure them.

Before You Begin

•Connect your phone as described in the “Connecting the Phone” section on page 2-16.

•Unlock configuration mode as described in the “Unlocking Configuration Mode” section on page 3-2. By default, the network parameters are locked to ensure that end-users cannot modify settings that might affect their network connectivity.

•Review the guidelines on using the Cisco SIP IP phone menus documented in the “Using the Cisco SIP IP Phone Menu Interface” section on page 2-21.
