Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco IP Phone

Before You Begin

In Cisco CallManager, you can add users to the database and associate them with specific phones. In this way, users gain access to web pages that allow them to configure items such as call forwarding, speed dialing, and voice messaging system options. See the “Adding Users to Cisco CallManager” section on

page 5-7for details.

Network and Access Ports

The back of the Cisco IP Phone 7970 has a network port, labeled 10/100 SW, and an access port, labeled 10/100 PC. Each port supports 10/100 Mbps half- or full-duplex connections to external devices. You can use either Category 3 or 5 cabling for 10-Mbps connections, but you must use Category 5 for 100 Mbps connections.

Use the 10/100 SW network port to connect the phone to the network. You must use a straight-through cable on this port. The phone can also obtain inline power from a switch over this connection. See the “Providing Power to the

Cisco IP Phone 7970” section on page 2-4 for details.

Use the 10/100 PC access port to connect a network device, such as a computer, to the phone. You must use a straight-through cable on this port.

Handset

The handset is designed especially for use with a Cisco IP Phone. It includes a light strip that indicates incoming calls and voice messages waiting.

Speakerphone

By default, the speakerphone is enabled on Cisco IP Phone 7970. You can disable the speakerphone through the Cisco CallManager Administration application or from the phone itself.

To disable the speakerphone from Cisco CallManager, choose Device > Phone and locate the phone you want to modify. In the Phone Configuration web page for the phone, check the Disable Speakerphone check box.
