NOTE: If you are connecting your phone to a Wireless-G network using the Cisco WBP54G, see the ”Connecting the Phone to the Wireless Network” section on page 20.

Connecting Your Phone to the Computer Network

You connect your phone to the local network by using an Ethernet cable:

STEP 1 Plug the Ethernet cable into the back of the base station into the slot marked “WAN.” This port is labeled #4 on the Cisco SPA IP Phone Connections graphic.

STEP 2 Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the appropriate device on your network, such as a network switch.

NOTE: The SPA922, SPA942, and SPA962 models provide a second Ethernet port. You can connect a PC to this port to provide network access to the PC. This port is labeled #3 in the Cisco SPA IP Phone Connections graphic.

Connecting the Phone to the Wireless Network

You can use the Cisco WBP54G Wireless-G Bridge for Phone Adapters to connect the SPA92X, SPA94X, or SPA962 phones to a Wireless-G network instead of the wired local network.

NOTE: This procedure requires the optional Cisco SPA9000 Voice System IP Phone PA-100 power adapter to provide power to the WBP54G.
