Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
After you have added the phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database, you can complete the phone installation. You (or the phone users) can
install the phone at the users’s location. The Cisco Unified IP Phone Installation
Guide that ships in the box with each phone provides directions for connecting the
phone handset, cables, and other accessories.
Note
Before you install a phone, even if it is new, upgrade the phone to the current
firmware image. For information about upgrading, refer to the Readme file for
your phone, which is located at:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ip-7900ser
After the phone is connected to the network, the phone startup process begins and
the phone registers with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. To finish
installing the phone, configure the network settings on the phone depending on
whether you enable or disable DHCP service.
If you used auto-registration, you need to update the specific configuration
information for the phone such as associating the phone with a user, changing the
button table, or directory number.
