Cisco SIP IP Phone Administrator Guide
Chapter 2 Getting Started with Your Cisco SIP IP Phone
Installing the Cisco SIP IP Phone
•
The default gateway can be 0.0.0.0 only if the TFTP or DNS server is on the same subnet as the
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 2-11
.
•
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 2-15
.
•
When configuring a domain name:
–
Press the Number soft key to enter a numerical ID or press the Alpha soft key to enter a name.
–
If entering letters, use the numbers on the dial pad associated with a particular letter. For
example, the 2 key has the letters A, B, and C. For a lowercase a, press the 2 key once. To scroll
through the available letters and numbers, press the key repeatedly.
–
Press the << soft key to delete any mistakes.
•
After making your changes, relock configuration mode as described in the
“Locking Configuration
Mode” section on page 3-2
.
