Chapter 1 An Overview of the Cisco Unified IP Phone
Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
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, which is available on cisco.com, 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.
Checklist for Installing the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 Series
Table 1-7 provides an overview and checklist of installation tasks for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970
Series. The list presents a suggested order to guide you through the phone installation. Some tasks are
optional, depending on your system and user needs. For detailed procedures and information, refer to
the sources in the list.
10. Associate a user to a user group.
Assigns users a common list of roles and permissions that
apply to all users in a user group. Administrators can manage
user groups, roles, and permissions to control the level of
access (and, therefore, the level of security) for system users.
Refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide:
• “End User Configuration” chapter, “End User
Configuration settings” section.
• “User Group Configuration” chapter, “Adding
Users to a User Group” section.
11. Associate a user with a phone (optional).
Provides users with control over their phone such as
forwarding calls or adding speed-dial numbers or services.
Note Some phones, such as those in conference rooms, do
not have an associated user.
Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide, “End User Configuration”
chapter, “Associating Devices to a User” section.
