Chapter 1 An Overview of the Cisco Unified IP Phones
Overview of Configuring and 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 can install the phones at the desired location, or you can give the
phone users the information they need to do perform the installation. The Cisco
Unified IP Phone
Installation Guide, which is available at
http://www.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, see 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 use 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 Phones
Table 1-8 provides an overview and checklist of installation tasks for the Cisco Unified IP Phones. 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, see the sources in
the list.
10. Add a user to a user group.
Assigns to 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.

Administration Guide:
• End User Configuration.
• User Group Configuration.
11. Associate a user with a phone (optional).
Provides users with control over their phone such a
forwarding calls or adding speed-dial numbers or
services.
Note Some phones, such as those in conference
rooms, do not have an associated user.
