Chapter 1 An Overview of the Cisco Unified IP Phone
Overview of Configuring and Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
4. If you choose to deploy the Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971 on a
wireless network, skip to Task 5.
If you are configuring the ethernet network settings on the phone
for an IP network, you can set up an IP address for the phone by
either using DHCP or manually entering an IP address.
Using DHCP—To enable DHCP and allow the DHCP server to
automatically assign an IP address to the Cisco Unified IP Phone
and direct the phone to a TFTP server, press Applications and
choose Administrator Settings > Network Setup > Ethernet
Setup > IPv4 Setup and:
• To enable DHCP, set DHCP Enabled to Yes. DHCP is enabled
by default.
• To use an alternate TFTP server, set Alternate TFTP Server to
Yes, and enter the IP address for the TFTP Server.
Note Consult with the network administrator to determine
whether you need to assign an alternative TFTP server
instead of using the TFTP server assigned by DHCP.
Without DHCP—You must configure the IP address, subnet mask,
TFTP server, and default router locally on the phone. Press
Applications and choose > Administrator Settings > Network
Setup > Ethernet Setup > IPv4 Setup:
To disable DHCP and manually set an IP address:
a. Set DHCP Enabled to No.
b. Enter the static IP address for phone.
c. Enter the subnet mask.
d. Enter the default router IP addresses.
e. Set Alternate TFTP Server to Yes, and enter the IP address for
TFTP Server 1.
You must also enter the domain name where the phone resides.
Press Applications and choose Administrator Settings >
Network Setup> Ethernet Setup.
See the “Configuring Startup Network
Settings” section on page 3-21.
