Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on Your Network
Providing Power to the Phone
• Data traffic to and from the PC connected to the switch through the access port of the IP phone
(native VLAN)
Isolating the phones on a separate, auxiliary VLAN improves the quality of the voice traffic and allows
a large number of phones to be added to an existing network where there are not enough IP addresses
for each phone.
For more information, refer to the documentation included with a Cisco switch. You can also access

The Cisco Unified IP Phones 7931G can be powered with external power or with Power over Ethernet
(PoE). External power is provided through a separate power supply. PoE is provided by a switch through
the Ethernet cable attached to a phone.

Power Outage
Your accessibility to emergency service through the phone is dependent on the phone being powered. If
there is an interruption in the power supply, Service and Emergency Calling Service dialing will not
function until power is restored. In the case of a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or
reconfigure equipment before using the Service or Emergency Calling Service dialing.
