Overview of the Cisco SPA 525G IP Phone
The Cisco SPA 525G IP Phone is a full-featured VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
phone that provide voice communication over an IP network. It provides traditional
features, such as call forwarding, redialing, speed dialing, transferring calls,
conference calling and accessing voice mail. Calls can be made or received with a
handset, headset or speaker.
The Cisco SPA 525G phone is connected to the network through its Ethernet
connection or the built-in Wireless-G connection. If you are using the Wireless-G
connection, a separate power adapter (PA-100) is required. The Cisco SPA 525G
provides an additional Ethernet port that allows a computer to be connected to the
network through the IP phone. (This option is only available when phone is
connected to the network via the wired Ethernet connection).
Unlike traditional phones, the Cisco SPA 525G requires a separate power source.
Either connect your phone to an Ethernet switch that provides Power over Ethernet
(PoE), or use a separate power adapter (PA-100).
