Installing the Cisco IP Phone Models 7905G and 7912G
Step 4 If the phone will not receive power through the Ethernet connection, connect the
power supply plug to the DC adapter port on the back of the phone. Then use the
power cable to connect the power supply to a standard power outlet.
After you connect a Cisco IP Phone to its power source, a startup process begins.
After several minutes, the LCD displays a neutral "ready" screen. The details on
the screen might vary, but a ready screen typically displays the date and time,
extension number, and available softkeys. Startup is complete and the phone is
ready to use.
Softkeys point to feature options displayed along the bottom of the LCD screen.
Softkeys are flexible—they change depending on the status of the phone. For
example, one set of softkey options appears when the handset is picked up, and
another set appears when the phone is not in use.
If the phone was preprogrammed with its basic configuration, it begins to
automatically download its complete profile from the TFTP server. the initial
preloaded boot load firmware image is upgraded to a firmware image that
supports a specific signalling protocol.
You or the end user must complete the steps in the "Basic Configuration of the
Cisco IP Phone Models 7905G and 7912G" section on page 2-13 before using the
phone.
