Before you install a phone, even if it is new, upgrade the phone to the current
firmware image. For more information about upgrading, refer to 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 CallManager. To finish installing the
phone, configure the network settings on the phone depending on whether you
enable or disable DHCP service.
If you used 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.
Table 1-5 provides an overview and checklist of installation tasks for the Cisco
