Overview
The Cisco SIP IP Phone Administrator Guide provides information about how to set up, connect cables
to, and configure a Cisco Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) IP phone 7940 or 7960 (hereafter referred to
as a Cisco SIP IP phone). It also provides information on how to configure the network and SIP settings
and change the settings and options of the Cisco SIP IP phone. The administrator guide also includes
reference information such as Cisco SIP IP phone call flows and compliance information.
Who Should Use This Guide
Network engineers, system administrators, or telecommunications engineers should use this guide to
learn the steps required to properly set up the Cisco SIP IP phone on the network.
The tasks described are considered to be administration-level tasks and are not intended for the end users
of the phones. Many of the tasks involve configuring network settings that could affect the phone's
ability to function in the network and require an understanding of IP networking and telephony concepts.
