Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones

After you have added the phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, you can
complete the phone installation. You can install the phones at the desired location, or you can give the
phone users the information they need to do perform the installation. The Cisco Unified IP Phone
Installation Guide, which is available at http://www.cisco.com, provides directions for connecting the
phone handset, cables, and other accessories.
Before you install a phone, even if it is new, upgrade the phone to the current firmware image. For
Note
information about upgrading, see the Readme file for your phone, which is located at:

After the phone is connected to the network, the phone startup process begins, and the phone registers
with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. To finish installing the phone, configure the network
settings on the phone depending on whether you enable or disable DHCP service.
If you use 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.
