Overview of Configuring and Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones

Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones

After you have added the phones to the Cisco Unified CM database, you can complete the phone
installation. You (or the phone users) can install the phone at the users's location. The Cisco Unified IP
Phone Installation Guide, which is provided on the cisco.com web site, provides directions for
connecting the phone handset, cables, and other accessories.
Note Before you install a phone, even if it is new, upgrade the phone to the current firmware image. For
information about upgrading, refer to the Readme file for your phone, which is located at:
http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/index.shtml
After the phone is connected to the network, the phone startup process begins, and the phone registers
with Cisco Unified CM. 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.
