Note Only the network port (labeled 10/100 SW) supports inline power from the Cisco Catalyst switches.
For redundancy, you can use the Cisco AC adapter even if you are using inline power from the
Cisco Catalyst switches. The Cisco MGCP IP phone can share the power load being used from the inline
power and external power source. If either the inline power or the external power goes down, the phone
can switch entirely to the other power source.
To use this redundancy feature you must set the inline power mode to auto on the Cisco Catalyst switch.
Next, connect the un-powered Cisco MGCP IP phone to the network. After the phone powers up, connect
the external power supply to the phone.

headset to the headset port on the back of your Cisco IP Phone 7940/7960. For information on ordering
compatible headsets and coil cords for the Cisco IP phone 7940/7960, see

Using the Cisco MGCP IP Phone with a Catalyst Switch
To function in the IP telephony network, the Cisco MGCP IP phone must be connected to a networking
device, such as a Catalyst switch, to obtain network connectivity.
The Cisco MGCP IP phone has an internal Ethernet switch, which enables it to switch traffic coming
from the phone, access port, and the network port.
