Note Only the network port (labeled 10/100 SW) supports inline power from the Catalyst switches.
For redundancy, you can use the Cisco AC adapter even if you are using inline power from the Catalyst
switches. The Cisco SIP 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 unpowered Cisco SIP IP phone to the network. After the phone powers up, connect the
external power supply to the phone.

headset. The headset activation key is located on the front of the Cisco SIP IP phone.

Note
headset to the headset port on the back of your Cisco IP Phone 7960/7940. For information on ordering
