To function in the IP telephony network, the Cisco IP Phone must be connected to a networking device, such as a Cisco Catalyst switch. You must also register the Cisco IP Phone with a Cisco CallManager system in order to send and receive calls.
Page 36: Understanding How The Cisco Ip Phone Interacts With Cisco Callmanager
Cisco CallManager Cisco CallManager is an open and industry-standard call processing system. Cisco CallManager software runs on a Windows 2000 server and sets up and tears down calls between phones, integrating traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP network. Cisco CallManager manages the components of the IP telephony system—the phones, access gateways, and the resources necessary for...
Page 37: Understanding The Phone Startup Process
For more information, refer to the documentation included with the Cisco Catalyst switch. The Cisco IP Phone 7910 does not have an access port. If you require an access Note port on this phone model, use the Cisco IP Phone 7910+SW instead.
Page 38: Obtaining Power From The Switch
• Obtaining Power from the Switch You can connect the Cisco IP Phone to a Cisco Catalyst switch with one of the modules that provides power to the phone (WS-X6348-RJ45V). See the “Providing Power to the Cisco IP Phone” section on page 2-7 for details.
Page 39: Accessing Tftp Server
In addition to assigning an IP address, the DHCP server also directs the Cisco IP Phone to a TFTP Server. If the phone has a statically defined IP address, you must configure the TFTP server locally on the phone; the phone then goes to the TFTP server directly.
Page 40: Guidelines For Configuring Ports On Cisco Ip Phones
Category 5 for 100 Mbps connections. On both the network port and access port, use full-duplex mode to avoid collisions. The Cisco IP Phone 7910 does not have an access port. If you require an access Note port on this phone model, use the Cisco IP Phone 7910+SW instead.
Page 41: Using The Access Port
You must use a straight-through cable on this port. Providing Power to the Cisco IP Phone You can power a Cisco IP Phone from an external power supply, from a switch port, or from a power source between the phone and the switch.
Page 42: Redundancy Feature
Redundancy Feature For redundancy, you can use the Cisco AC adapter even if you are using inline power from the Cisco Catalyst switches. The Cisco IP Phone can share the power load being used from the inline power and external power source.
Page 43: Connecting A Handset To A Cisco Ip Phone
You can use a headset with any Cisco IP Phone. These sections help you determine the headset supported by a particular Cisco IP Phone: Using a Headset with a Cisco IP Phone Model 7960 or 7940, page 2-9 • Using a Headset with a Cisco IP Phone 7910, page 2-10 •...
Page 44: Disabling The Speakerphone Feature
Adding Phones to the Cisco CallManager Database Using a Headset with a Cisco IP Phone 7910 The Cisco IP Phone 7910 does not have a separate headset jack. However, you can use a headset in place of the handset. You can use industry-standard headsets, such as Plantronics M-12 amplified headsets or other headsets that provide switch capability between the headset and handset.
Page 45: Using Auto-Registration
With auto-registration enabled, Cisco CallManager begins the automatic startup process to obtain a directory number as soon as you connect the Cisco IP Phone to the network. During auto-registration, Cisco CallManager automatically assigns the next available sequential directory number to the phone.
Page 46: Adding Phones Manually
Adding Phones Manually If you want to assign specific directory numbers to a specific Cisco IP Phone without using auto-registration, you can manually add each phone to the Cisco CallManager database or use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT).
Page 47: Assigning Static Ip Addresses
You must configure each phone locally. Use the following procedure as a starting point to add phones manually using the Cisco CallManager Administration application. Cisco IP Phone Administration Guide for Cisco CallManager 3.2, Cisco IP Phones 7960/7940/7910 2-13 78-10453-04...
