Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phone
Before You Begin
Network Requirements
For the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G and 7945G to successfully operate as a Cisco Unified IP Phone
endpoint in your network, your network must meet these requirements:
• Working Voice over IP (VoIP) network:
– VoIP configured on your Cisco routers and gateways
– Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0 or higher installed in your network and
configured to handle call processing
• IP network that supports DHCP or manual assignment of IP address, gateway, and subnet mask
Note The Cisco Unified IP Phone displays the date and time from Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
If the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager server is located in a different time zone than the phones,
the phones will not display the correct local time.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration
The Cisco Unified IP Phone requires Cisco Unified Communications Manager to handle call
processing. Refer to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration Guide or to
context-sensitive help in the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager application to ensure that
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager is set up properly to manage the phone and to properly route
and process calls.
If you plan to use auto-registration, verify that it is enabled and properly configured in
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager before connecting any Cisco Unified IP Phone to the network.
For information about enabling and configuring auto-registration, refer to Cisco
Unified
Communications Manager Administration Guide. Also, see the “Adding Phones to the Cisco
