Overview of the Cisco Small Business Pro IP Phones  
The Cisco Small Business Pro IP Phones are full-featured VoIP (Voice over Internet  
Protocol) phones that provide voice communication over an IP network. The  
phones provide traditional features, such as call forwarding, redialing, speed  
dialing, transferring calls, conference calling and accessing voice mail. Calls can  
be made or received with a handset, headset or over a speaker.  
IP phones also have special features not available in traditional phones. The Cisco  
Small Business Pro IP phones contain Ethernet ports, or ports that allow them to  
be linked to the computer network. They also have additional Ethernet ports that  
allow a computer to be connected to the network through the IP phone.  
Unlike traditional phones, Cisco Small Business Pro IP phones require a separate  
power source. You can power the phones by connecting them to a switch that  
provides Power over Ethernet (PoE), or by using an optional PA100 power adapter.  
The following table shows the Cisco Small Business Pro IP Phones covered in this  
document and their respective features:

The Cisco SPA 500S is a 32-button attendant console for the Cisco Small  
Business Pro IP phones, providing 32 three-color (red, green, and amber)  
programmable LEDS, with support for Broadsoft Busy Lamp Field and Asterisk  
Line Monitoring. The Cisco SPA 500S attaches to the IP phone with the attachment  
arm provided (not shown). It obtains power directly from the IP phone and does  
not require a separate power supply. Two Cisco SPA 500S units can be attached  
to a single IP phone to monitor a total of 64 separate lines. For more information on  
Caring for Your Phone  
The Cisco Small Business Pro IP phones are electronic devices that should not be  
exposed to excessive heat, sun, cold or water. To clean the equipment, use a  
slightly moistened paper or cloth towel. Do not spray or pour cleaning solution  
directly onto the hardware unit.

Configuring the Cisco SPA 500S  
The Cisco SPA 500S can be configured to easily access other phone lines in the  
system. For example, buttons on the Cisco SPA 500S can be configured to monitor  
another extension, speed dial a number, transfer calls to another extension, and  
more.  
NOTE The options available on the Cisco SPA 500S depend on the phone system  
configuration. Your phone system might not provide all of the features mentioned in  
this document.  
Configuration of the Cisco SPA 500S and assignment of the line buttons is  
performed by the system administrator and is not described in this document. To  
configure the Cisco SPA 500S:  
If the Cisco SPA 500S and attached IP phone are part of a Cisco SPA 9000  
Voice System, we recommend that you use the Cisco SPA 9000 Setup  
Wizard. For instructions on using the Setup Wizard, see the System  
Configuration Using the SPA 9000 Setup Wizard document on Cisco.com.  
See Appendix B, “Where to Go From Here” for the link to this document.  
If you want to manually configure the Cisco SPA 500S using the web user  
interface for the IP phone to which the Cisco SPA 500S is attached, see the  
Cisco SPA 500 Series and Wireless IP Phone Administration Guide on  
Cisco.com. See Appendix B, “Where to Go From Here” for the link to this  
document.  
If the Cisco SPA 500S and attached IP phone are used with a Broadsoft or  
Asterisk server, see the Cisco SPA 500 Series and Wireless IP Phone  
Administration Guide on Cisco.com. See Appendix B, “Where to Go From  
Here” for the link to this document.

Orange (steady): The line is not registered; there is a problem with phone  
connectivity.  
-
-
Orange (blinking): The line is not configured properly.  
Off: The line is not configured.  
Transfer an active call by pressing the line button on the Cisco SPA 500S.
