Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is available to all customers who
need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two
levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC
Escalation Center.
Cisco TAC inquiries are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:
•
•
•
Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco
product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.
Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network
functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.
Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded,
affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is
available.
•
Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact
to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No
workaround is available.
The Cisco TAC resource that you choose is based on the priority of the problem
and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.
Cisco TAC Web Site
You can use the Cisco TAC Web Site to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving
both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools,
knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to this

Obtaining Technical Assistance
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have
complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site.
The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have
a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to this URL to
register:
If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical
issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, you can open a case online by using the
TAC Case Open tool at this URL:
If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through
the Cisco TAC Web Site.
Cisco TAC Escalation Center
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2
issues. These classifications are assigned when severe network degradation
significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation
Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer automatically opens a case.
To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country,
go to this URL:
Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the
level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled: for example,
SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA). When
you call the center, please have available your service agreement number and your
product serial number.

Introducing Your Cisco IP Phone
A Cisco IP Phone is a full-feature telephone that provides voice communication
over the same data network that your computer uses. This phone functions much
like a traditional analog phone, allowing you to place and receive telephone calls.
It also supports features that you have come to expect from a telephone—such as
speed dialing, redial, call transfer, conference calling, and voice mail access.
Your Cisco IP Phone offers features that might surprise you. Because it is part of
data services, too—including up-to-the-minute information and services from the
network. In a nutshell, your Cisco IP Phone provides a whole range of
default—your administrator may not add them for you. You access some phone
features and services on the phone itself, while you customize others on a

Chapter 1 Introducing Your Cisco IP Phone
Connecting Your Cisco IP Phone
Connecting Your Cisco IP Phone
Chances are, your system administrator or a technician will connect your new
connecting your phone is easy.
Follow the steps below. Refer to to locate ports on the back of your phone.
Before You Begin
Verify that your system administrator is ready for you to connect your
Cisco IP Phone to the network.
Warning
Step 1
Be sure to read Appendix B, “Safety Notices,” before connecting or using your
phone.
Connect your Cisco IP Phone to the corporate IP telephony network. You can do
this in one of two ways, depending on how your workspace is set up. See your
system administrator if you are not sure which method to choose:
•
Direct network connection—For this method, you need at least one available
Ethernet port in your workspace. Use the Ethernet cable included with your
phone to connect the network port on the back of your phone to the Ethernet
port in your workspace.
•
Shared network connection—Use this method if you have a single Ethernet
port in your workspace with your desktop computer already connected to it.
First, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the computer and attach it to the
network port on the back of your phone. Next, use the Ethernet cable included
with your phone to connect the access port on the back of your phone to your
desktop computer. Your Cisco IP Phone now shares a network connection
with your computer.
Step 2
Connect the handset to the handset port. Ensure that the end of the cord with the
longer uncoiled section is connected to the body of the phone.

Connecting Your Cisco IP Phone
Step 3
If your system administrator delivered your Cisco IP Phone with a power supply,
phone.
If your system administrator delivered your phone without a power supply, your
phone probably receives power through the Ethernet connection.
Step 4
Step 5
Use the power cable to connect the power supply to a standard power outlet in
your workspace.
To adjust the footstand height, release the footstand by pressing the footstand
adjustment knob and gently pull the footstand away from the body of the phone.
See the “Adjusting the Handset Rest” section on page 1-12 for information on
adjusting the handset rest to make sure the receiver will sit securely in the cradle.
Once you connect the Cisco IP Phone to its power source, a start-up process
begins. After several minutes, the phone’s LCD screen displays a neutral “ready”
screen. The details on your screen might vary, but a ready screen typically
displays the date and time, your extension number, and available soft keys.
Startup is complete and your phone is ready to use.
Tip
Soft keys point to feature options displayed along the bottom of your LCD screen.
Soft keys are flexible—they change depending on the status of your phone. For
example, you can see one set of soft key options when you pick up the handset,
and another set when the phone is not in use.

A voice prompt asks you to select the language that you want to use. Choose
appropriately.
Step 4

Navigating on Your Phone
Navigating on your Cisco IP Phone is easy. You use the Navigation button, the
softkeys, and the key pad to make your selections:
•
Softkeys correspond to the option tabs displayed along the bottom of your
LCD screen. Softkeys change depending on the status of your phone. For
example, you can see one set of softkey options when you pick up the handset,
and another set when the phone is not in use.
•
The >> softkey allows you to re-position your cursor. The << softkey allows
you to delete a character or digit in an entry. Press the << softkey or the
Delete softkey if you make a mistake or need to edit an entry. The Delete
softkey allows you to edit a character or digit—it does not delete the entire
entry.
•
You can choose menu items on your Cisco IP Phone in more than one way:
–
Using the Navigation button—Press the Navigation button (this is the
button with the up and down arrows) to select (or highlight) a menu item.
Then press the Select softkey.
–
Using an Item Number—You can press the number key on your phone’s
key pad that corresponds to the item number displayed on the LCD
screen. Use this method to select any menu item that has an item number
to the left of it
•
To enter any letter on your LCD screen, use a corresponding number key.
Press the key one or more times to display a particular letter. For example,
press the 2 key one time for “a,” twice quickly for “b,” and three times
quickly for “c.” After you pause, the cursor automatically advances to allow
you to enter the next letter. Press the << softkey if you make a mistake.

your Cisco IP Phone to another number, your Cisco IP Phone does not relinquish
the forwarded call unless the call is answered (in other words, picked up by a

forwarded call “unanswered” after a certain number of rings. Unanswered,
forwarded calls are redirected to your voice mail system (if one is available).
