cable must be plugged into a powered Ethernet jack. All VoIP-capable Ethernet jacks are marked
with a red dot.
2. Connect the handset to its respective port.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable from your Desktop PC to the Access Port on the IP Phone (right port -
optional).
4. Connect the power plug to the DC48V AC Adapter port (optional).
Note: Before successfully installing the phone, the system administrator must prepare the network for
the phone.

Additional Call Handling
Each phone line you have available can handle up to six individual calls. Therefore, it is possible that you
will have a call in progress and receive another call on the same line. Or you could have a call in
progress and decide to call someone else to confirm a piece of information, only to return to your original
call. You can also use the additional call handling feature in order to set up a three- or four-way
conference call.
Answering an additional call while a call is in progress
If this occurs, your handset/headset will beep and the additional call will appear on the LCD panel on your
phone.
Step 1)
Step 2)
Step 3)
Step 4)
Use the SCROLL buttons to scroll to that call and then press the Answer soft key.
Your original call will be placed on hold while you are talking to the second caller.
If the third party hangs up, you will automatically be reconnected to your original call.
Otherwise, you can press the EndCall soft key on the third party, which will also
automatically reconnect you to your original call.
Step 5)
Finally, you can use the SCROLL button to alternate between calls. You will need to scroll to
each call and then press the Resume soft key to reconnect to that call. The other caller will
be placed on hold.
Making a call while a call is in progress
If you are in the middle of a call and want to talk to another party briefly while still being connected to your
original second party, then you can use the same line to dial out an additional call. You can make up to
six calls on each line you have available.
.
Step 1)
Step 2)
Step 3)
Step 4)
Press the HOLD button to place your original call on hold.
Press the NewCall soft key.
Dial the number of the additional party.
You should now be connected to your third party. Your second party will be placed on hold
while you interact with the third party. You can reconnect to your second party by using the
SCROLL buttons and the Resume soft key.
Notes: Only one call can be “active” at any given time. All other calls are automatically placed on hold.
To instantly create a conference call between three or more parties (yourself included), press the
more soft key followed by the Join soft key. This will automatically create a conference with all
the parties that are connected (see the Conference Call section for more details).

allowing you to retrieve it from another phone.
To retrieve the parked call from another phone, dial the call park number at which the call is
parked.
Note: You have a limited amount of time to retrieve the parked call before it reverts to ringing at its
original destination.

Repeat this process for the second call.
With one of the select calls highlighted, press DirTrfr. The two calls connect to each other
and drop you from the call. If you want to stay on the line, use the Join soft key to create a
conference instead.
Note: If you want to connect two calls to each other using direct transfer, both calls must be on the
same line. If the calls are not on the same line, you will need to transfer one call to the other line,
and then you can use the DirTrfr feature.

Items to Consider for Conference Calls
ƒ
ƒ
Once the conference call initiator disconnects, no new conferees can be added
When you place a call on hold, the other callers will hear KUMR radio playing in the background.
Consider using the mute instead of hold to avoid disrupting other callers.
ƒ
ƒ
To abandon the addition of a conferee, press the Line button.
IP Phones have a built-in conference call manager that can handle up to three parties simultaneously.
If you need four parties on a line, then the conference call is handled on the network call manager,
which can cause a slight lag if numerous conference calls are occurring simultaneously.
You can see a list of participants in the conference call by pressing the more soft key followed by the
ConfList soft key. The initiator of the conference call will be marked with an asterisk (*). You can
remove a conference caller while viewing the conference caller list by using the SCROLL key to
highlight their name and then pressing the Remove soft key.
ƒ
Notes: To place a conference call on hold, press the Hold soft key (the other parties can talk among
themselves but they cannot hear you).
If you are using the Join soft key to create a conference call, all conferees must be on the same
line. You can use the Trnsfer soft key to transfer a call from one line to another and then add
them with the Join soft key.

same as the old voicemail system fee.
All Unified Messaging customers will need to go through the process of initializing their Unified Messaging
mailbox, as detailed below.

Appendix: Fast Dials and Speed Dials
In addition to all the standard features found within IP telephones, Cisco IP telephones allow customers to
have two separate lists of Fast Dials and Speed Dials—separate but related entities.
Fast Dials is a feature offered through the SERVICES button on all models of IP telephones. This is
composed of a list of contacts whose numbers you would like to store on your phone for easy reference.
By contrast, Speed Dials can be accessed simply by pressing a two-digit index code into the phone while
it is on-hook followed by pressing the AbbrDial soft key. Unlike Fast Dials, the phone does not display a
listing of Speed Dial index numbers, so you will need to know exactly who is associated with each index
number (it may be handy to compose a list and keep the list on or near the phone).
Note: Model 7911 phones have a separate “Speed Dials” feature accessed through the Directories
option in the Services menu (press the SERVICES button, scroll and select the Directories
option, then scroll down to the Speed Dials option). These speed dials are the first four speed
dial numbers programmed through the web interface (see below).
Fast Dials are useful for contacts whose numbers you need infrequently, but would like to be able to find
quickly, while Speed Dials are useful for contacts you call frequently and need at a moment’s notice (e.g.
the IT Solutions Center)
FAST DIALS
Fast Dials is a free subscription-only service available to all faculty and staff with an IP phone.
Adding in Fast Dials is essentially a four step process:
1. Subscribe to the service – unless you have already subscribed, you will not be able to make full
use of this functionality
2. Set up a personal address book – this step is not, strictly speaking, necessary, but it will make it
easier to use the Fast Dial feature.
3. Set up your Fast Dials – this is not the same as your Speed Dials!
4. Access your Fast Dials through your IP Phone – Use the SERVICES button
Subscribe to Fast Dial
1. Use your UMR userid.
2. The default password is “cisco”. As with all passwords, we recommend that you change this
password as soon as possible to one that matches UMR's strong password guidelines.
3. Click on Change your PIN – You must change your Cisco CallManager PIN before subscribing
to any services!
a. The default PIN is 123456. Your new PIN must be at least 6 digits long.
b. Click Update to finish changing your PIN
c. Click on Return to the Menu.
4. Click on Configure your Cisco IP Phone Services.
5. From the “Your Subscribed Services” menu on the left-hand side of the screen, click Fast Dials.
6. Enter your UMR userid again (if it is not already filled in)

password as soon as possible to one that matches UMR's strong password guidelines.

individual attached to that number.

Speed Dial 1 and “Solutions Center” in the Display Text field.

distance external numbers).
5. When you are done inputting all of your Speed Dial index numbers, click on Update at the bottom
of the page.
Notes: Since your phone does not show a list of speed dial index numbers and who each numbers is
associated with, it may be useful to print out this web page so that you can post the list near the

these four speed dial numbers can be accessed as described below, along with the remaining 95

etc.
