The Cisco SPA IP Phones are full-featured VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones that provide voice communication over an IP network. The phones have 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.
NOTE: If you are calling phones located outside your IP network, you will need an Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) to provide VoIP service. You may also need additional equipment provided by your ITSP.

IP phones also have special features not available in traditional phones. The Cisco SPA IP phones contain Ethernet ports, or ports that allow them to be linked to the computer network. Some models have additional Ethernet ports that allow a computer to be connected to the network through the IP phone.
Unlike traditional phones, Cisco SPA IP phones require a separate power source. Some models use power adapters, and others can use Power over Ethernet (PoE). This means the phone can be connected to a switch that provides PoE to the phone, and does not require a separate power source.
The following table shows the Cisco SPA IP phones currently available and their respective features:

SPA922 IP Phone
The SPA922 provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) and an extra Ethernet port for connecting another device to the local area network. The PA-100 power supply must be ordered separately if you are not connecting the phone to a PoE source. The SPA921 is similar but does not support PoE (a PA-100 power supply is included with the SPA921).

The SPA932 is a 32-button attendant console for the SPA962 or SPA525, providing 32 three-color (red, green, and amber) programmable LEDS, with support for Broadsoft Busy Lamp Field and Asterisk Line Monitoring. The SPA932 attaches to the SPA962 or SPA525 with the attachment arm provided (not shown). It obtains power directly from the SPA962 or SPA525 and does not require a separate power supply. Two SPA932 units can be attached to a single SPA962 or SPA525 to monitor a total of 64 separate lines. For more information on the SPA932, see Chapter 6, “Using the SPA932 Attendant Console.”
Caring for Your Phone
The Cisco SPA 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.

Before You Begin
Before you install and connect your phone, verify with your System Administrator (if applicable) that the network is ready for the phone, read the safety notices, and make sure you have all the phone parts and documentation available.
NOTE: The RJ-11 port marked “AUX” is reserved for connection with the SPA932 Attendant Console that works with the SPA962. It is not for use as a telephone line port.
! |
CAUTION: Do not plug a telephone line cord |
|
into the port marked “AUX.” |
||
|
STEP 1 Find the end of the coiled phone cord that has the longer straightened end. Plug that end into the back of the phone base in the slot marked with a phone symbol. This port is labeled #5 on the Cisco SPA IP Phone Connections graphic.
STEP 2 Plug in the short straightened end of the handset cord into the jack at the bottom of the handset (not shown).

Connecting Your Phone’s Power
If you are using an external power source, push the power cord into the power supply, and plug the power supply into the phone base. See the Cisco SPA IP Phone Connections graphic, item, #2.
NOTE: The SPA922, SPA942, and SPA962 models do not ship with a power supply. If you are not using Power over Ethernet (PoE), you must order the PA-100 power supply separately from Cisco.
If you are using Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power the phone, the phone will receive power when you connect an Ethernet cable from the phone’s WAN port to a switch in your network that provides PoE. See the ”Connecting Your Phone to the Computer Network” section on page 20.

NOTE: If you are connecting your phone to a Wireless-G network using the Cisco WBP54G, see the ”Connecting the Phone to the Wireless Network” section on page 20.
Connecting Your Phone to the Computer Network
You connect your phone to the local network by using an Ethernet cable:
STEP 1 Plug the Ethernet cable into the back of the base station into the slot marked “WAN.” This port is labeled #4 on the Cisco SPA IP Phone Connections graphic.
STEP 2 Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the appropriate device on your network, such as a network switch.
NOTE: The SPA922, SPA942, and SPA962 models provide a second Ethernet port. You can connect a PC to this port to provide network access to the PC. This port is labeled #3 in the Cisco SPA IP Phone Connections graphic.
You can use the Cisco WBP54G Wireless-G Bridge for Phone Adapters to connect the SPA92X, SPA94X, or SPA962 phones to a Wireless-G network instead of the wired local network.
NOTE: This procedure requires the optional Cisco SPA9000 Voice System IP Phone PA-100 power adapter to provide power to the WBP54G.

To connect your phone to the Cisco WBP54G:
STEP 1 Configure the Cisco WBP54G using the Setup Wizard. See the instructions in the
Wireless-G Bridge for Phone Adapters Quick Installation Guide, available at www.cisco.com/go/smallbiz.
STEP 2 During the Setup Wizard process, connect the Ethernet network cable of the WBP54G to the back of the IP phone base station into the slot marked “WAN.” This port is labeled #4 on the Cisco SPA IP Phone Connections graphic.
Connect the power cable of the WBP54G to the power port on the IP phone base. See the Cisco SPA IP Phone Connections graphic, item #2.
STEP 3 Plug the Cisco SPA9000 Voice System IP Phone power adapter into the power port of the WBP54G.
STEP 4 Plug the other end of the Cisco SPA 9000 Voice System IP Phone power adapter into an electrical outlet.
Verifying Phone Startup
After receiving power and network connectivity, the phone executes a boot-up sequence. During this sequence, the display will first show Cisco® and then “Initializing Network”. All of the lights on the phone will flash. After the sequence, which should take about five seconds, the phone will display the standard menu for the phone. The date, name and number of the phone will display on the top line of the LCD screen. At the bottom of the LCD screen, softkeys are displayed over their associated soft buttons.
If the phone does not provide this screen, confirm your installation and connections. If these are correct, try unplugging the phone and plugging it back in again. If you still don’t see the display, then contact your Phone Administrator or Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP).

Upgrading Your Phone’s Firmware
Your phone ships with pre-installed firmware. However, later firmware versions may be available that add features and fix problems with your phone. You may need to upgrade your phone to the latest firmware for ideal performance.
IMPORTANT: If you are using your phone with ! an Internet Telephony Service Provider’s
system, do not upgrade your phone’s firmware without consulting your service provider. Your provider may automatically upgrade your phones without any action on your part necessary.
To upgrade your phone’s firmware, do one of the following:
•Download the firmware from the Cisco website and install it from your PC. See the following section for instructions.
•Upgrade using the Cisco SPA9000 Voice System Setup Wizard (if your phone is part of a Cisco SPA9000 Voice System network). See the Cisco SPA9000 Voice System Setup Wizard User Guide.
Go to www.cisco.com/go/smallbiz to download firmware.
Before you upgrade, you’ll need the IP address of the phone you are upgrading. To get your IP address:
STEP 1 Press the Setup button.
STEP 2 Scroll to Network and press Select.
STEP 3 Scroll to view Current IP. This is the IP address of your phone.

STEP 1 Extract the firmware onto your PC.
NOTE: If you are in a VPN connection, you may need to disconnect before proceeding so that your PC can communicate directly with your phone for the upgrade.
STEP 2 Run the executable file for the firmware upgrade (for example, double click upg- spa942-5-2-8.exe).
STEP 3 Click Continue after reading the message regarding upgrading and your service provider.
STEP 4 Enter the IP address of your phone.
STEP 5 Click OK. The system displays information about your phone’s current software and hardware.
STEP 6 Click Upgrade to begin the upgrade.
NOTE: Do not disconnect your phone’s power until the upgrade is complete (the lights on your phone are no longer blinking).
STEP 7 Click OK to dismiss the status message of the upgrade.
