Overview of the Cisco Small Business IP Phones
The Cisco Small Business IP Phones are full-featured VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones that provide voice communication over an IP network. The phones include 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 a speaker.
The Cisco Small Business IP phones contain Ethernet ports that link them to the computer network. They also have secondary Ethernet ports that allow another Ethernet device, such as a computer, to be connected to the network through the IP phone.
Cisco Small Business 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 the optional a Cisco PA100 power adapter.
The Cisco Small Business IP phones are electronic devices that should not be exposed to excessive heat, sun, cold, or water. To clean the equipment, wipe it with a slightly moistened paper or cloth towel. Do not spray or pour cleaning solution directly onto the device.

NOTE Menus and options vary depending on phone model.
Using the Cisco Attendant Console
The Cisco Attendant Consoles are accessory consoles for the Cisco SPA500 Series IP phones. The Cisco SPA500S provides 32 three-color (red, green, and orange) programmable line buttons, and the Cisco SPA500DS provides 30 buttons. The Cisco Attendant Console attaches to the IP phone with the attachment arm provided. It obtains power directly from the IP phone; it does not require a separate power supply. Two Cisco Attendant Console units can be attached to a single IP phone to monitor a total of 64 (SPA500S) or 60 (SPA500DS) separate lines.
Detailed information on the installation of the Cisco Attendant Consoles are provided in the Cisco Small Business SPA500S Attendant Console Quick Start Guide and the Cisco Small Business SPA500DS 15-Button Digital Attendant Console for SPA500 Family Phones Quick Start Guide.
Configuration of the Cisco Attendant Console and assignment of the line buttons is typically performed by the phone system administrator and is not described in this document. The Cisco Attendant Console can be configured by using the same web configuration utility for the IP phone to which the Cisco Attendant Console is attached. See the Cisco SPA300 Series, SPA500 Series, and WIP310 Administration Guide on Cisco.com for more information.
The Cisco SPA500DS provides a backlit LCD display. The backlight is controlled by the backlight settings of the phone display and is not separately configurable; that is, the Cisco SPA500DS display is lit when the phone display is lit, and is off when the phone display is off.

Installing the Desk Stand or Wall Mount (Optional)
The phone can be set on a flat surface, such as a desk, or mounted to a wall. This section describes the installation of the desk stand. If you are attaching a
Cisco SPA500S or SPA500DS attendant console, attach the console before attaching the desk stand.
To mount the phone to the wall, you must use the MB100 wall mount bracket kit (available separately). Do not attach the desk stand if you intend to mount the phone to the wall. To mount the phone on the wall, follow the instructions included with the wall mount.
To install the desk stand:
STEP 1 Connect the phone stand by lining up the tabs on the stand with the slots on the phone body.
STEP 2 Slide the bottom tabs into the lower slots on the phone body and lightly press down on the stand. It should easily slide into the upper stand slots. Do not force it.
Reverse the Handset Retention Tab
If you mount the phone to a vertical surface, such as a wall, you must reverse the handset retention tab on the phone body so that the handset does not fall off the phone when it is placed on the cradle.
STEP 1 Push the latch in.
STEP 2 Slide the retention tab up until it detaches from the phone.

STEP 3 Rotate the tab 180° and re-insert into the phone base. The tab now catches the slot in the handset when the handset is placed onto the cradle.
Connecting the Power
The Cisco 500 Series IP phones do not ship with power supplies. If you are not using Power over Ethernet (PoE), you must order a Cisco PA100 power supply for each phone.
If you are using Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power the phone, the phone receives power when you connect an Ethernet cable from the phone SW port to a switch that provides PoE. If you are using a Cisco PA100 power adapter, insert one end of the power adapter into an outlet and insert the other end into the power port on the phone body.

|
Connecting Your Phone to the Network
The phone can be connected to the network by using a Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable or through a wireless network connection.
To connect the phone by using an Ethernet cable:
STEP 1 Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the network port on the RJ-45 phone port marked “SW.”
STEP 2 Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into the device, such as a switch.
Connecting the Phone to the Wireless Network
You can use a wireless device, such as a Cisco Wireless-N Bridge for Phone Adapters (WNBP), to connect the IP phone to a wireless network. This example procedure requires the Cisco PA100 power adapter to provide power to the Cisco WNBP. Cisco does not recommend connecting a PC to the network by using the phone when it is operating wirelessly.
To connect your phone to the Cisco WNBP:
STEP 1 Configure the Cisco WNBP by using the Setup Wizard.
STEP 2 When instructed to do so by the Setup Wizard, insert the Ethernet cable of the wireless bridge into the RJ-45 phone port marked SW, located on the back of the IP phone base station.
STEP 3 Connect the power cable of the Cisco WNBP to the power port on the phone base.
STEP 4 Connect one end of the IP phone power adapter into the power port of the wireless bridge.
STEP 5 Connect the other end of the IP phone power adapter into an electrical outlet.

A PC can be connected to the network through the phone. Cisco does not recommend connecting a PC to the phone if the phone is connected to the network wirelessly.
To connect a PC to your phone:
STEP 1 To provide network access to a PC, connect one end of a Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable (not provided) to the PC port on the back of the phone body. See Figure 1.
STEP 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on your PC.
The IP phones support headsets from different manufacturers. For a list of supported models, contact your reseller. Additional information can be found at the manufacturer websites.
Each brand and type of headset might require different steps for connection. Consult the documentation for your particular headset for more information. In general, to connect a headset:
•Wireless—Connect the headset telephone cord into the telephone port on the back of the IP Phone.

Verifying Phone Startup
After receiving power and network connectivity, the phone executes a boot-up sequence. During this sequence, phones with screens display the Cisco logo and then Initializing Network. All of the lights on the phone flash.
After your phone is successfully connected to the network and receives a basic configuration, your phone line keys should glow green (on models with phone line keys).
On models with screens, the phone displays the standard menu for the phone. The date, name and number of the phone display on the top line of the IP phone screen. At the bottom of the IP phone screen, softkeys are displayed over their associated soft buttons.

On models with no screen, such as the Cisco SPA501G, the lines glow green and you hear a dial tone when picking up the handset or pressing the speakerphone button.
If the phone does not start, confirm your installation and connections. If these are correct, try unplugging the phone and plugging it back in again. If you still do not see the display, contact your phone administrator or Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP).
Updating Your Phone Firmware
Your phone ships with pre-installed firmware. However, later firmware versions might be available that add features and fix problems with your phone. It is necessary to use the latest firmware for ideal performance.
!
CAUTION If you are using your phone with an Internet Telephony Service Provider system, do not update your phone firmware without consulting your service provider. Your provider can automatically update your phones without any action on your part necessary.
To update your phone firmware, do one of the following:
•Download the firmware from Cisco.com and install it from your PC. (See the next section for instructions.)
•Update by using the Cisco Voice System Setup Wizard (for example, if your phone is part of a Cisco Voice System network). See the Cisco Voice System Setup Wizard User Guide.
