What’s in This Guide
8.5(3) or a later release, you must first upgrade your firmware to version 8.5(2). Once you have upgraded
to version 8.5(2), you can upgr ade you r Cisco Unified IP Phone to versi on 8.5(3) or a la ter rele ase.
See the Installation Notes section of the Cisco Unified IP Phone Relea se No tes for Firmware Release
8.5(3) (SCCP and SIP) for download instructions.
Configure the Cisco Unified IP phone as follows:
1. If option 150 of D HCP i s en able d— A lternative TFTP=NO
2. If you use manu al en try— Alte rnative TFTP=YES
For more information about the Cisco Unified IP Phone 797 0/797 5 series, ref er to the
Cisco Unified IP Phones 7900 Series Maintain and Operate Guides page at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379 /prod_m aintenance_guide s_list.html
Make sure the MAC address of the device you are installing is known or available:
• The MAC address comprises a unique 12 -chara cter hexade cimal number that iden tifies a
Cisco Unified IP phone or other hardware device.
• Locate the MAC address number on a label on the back of the Cisco TelePresence system primary
codec (for example, 000B6A409C405). Cisco Unified CM makes the MAC address a required field
for Cisco Unified IP phone device configuration.
The MAC address is also displayed on the CTS main display screen during boot-up.
NoteWhen entering the MAC address in Cisco Unified CM fields, do not use spaces or dashes, and
do not include any other char acters that may p recede th e MAC address on the label.
