Installing and Configuring Cisco 7940/7960
Series IP Phones
Introduction
The 7940/7960 IP Phone models from Cisco provide easy-to-use displays, modern styles, and broad
ranges of features. The 7940 offers two lines, while the 7960 offers six lines for increased productivity.
The 7940 and 7960 are interoperable with ADTRAN’s NetVanta Enterprise Communications Server and
can be autodetected and configured with ease. The purpose of this technical note is to provide instructions
for installing and configuring Cisco phones with the NetVanta Enterprise Communications Server.
Known Integration Issues
There are no known integration issues at this time.
Enabling Cisco SIP Phone Configuration
This section describes how to install the Cisco configuration files and phone firmware so that Cisco 79x0
phones can be automatically detected and provisioned by the UC server.
Obtaining Firmware Upgrades
The UC server supports Cisco 79x0 session initiation protocol (SIP) firmware version P0S3-08-9-00.
ADTRAN does not distribute Cisco firmware, so you must obtain the firmware files from Cisco Systems
(http://www.cisco.com) or from your authorized Cisco reseller.
NOTE: You must have a maintenance contract with Cisco to access the firmware upgrades on Cisco’s
corporate website.
The firmware files obtained from Cisco must be comprised of the following:
P0S3-08-9-00.loads
P0S3-08-9-00.sb2
P0S3-08-9-00.bin
P0S3-08-9-00.sbn

Installing the Configuration Files
Included with this technical note is a folder containing configuration files and templates used by the UC
server to automatically detect and provision Cisco 79x0 Series telephones. This folder must be copied into
the UC server folder tree (along with the Cisco SIP firmware files as outlined above in Obtaining
Firmware Upgrades on page 1).
To install the configuration files:
1. Extract the Cisco folder from the .zip file titled Cisco (7940, 7960) Installation and Configuration
(P0S3-08-9-00) (located in the same directory as this document) and copy it under the
PhoneTypes folder located here:
X:\Program Files\ADTRAN\NetVanta UC Server\Data\System\PhoneTypes, where X is the
drive where the UC server program files are installed.
For example, the resultant path after the folder is copied (henceforth known as the Cisco
PhoneTypes folder) might appear as follows:
C:\Program Files\ADTRAN\NetVanta UC Server\Data\System\PhoneTypes\Cisco
2. Copy the Cisco SIP firmware files (as outlined in Obtaining Firmware Upgrades on page 1) into
the Cisco PhoneTypes folder.
CAUTION: Cisco phones will not automatically upgrade to the correct version if the firmware files
are not copied into the above folder. Failing to upgrade the phones to the correct version may result
in unexpected behavior and/or a loss of functionality.
3. Restart the NetVanta UC Server Application Service.
Select Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
Scroll down and select NetVanta UC Server Application Services.
Right-click the entry and select Restart.
