2 Installing Your IP Phone
This guide is intended to show you how to install
your phone and describes how to use some of
the basic functions and features. The features
available on your phone depend on the type
of system to which your phone is connected.
Your phone system might not provide all of the
features mentioned in this document. Contact
your phone system administrator for questions
about phone features.
Use these procedures to install the phone and
connect it to your network.

STEP 1
Turn the phone body over to expose the ports on
the back of the unit.
Caution
Do not insert a telephone line cord into
the auxiliary port.
STEP 2
Insert the long end of the phone cord into the
handset port on the phone body that is marked
with a phone symbol.
STEP 3
(Optional) Route the phone cord through the
cable slot.
STEP 4
Insert the other end of the phone cord into the
port at the bottom of the handset (not shown).
STEP 5
(Optional) Connect the phone stand by lining up
the tabs on the stand with the slots on the phone
body. 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.
STEP 6
If you are using an external power source, insert
one end of the power cord into an outlet and
insert the other end of the power cord into the
power port on the phone body.
STEP 7
Connect your phone to the network:
• Using an Ethernet Connection—Insert
one end of the Ethernet cable into the
network port on the phone body marked
“SW.” Insert the other end of the Ethernet
cable into the appropriate device, such as a
network switch, on your network.
• Using a Wireless Connection—You can use
a Cisco WBP54G Wireless-G Bridge with the
IP phone to create a wireless connection
between the phone and the network. See
the WBP54G documentation on Cisco.com
for more information (see the list of links at
the end of this document).

(not provided) to the PC port on the back of
the phone body. Connect the other end of the
Ethernet cable to the network port on your PC.
STEP 9
(Optional) To install the phone on a vertical
surface, use the Cisco MB100 Wall Mount bracket.

SPA50X User Guide (SIP) or the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Express for the Cisco
Small Business Pro IP Phone SPA50X documents

of links at the end of this document.)
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 the SPA502G, you should hear a dial tone
when picking up the handset or pressing the
speakerphone button, and the LCD screen
displays a phone icon next to the extension
number.
