Overview of the Cisco SPA525G IP Phone
1
The Cisco SPA525G IP Phone is a full-featured VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
phone that provide voice communication over an IP network. It provides 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 speaker.
The SPA525G phone is connected to the network through its Ethernet connection
or the built-in Wireless-G connection. If you are using the Wireless-G connection, a
separate power adapter (PA-100) is required. The SPA525G provides an additional
Ethernet port that allows a computer to be connected to the network through the
IP phone. (This option is only available when phone is connected to the network
via the wired Ethernet connection).
Unlike traditional phones, the Cisco SPA525G requires a separate power source.
Either connect your phone to an Ethernet switch that provides Power over Ethernet
(PoE), or use a separate power adapter (PA-100).

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
Wired Network” section on page 31.

Connecting Your Phone to the Wired Network
You connect your phone to the local network by using an Ethernet cable:
STEP 1Plug the Ethernet cable into the back of the base station into the slot marked “SW.”
This port is labeled #4 on Figure 1 on page 26.
STEP 2Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the appropriate device on your
network, such as a network switch.
NOTE:The SPA525G provides 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 SPA525G IP Phone
Connectionsgraphic. This port cannot be used
when the phone is connected to the network
via the built-in Wireless-G client.

NOTE The PC port is not supported in wireless operation. The PC port is only supported
in a wired operation.

Installing Your Phone
Connecting Your Phone to the Computer Network
The Cisco SPA 525G phone supports a direct connection to the wireless network.
Before setting up the wireless network, you need to know the wireless security
type for your router. The SPA525G works with the following security types:
•WEP—Wired Equivalent Privacy. With this type of security, you need to
enter a 64 or 128-bit key on the phone (or a more easily remembered
passphrase to generate the key). The phone then authenticates with your
router to provide a secure connection.
•WPA—Wi-Fi Protected Access. The SPA525G supports WPA PSK, WPA2
PSK, WPA Enterprise, and WPA2 Enterprise. With this type of security, you
will at the very minimum be required to enter a password on the phone. The
phone then authenticates with your router to provide a secure connection.
Determining Your Wireless Router Security Type
If you do not know your wireless router security type, you need to log in to the
router interface to get this information. The steps below are written for a Linksys
router, but procedures for other routers should be similar.
2
STEP 1Log in to your wireless router’s web interface using a web browser. Your computer
must be connected to your wireless network. Enter the IP address of the wireless
router in the browser toolbar.
STEP 2If required, enter the user name and password. (By default, Linksys routers
typically use “admin” for the user name and “admin” for the password.)
STEP 3View the Wireless tab or screen. Note the network name (SSID) and the type of
security (WEP, WPA Personal, or WPA2 Personal).
If your router is using WEP, note the following:
•WEP encryption: 64 bit or 128 bit. You need to choose this later.
•Default transmit key, or TX key: The default key (of the 4) that the router
transmits to authenticate. This value will be 1, 2, 3, or 4.
•Passphrase and keys: You choose one of two methods to enter the WEP
key. You either directly enter the WEP key, or enter a more simple
passphrase to generate the WEP key.

If your router is using WPA, note the WPA shared key, or passphrase that you need
to enter later.

To set up the SPA525G wireless connection:
STEP 1If you have plugged in an Ethernet cable to connect the phone to the wired
network, remove it and reboot the phone. If an Ethernet connection is present on
the phone, it is used instead of the Wi-Fi connection.

Uploading Security Certificates to the Phone
If you are using some types of wireless security (for example, WPA2 Enterprise),
you will need to upload security certificates to the phone. Certificates must be in
the following format:
•Root certificate: DER encoded binary x.509 (CER)
•User certificate: Personal Information Exchange (PKCS#12(.PFX))
STEP 1Connect a USB storage device to your PC.
STEP 2Create a directory named “ca” on the USB device and copy the certificate files into
that directory.
STEP 3Remove the USB device from your PC and insert it into the USB slot on the
SPA525G.
STEP 4After creating a wireless profile, in the Profile screen, press the Right Arrow key
under Security Mode to set the security options (WPA Enterprise or WPA2

STEP 7Press Save to save the profile.
Verifying Phone Startup
After receiving power and network connectivity, the phone executes a boot-up
sequence. During this sequence, the display shows the Cisco logo. 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 appear on the top line of the LCD screen. At the bottom of the
LCD screen, softkeys appear over their associated soft buttons.
2
If the phone does not display 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. Yo u r
provider may automatically upgrade your
phones without any action on your part
necessary.
