Configuring Startup Network Settings
If you are not using DHCP in your network, you must configure these network
settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phone after installing the phone on the network:
• IP address
• IP subnet mask
• Default gateway IP address
• TFTP server IP address
You may also configure these optional settings as necessary:
• Domain name
• DNS server IP address
Collect this information and see the instructions in Chapter 4, “Configuring
Settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phone.”
Configuring Security on the Cisco Unified IP Phone
The security features protect against several threats, including threats to the
identity of the phone and to data. These features establish and maintain
authenticated communication streams between the phone and the
Cisco Unified CallManager server, and digitally sign files before they are
delivered.
