The Cisco IP Phone 7811 does not support a headset.
Note
Step 5
Connect a straight-through Ethernet cable from the switch to the network port labeled 10/100 SW on the Cisco
IP Phone (10/100/1000 SW on Cisco IP Phone 7841). Each Cisco IP Phone ships with one Ethernet cable in
the box.
Use Category 3, 5, 5e, or 6 cabling for 10 Mbps connections; Category 5, 5e, or 6 for 100 Mbps connections;
and Category 5e or 6 for 1000 Mbps connections. For more information, see
.
Step 6
Connect a straight-through Ethernet cable from another network device, such as a desktop computer, to the
computer port on the Cisco IP Phone. You can connect another network device later if you do not connect
one now.
Use Category 3, 5, 5e, or 6 cabling for 10 Mbps connections; Category 5, 5e, or 6 for 100 Mbps connections;
and Category 5e or 6 for 1000 Mbps connections. For more information, see
for guidelines.
Step 7
If the phone is on a desk, adjust the footstand. With a wall-mounted phone, you might need to adjust the
handset rest to ensure that the receiver cannot slip out of the cradle.
You cannot adjust the Cisco IP Phone 7811 footstand.
Note
Step 8
Monitor the phone startup process. This step verifies that the phone is configured properly.
Step 9
If you are configuring the network settings on the phone, you can set up an IP address for the phone by either
using DHCP or manually entering an IP address.
See
Configure the Network from the Phone, on page 36
Step 10
Upgrade the phone to the current firmware image.
Firmware upgrades over the WLAN interface may take longer than upgrading over the wired interface,
depending on the quality and bandwidth of the wireless connection. Some upgrades may take more than one
hour.
Step 11
Make calls with the Cisco IP Phone to verify that the phone and features work correctly.
See the
Cisco IP Phone 7800 Series User Guide
.
Step 12
Provide information to end users about how to use their phones and how to configure their phone options.
This step ensures that users have adequate information to successfully use their Cisco IP Phones.
