Initial Environment Setup
The Cisco Virtualization Experience Client (VXC) 
2112 and 2212 are workstation-class virtualization 
clients for use with the Independent Computing 
Architecture (ICA). The ICA protocol is designed 
to deliver a user desktop from a centralized host 
server across standard IP networks, enabling you 
to use applications and desktop peripherals as if 
you were using them locally.
This guide will help you to set up the Cisco VXC 
2112/2212 and establish a remote connection to 
your ICA host server. To use the client, you must 
first have a properly installed ICA environment.
Before you install the client, read all Caution 
Statements.

Install the Cisco VXC 2212
The Cisco VXC 2212 clients are standalone units. 
Unlike the Cisco VXC 2112, they are not mounted 
to any Cisco Unified IP Phone. 
Perform the following steps to install the VXC 
2212.
Step 1
Connect the network cable into the 
Ethernet port on the back of the unit.
Step 2
Use a DVI-D cable to connect the monitor 
to the DVI-D output. For a VGA monitor, 
connect a VGA cable to the VGA output.

Step 3
Connect the keyboard and mouse to the 
USB ports on the back of the client.
Step 4
If your system administrator has provided 
you a Cisco Power Cube 4, connect it to 
the client. Otherwise, power may be 
provided via Power over Ethernet. If no 
power is available at bootup, check with 
your system administrator.
Step 5
To turn on the client, press the power 
button for 1 to 2 seconds. When the unit 
powers up, the light at the base of the unit 
turns from orange (off) to white (on). (To 
power off the unit, press the same button 
and hold for 8 seconds or longer). After 
the display initially appears, it may go 
blank for a short time (20 seconds) and 
then redisplay.
Step 6
To sign in, see your system administrator.

Perform the following steps to connect the Cisco 
VXC 2112 to a Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961, 9951, 
or 9971. 
Step 1
On the phone, disconnect the power cable 
(if applicable) and the network cable. 
Step 2
On the back of the phone, remove the 
footstand: hold the phone by the top with 
one hand, and with the other hand, push 
the footstand firmly to disconnect it. If any 
remaining wires (such as a headset) go 
through the footstand, disconnect the 
wires, remove the footstand, and 
reconnect the wires to the phone.
