Configuring Remote Agent with IP Phone

Provision the remote agent PC and IP Phone on the IPCC central site to ensure operability before distributing
it to a remote agent site.

At a remote agent site, connect the agent desktop to the RJ45 port on the back of the IP Phone.

Note: The IP Phone and agent desktop PC get their network settings from DHCP.

Create a DNS entry for the remote agent desktop; otherwise, an agent will not be able to connect to a CTI server.
DNS entries can be dynamically updated or entered as static updates.

Configure the agent desktop PC at the remote site with an IP address, network mask, DNS, and default gateway
configured for DHCP.

Make sure the 7960 IP Phone has a power supply. (The Cisco 8xx Series Router will not supply power to the
IP Phone.)

Critical remote agents must have a backup power supply. The backup power supply must be able to power a
PC, an 831 Router, a broadband modem, and an IP Phone.
