Page of 2
Step 3
Attach the Cisco VXC 2111 client to the 
slots previously reserved for the footstand. 
(See 1 below.)
Step 4
On the phone, if a protective insert is 
installed in the accessory connector, 
remove the covering. (See [1] the accessory 
connector and [2] the USB port below.))
Step 5
Connect the client cable connector to the 
accessory connector and adjoining USB 
port on the phone. Make sure both are 
firmly connected.
Step 6
Use DVI-I cables to connect the monitors 
to the DVI-I outputs on the edge of the 
client. For VGA monitors, use 
VGA-to-DVI-I adapters. For a single 
monitor, use the outer DVI-I output. 
Step 7
Connect the keyboard and mouse to the 
USB ports adjacent to the display ports.
Step 8
Connect the 6-inch RJ-45 network cable 
from the COMPUTER port on the phone 
to the client Ethernet port. 
Step 9
Reattach the power cable (if applicable) to 
the phone. 
Note
Depending on your configuration, you 
may need to connect the phone to either a 
Cisco Power Cube 4 or to an 
802.3AT-compliant Power over Ethernet 
port to meet the added power 
requirements of the client.
Step 10
Reconnect the network cable into the 
phone port labeled “NETWORK”.
Step 11
Turn the phone to the upright position and 
turn it on.
Step 12
To turn on the client, press the power 
button for 1 to 2 seconds. When the unit 
powers up, the power button turns to 
white. (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 13
To sign in, see your system administrator.

Caution Statements
Improper connection, mounting, or use of this 
product could result in component failure or 
undesired interference. Read the following caution 
statements before setting up and operating the 
Cisco VXC 2111/2211 client.
Setup
Caution
Do not connect the Cisco VXC 2211 
to AC power until all other 
connections (including the power 
adapter) are made. With the Cisco 
VXC 2111, do not connect the Cisco 
Power Cube 4 to the phone until all 
other connections are made. 
Connecting or disconnecting 
components or equipment when the 
Cisco VXC 2211 client is receiving 
AC power can cause power surges and 
damage the device.
Caution
Do not force a connector into its 
socket. If any undue resistance is 
encountered, ensure that the 
connector is correctly oriented to the 
receptacle.
Venting and care
Caution
Mount the Cisco VXC 2111 client 
only as shown. Improper orientation 
could inhibit the dissipation of heat 
from the device and damage it.
Caution
Allow sufficient space around the 
Cisco VXC 2111/2211 client for 
ventilation; do not place the device in 
any enclosure that restricts airflow 
around the device; do not place any 
objects on the device.
Power sources
Caution
To ensure regulatory compliance, use 
only the Cisco Power Cube 4. 
Warning
Use of power adapter other than the 
Cisco Power Cube 4 may damage your 
device or the power adapter. The 
damage caused by an improper power 
adapter is not covered by warranty.
Caution
If you power the Cisco VXC 2211 
client using PoE, the equipment is to 
be connected only to PoE networks 
without routing to the outside plant. 
Caution
When turning off the Cisco VXC 
2111/2211 client, be sure to perform a 
complete shutdown (using the power 
button). Do not disconnect the AC 
power cord, Power over Ethernet 
cable, or shut off power at a circuit 
breaker (including power strips) to 
turn off the device.
Caution
Surge protectors for electrical devices 
are recommended in areas of 
lightning. However, when lightning is 
occurring, your equipment should be 
properly shut down and unplugged 
from AC power until the storm has 
passed.
Caution
Be very careful to not interrupt power 
while the Cisco VXC 2111/2211 
client is downloading a software 
update.
