Configuring Startup Network Settings
If you are not using DHCP in your network, you must configure these network
settings on the Cisco IP Phone after installing the phone on the network:
IP address
IP subnet mask
Default gateway IP address
Domain name
DNS server IP address
TFTP server IP address
Collect this information and see
Chapter 4, “Configuring Network Settings on the
Cisco IP Phone.”
Configuring Security on the Cisco IP Phone
Security protects against several threats, including threats to the identity of the
phone and to data. Security establishes and maintains authenticated
communication streams between the phone and the Cisco CallManager server,
and digitally signs files before they are delivered.
For more information about security, see the
“Understanding Security Features
for Cisco IP Phones” section on page 1-10
. Also, refer to
Cisco IP Phone Authentication and Encryption for Cisco CallManager 4.0(1).
The security feature requires that a Locally Significant Certificate (LSC) be
installed on the phone. You install an LSC using the Certificates menu on the
phone. This menu also lets you update or remove an LSC.
