Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phone Understanding the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and 7941G/7941G-GE Components Handset - labeled 10/100/1000 SW on the 7961G-GE and 7941G-GE • Access port - labeled 10/100 PC on the 7961G and 7941G - labeled 10/100/1000 PC on the 7961G-GE and 7941G-GE Each port supports 10/100 Mbps or 10/100/1000 half- or full-duplex connections to external devices. You can use either Category 3 or 5 cabling for 10 Mbps connections, but you must use Category 5 for 100 and 1000 Mbps connections. Use the SW network port to connect the phone to the network. You must use a straight-through cable on these ports. The phone can also obtain inline power from a switch over these connections. See the "Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database" section on page 2-14 for details. Use the PC access port to connect a network device, such as a computer, to the phone. You must use a straight-through cable on this port. The handset is designed especially for use with a Cisco Unified IP Phone. It includes a light strip that indicates incoming calls and voice messages waiting. To connect a handset to the Cisco Unified IP Phone, remove the hookswitch clip (see illustration below) from the cradle area. Then plug the cable into the handset and into the Handset port on the back of the phone.
