Understanding the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G Components Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phone Use the SW network port to connect the phone to the network. You must use a straight-through cable on this port. The phone can also obtain inline power from a switch over this connection. See the "Providing Power to the Phone" section on page 2-4 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. Handset The handset is designed especially for use with the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G. It includes a light strip that indicates incoming calls and voice messages waiting. To connect a handset to the Cisco Unified IP Phone, plug the cable into the handset and the Handset port on the back of the phone. Note The handset does not support wideband audio. Speakerphone By default, the speakerphone is enabled on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G. You can disable the speakerphone through the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration application. To do so, choose Device > Phone and locate the phone you want to modify. In the Phone Configuration web page for the phone, check the Disable Speakerphone check box. Headset Although Cisco Systems performs some internal testing of third-party headsets for use with the Cisco Unified IP Phones, Cisco does not certify or support products from headset or handset vendors. Because of the inherent environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where Cisco Unified IP Phones are deployed, there is not a single "best" solution that is optimal for all environments. Cisco recommends that customers test the headsets that work best in their environment before deploying a large number of units in their network.
