Installing the Cisco IP Phone 7910 Series
Before you can successfully install the phone, your system administrator must prepare the network for your phone. If a technician is not installing your phone, verify with the system administrator that the network is ready for the phone, read the safety notices, and install the phone.

Safety Notices
These are the safety considerations for using the Cisco IP Phone. Read these notices before installing or using the phone.
Warning This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.
Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
The next warning applies when you use an external power supply.
Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (over current) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
Warning The device is designed to work with TN power systems.
Installing the Phone and Connecting to the Network
Before installing the phone, read the safety warnings in the "Safety Notices" section.
Refer to Figure 2-1 for an overview about how to connect the Cisco IP Phone 7910 Series telephone to your PC, the network, and a power source. All ports are located at the rear of the phone base unit.
Figure 2-1 Cisco IP Phone 7910 Series Telephone Cable Connections
Use this procedure to install the phone on a network that has already been prepared to host the phone.
Step 1 Connect an Ethernet cable to the network port on the phone.
Use the Ethernet cable supplied in the box with your Cisco IP phone. If you need a longer cable, contact your system administrator.
Step 2 Connect the handset to its port. Clip the cord into the slot to the right of the port.
Step 3 Connect the power plug to the DC48V AC adapter port (optional).
The Cisco IP Phone 7910 Series telephone can be powered by several different methods. If you are not sure how your phone is receiving power, ask your system administrator.
After the telephone has power connected to it, the phone begins its startup process. Once completed, the main LCD screen appears, displaying the phone's extension (or directory number) and the current date and time. If the phone does not start up successfully, contact your system administrator for help.
Step 4 If your phone has an access port, you can connect your computer to the phone using an Ethernet cable to enable your computer to access the network through the Cisco IP Phone. Your company might choose this option if you do not have multiple Ethernet ports in your work space.
However, this option is not available on all Cisco IP Phone 7910 Series models. If your phone does not have an access port, you cannot connect a network device to the phone.
Step 5 Push in the footstand adjustment knob and adjust the footstand to the desired height that makes using the display and buttons most comfortable for you.
You can also mount the telephone on the wall using the mounting holes on the footstand. Adjust the footstand so that it lies flat against the phone body. There is an optional locking mount kit if you are mounting the phone in a public location; contact your system administrator if you want to use a locking wall mount.
Step 6 If you mount the phone on a wall, or have the phone close to vertical on your desk, adjust the handset rest so that the handset hooks onto it. Figure 2-2 shows how to do this.

Slide the tab back into the handset rest with the extension protruding from the top of the tab.
Replace the handset in the rest. The tab hooks into a slot in the handset to ensure that the handset will not slip out of the rest.

Step 7 If your system administrator asks you to auto-register your telephone, see the "Auto-Registering Your Phone Using TAPS" section for instructions.
Auto-Registering Your Phone Using TAPS
Your administrator may ask you to auto-register your Cisco IP Phone using TAPS, the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support. TAPS might be used either for a new phone or to replace an existing phone.
Note Only follow this procedure if your phone administrator asks you to.
Procedure
Step 1 If the phone is not already installed, see the "Installing the Phone and Connecting to the Network" section for instructions on installing the phone available.
After you plug the phone into a port, the phone automatically registers and displays a number.
Step 2 Dial the TAPS extension provided by your system administrator.
Step 3 Follow the voice prompts to enter your personal extension number (provided by your system administrator), followed by #. Listen to the voice prompts to determine if you need to enter the entire number, including area code.
Step 4 Hang up the phone.
The phone resets and displays your extension number.
