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.
These sections help you install the Cisco IP Phone 7910 Series telephone:

Warning
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national
laws and regulations.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
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.

Installing the Phone and Connecting to the Network
Before installing the phone, read the safety warnings in the “Safety Notices”
section on page 2-1.
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.

Step 1
Step 2
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.
Connect the handset to its port. Clip the cord into the slot to the right of the port.

Installing the Phone and Connecting to the Network
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
Step 6
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.
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.

How to Use the Handset and Speaker
You can place calls with the handset or speaker, but you can only talk to your party
through the handset. Through the speaker, you can only listen to a call. These
sections describe the use of the handset and speaker and how to adjust the volume
of the call:
•

•
•
Using the Handset, page 3-2
Using the Speaker, page 3-2
Adjusting the Handset Volume, page 3-3
Adjusting the Speaker Volume, page 3-3
Using the Handset
To place and answer calls with the handset, simply lift the handset. To change
from handset to speaker, press Speaker and hang up the handset.
Using the Speaker
The speaker is designed to be used for “hands-free” dialing. You can use it to
place a call, and then pick up the handset if the other party answers the phone.
The speaker does not allow for two-way communication. However, you can have
the handset off-hook with the speaker on, enabling the calling party to hear you
over the handset while you listen through the speaker. You might want to do this
if you want to use the phone for conference calls.
To place calls using the speaker, press Speaker and dial the number. When the
party answers, pick up the handset. If the handset is off-hook with the Speaker
button enabled, you can speak into it, allowing the calling party to hear you. This
allows others to listen to both sides of the conversation.
If you are only listening to a call, you can leave the handset in the rest. The mute
button automatically lights, indicating that the calling party cannot hear you.
When finished with the call, press Speaker to hang up.
Note
You cannot use the speaker to transmit your voice.

Redialing the Last Number Dialed
To redial the most recently dialed number, lift the handset and press the redial
button.
Redial is an optional feature configured by your system administrator. Although
your phone supports this feature by default, your system administrator might have
removed this feature from your phone.
Parking a Call
You can store or “park” a call at a specified number and then use any other phone
(for example, a phone in someone else’s office or in a conference room) to retrieve
the call.
Call Park is an optional feature configured by your system administrator; your
phone does not support this feature by default. Call Park is only available if your
system administrator configured your phone to support it.
Step 1
Step 2
During an active call, press the park button.
The display shows the number to which the call is parked.
Make a note of the Call Park number and then hang up. The call is now parked at
that number, allowing you to retrieve it from another phone.

the parked call before it disconnects. See your system
administrator for more information.
Step 3
To retrieve the parked call from any phone in the Cisco CallManager system, dial
the Call Park number at which the call was parked.

Establishing Meet-Me Conference Calls
A Meet-Me conference allows other callers to dial into the conference call. The
ability to make Meet-Me conference calls with your telephone is an optional

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Press the Line button.

You can also join Meet-Me conference calls established by other people. To join
a Meet-Me conference, dial the Meet-Me conference number provided by the
Meet-Me conference initiator. Do not press the Meet-Me button to simply join a
call. You are connected to the conference once the conference initiator has dialed
in and established the conference.
Using Call Pickup
Call pickup allows you to answer a call that comes in on a telephone extension
other than your own. When you hear an incoming call ringing on another phone,
you can redirect the call to your phone by using the call pickup feature.
There are two types of call pickup available on Cisco IP Phones:
•
Call Pickup—For picking up incoming calls within your own group. The
appropriate call pickup group number is dialed automatically when you
choose this feature. See the “Picking Up Calls in Your Group” section on
page 3-11.
•
Group Call Pickup—For picking up incoming calls within your own group or
in other groups. You must dial the appropriate call pickup group number
when using this feature. See the “Picking Up Calls Outside of Your Group”
section on page 3-11.

Picking Up Calls in Your Group
Call Pickup allows you to pick up incoming calls within your own group. When
you activate Call Pickup, it automatically dials the call pickup group number
associated with the line you selected on your phone. If there is a call coming in
on another telephone number in that same group, the call immediately begins
ringing on your line. If there is more than one incoming call in the pickup group,
then you receive the first unanswered call. If there are no unanswered calls in the
group when you activate Call Pickup, your phone is placed back on hook.

or in other groups. You must dial the appropriate call pickup group number when

you dialed, that call immediately begins ringing on your line. If there is more than
one incoming call in the pickup group, then you receive the first unanswered call.

group number, you receive a fast busy tone.
