Overview of the Cisco Small Business Pro IP Phones

The Cisco Small Business Pro IP Phones are full-featured VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones that provide voice communication over an IP network. The phones provide traditional features, such as call forwarding, redialing, speed dialing, transferring calls, conference calling and accessing voice mail. Calls can be made or received with a handset, headset or over a speaker.

IP phones also have special features not available in traditional phones. The Cisco Small Business Pro IP phones contain Ethernet ports, or ports that allow them to be linked to the computer network. They also have additional Ethernet ports that allow a computer to be connected to the network through the IP phone.

Unlike traditional phones, Cisco Small Business Pro IP phones require a separate power source. You can power the phones by connecting them to a switch that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE), or by using an optional PA100 power adapter.

The following table shows the Cisco Small Business Pro IP Phones covered in this document and their respective features:

Below is a partial listing of softkey buttons that may be available on your phone. You may not have all of these softkey buttons on your phone, and you may have additional buttons that are not listed here. For example, your phone administrator may also provide custom softkey buttons on your phone, such as buttons that provide a speed dial to a company number, or that access a specialized program that runs on your phone. Contact your phone administrator for more information.

Using Keypad Shortcuts

When using the phone menus, you can use the keypad to enter the number shown next to the menu or sub-menu item on the LCD screen. (Not applicable to the Cisco SPA 501G.)

For example, to obtain your IP address on the Cisco SPA 504G, press the Setup button and dial 9.

The IP address is displayed on the Network screen.

NOTE Menus and options vary depending on phone model.

Cisco SPA 500S Attendant Console

The Cisco SPA 500S is a 32-button attendant console for the Cisco Small Business Pro IP phones, providing 32 three-color (red, green, and amber) programmable LEDS, with support for Broadsoft Busy Lamp Field and Asterisk Line Monitoring. The Cisco SPA 500S attaches to the IP phone with the attachment arm provided (not shown). It obtains power directly from the IP phone and does not require a separate power supply. Two Cisco SPA 500S units can be attached to a single IP phone to monitor a total of 64 separate lines. For more information on the Cisco SPA 500S, see Chapter 6, ???Using the Cisco SPA 500S Attendant

Console.???

Caring for Your Phone

The Cisco Small Business Pro IP phones are electronic devices that should not be exposed to excessive heat, sun, cold or water. To clean the equipment, use a slightly moistened paper or cloth towel. Do not spray or pour cleaning solution directly onto the hardware unit.
