Cisco Model SPA 303 Quick Start Guide
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business IP phone. This guide describes how to install your phone and how to perform some
basic tasks.
1Installing Your IP Phone
Use this procedure to install the phone and connect it to your network.
Do not insert a telephone line cord into the port marked “AUX”.
Step 1. Turn the phone body over to expose the ports on the back of
the unit.
Step 2. Insert one end of the phone cord into the slot marked with a
phone symbol (the Handset Port). Insert the other end into the
jack at the bottom of the handset (not shown).
Step 3. (Optional) Connect the desk stand by lining up the tabs on
the desk stand with the slots on the back of the phone. Slide the
bottom tabs into the slots and lightly press down on the top of
the desk stand. It should easily slide into the top slots.
Do not force.
Step 4. If you are using an external power source, plug one end of the power cord into the building’s power outlet and insert the other end of
the power cord into the phone base.
Step 5. Connect your phone to the network using an Ethernet Connection. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the network port on
the phone body marked “SW.” Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into the appropriate device, such as a network switch, on
your network.
Step 6. (Optional) To provide network access to a PC, connect one end of an additional Ethernet cable (not provided) to the PC port on the
back of the phone body. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the network port on your PC.
Step 7. (Optional) To install the phone on a vertical surface, use the Cisco MB100 Wall Mount bracket. See the Cisco Small Business IP Phone
SPA 50X User Guide (SIP) or the Cisco Unied Communications Manager Express for the Cisco Small Business IP Phone SPA 50X
documents on www.cisco.com for more information. The Where to Go From Here section contains links to the documentation area
