Cisco Small Business Pro SPA IP Phone 525G (SIP) User Guide 10 Getting Started Overview of the Cisco SPA525G IP Phone Overview of the Cisco SPA525G IP Phone 1 The Cisco SPA525G IP Phone is a full-featured VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone that provide voice communication over an IP network. It provides 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 speaker. The SPA525G phone is connected to the network through its Ethernet connection or the built-in Wireless-G connection. If you are using the Wireless-G connection, a separate power adapter (PA-100) is required. The SPA525G provides an additional Ethernet port that allows a computer to be connected to the network through the IP phone. (This option is only available when phone is connected to the network via the wired Ethernet connection). Unlike traditional phones, the Cisco SPA525G requires a separate power source. Either connect your phone to an Ethernet switch that provides Power over Ethernet

(PoE), or use a separate power adapter (PA-100).

Connecting Your Phone to the Wireless Network NOTE The PC port is not supported in wireless operation. The PC port is only supported in a wired operation. Cisco Small Business Pro SPA IP Phone 525G (SIP) User Guide 31 Installing Your Phone Connecting Your Phone to the Computer Network 2 The Cisco SPA 525G phone supports a direct connection to the wireless network. Before setting up the wireless network, you need to know the wireless security type for your router. The SPA525G works with the following security types:

WEPWired Equivalent Privacy. With this type of security, you need to enter a 64 or 128-bit key on the phone (or a more easily remembered passphrase to generate the key). The phone then authenticates with your router to provide a secure connection. WPAWi-Fi Protected Access. The SPA525G supports WPA PSK, WPA2 PSK, WPA Enterprise, and WPA2 Enterprise. With this type of security, you will at the very minimum be required to enter a password on the phone. The phone then authenticates with your router to provide a secure connection. Determining Your Wireless Router Security Type If you do not know your wireless router security type, you need to log in to the router interface to get this information. The steps below are written for a Linksys router, but procedures for other routers should be similar. STEP 1 Log in to your wireless routers web interface using a web browser. Your computer must be connected to your wireless network. Enter the IP address of the wireless router in the browser toolbar. STEP 2 If required, enter the user name and password. (By default, Linksys routers typically use admin for the user name and admin for the password.) STEP 3 View the Wireless tab or screen. Note the network name (SSID) and the type of security (WEP, WPA Personal, or WPA2 Personal). If your router is using WEP, note the following:

WEP encryption: 64 bit or 128 bit. You need to choose this later. Default transmit key, or TX key: The default key (of the 4) that the router transmits to authenticate. This value will be 1, 2, 3, or 4. Passphrase and keys: You choose one of two methods to enter the WEP key. You either directly enter the WEP key, or enter a more simple passphrase to generate the WEP key. Cisco Small Business Pro SPA IP Phone 525G (SIP) User Guide 32 Installing Your Phone Connecting Your Phone to the Computer Network 2 The following example shows WEP information for a Linksys WRV200 router:

If your router is using WPA, note the WPA shared key, or passphrase that you need to enter later. Cisco Small Business Pro SPA IP Phone 525G (SIP) User Guide 33 Installing Your Phone Connecting Your Phone to the Computer Network 2 The following example shows WPA information for a Linksys WRT160N router:

To set up the SPA525G wireless connection:

STEP 1 If you have plugged in an Ethernet cable to connect the phone to the wired network, remove it and reboot the phone. If an Ethernet connection is present on the phone, it is used instead of the Wi-Fi connection. STEP 2 Press the Setup button on your phone. STEP 3 Scroll to Network Configuration and press Select. STEP 4 In the Wi-Fi field, press the Left or Right Arrow key to turn Wi-Fi On. Press the Save softkey. Cisco Small Business Pro SPA IP Phone 525G (SIP) User Guide 34 Installing Your Phone Connecting Your Phone to the Computer Network 2 STEP 5 Scroll to Wi-Fi Configuration and press the Right Arrow key. Choose one of the following options:

Wireless ProfileUse this option to add a new wireless profile (either manually or by scanning for available networks), edit an existing wireless profile, or connect to a previously configured network. See Manually Adding a Wireless Profile on the SPA525G, page 36. Wi-Fi Protected SetupIf your wireless router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, use this method to set up your wireless connection. See Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup with the SPA525G, page 35. Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup with the SPA525G If your router has a WPS button, you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to add a new wireless network profile. STEP 1 In the Wireless Configuration screen, select Wi-Fi Protected Setup. STEP 2 Choose one of the following options:
