Welcome - Cisco UC320W Administration Manual

Goal: Connect all devices
At this point in the Getting Started process, you can install the phones, Cisco SPA8800 IP telephony
gateways, and computers. Use Ethernet cables to connect these devices directly to the Cisco UC320W
LAN ports, or connect an Ethernet switch to a LAN port and then connect the devices to the LAN ports of
the switch. After the devices are detected, status information appears on the screen. This process may
take some time.
When you are finished connecting devices, click All Devices Connected.
Note: Cisco recommends using a Cisco ESW500 Series Ethernet Switch with Power over Ethernet.
Other switches may be used but may require configuration of VLAN and QoS settings. The default Voice
VLAN is VLAN 100. The default Voice VLAN Subnet is 10.1.1.x. For more information about deployment
options, see the Smart Designs.
Caution: If you are using another device as the DHCP server for your LAN, do not connect devices until
you complete the Network Topology task.

Welcome

In the Configuration module, the interface guides you step by step through the configuration process.
Before you begin, you should read the information below to become familiar with the navigation and data
entry features.
IMPORTANT: The settings are not applied to the devices until you apply the configuration. If you close
the configuration module without applying the configuration or saving your settings, any unsaved
changes are abandoned.
Navigation for a New Configuration
• Order of tasks: When creating a new configuration, you must proceed through the steps in the
prescribed order. Click Next to advance to the next step, or click Back to return to the previous
page. Use the links in the navigation tree to return to any page that you viewed previously. Links
are unavailable for pages that you have not yet viewed.
• Omitting steps: On most configuration pages, if you are unsure or not ready to enter the
settings, you can click Next to skip that step. You can return to those tasks in later sessions, as
needed. Error messages will appear if you attempt to skip a required step.
• Navigation tree icons: Icons appear in the navigation tree to indicate the status of each
configuration task:
• Blue flag: Changes were made.
• Red X: There are validation errors on this page. You cannot apply the configuration until all
errors are fixed.
• Summary pages: At the end of each section, a Summary page appears. You can review the
settings from each page within the section. Hyperlinks make it easy to jump to a page and
change the settings. The system automatically saves your settings after you click Next.
• Automatic saving of a new configuration: For a new configuration, the AUTOSAVE feature
automatically saves your settings as you advance from each Summary page. You also can save
your session by clicking the Save button in the menu bar.
• Returning to the Getting Started menu: Until you apply the configuration, you can return to the
Getting Started menu by clicking Getting Started in the menu bar.
• Starting over: To restart in initial setup mode, click the New button in the menu bar. Note:
Creating a new configuration will remove all of your configuration settings. No changes will be

default settings, press and hold the Reset button for 10 seconds.
