Cisco Small Business IP Phone SPA 525G/SPA 525G2 (SPCP) User Guide
If you are using Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power the phone, the phone will
receive power when you connect an Ethernet cable from the phone's SW port to a
switch in your network that provides PoE. See the
Wired Network" section on page

Connecting Your Phone to the Wired Network

You connect your phone to the local network by using an Ethernet cable:
Plug the Ethernet cable into the back of the base station into the slot marked "SW."
This port is labeled #4 on
Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the appropriate device on your
network, such as a network switch.
The Cisco SPA 525G/525G2 provides a second Ethernet port. You can connect a
PC to this port to provide network access to the PC. This port is labeled #4 in the
Cisco SPA 525G/525G2 IP Phone Connections
when the phone is connected to the network via the built-in Wireless-G client.

Connecting Your Phone to the Wireless Network

The PC port is not supported in wireless operation. The PC port is only supported
in a wired operation.
The Cisco SPA 525G/525G2 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 phone works with the following security types:
• WEP—Wired 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.
• WPA—Wi-Fi Protected Access. The phone 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.
