Step 6
Associate a user to a user group. Assigns users a common list of roles and permissions that apply to all users
in a user group. Administrators can manage user groups, roles, and permissions to control the level of access
(and, therefore, the level of security) for system users.
Note
For more information, see the following sections in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
Guide:
• End User Configuration Settings section in the "End User Configuration" chapter.
• Adding Users to a User Group section in the "User Group Configuration" chapter.
Step 7
Associate a user with a phone. Provides users with control over their phone for actions such as forwarding
calls or adding speed-dial numbers or services.
Note
For more information, see the Associating Devices to an End User section in the "End User Configuration"
chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Cisco Unified IP Phones Installation
After you have added the phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, you can complete
the phone installation. You (or the phone user) can install the phone at the location of the user.
Note
Upgrade the phone with the current firmware image before you install the phone. For information about
upgrading, see the Readme file for your phone, located at:
http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/Redirect.x?mdfid=278875240
For instructions on upgrading the firmware, see the Release Notes, located at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10326/prod_release_notes_list.html
After the phone connects to the network, the phone startup process begins, and the phone registers with
Cisco Unified Communications Manager. To finish installing the phone, configure the network settings on
the phone depending on whether you enable or disable DHCP service.
If you used autoregistration, you need to update the specific configuration information for the phone such as
associating the phone with a user, changing the button table, or directory number.
