Phone Setup
Typically, your administrator sets up your phone and connects it to the network. If your phone is not set up
and connected, contact your administrator for instructions.
Connect to the Network
You need to connect the phone to the telephone network.
• Wired connection—The phone is plugged into the network using an Ethernet cable.
• Wireless connection—The Cisco IP Phone 6861 Multiplatform Phones connect to a Wireless Access
Point using Wi-Fi. You need an SSID, security settings, username, and password to connect to the wireless
network. For more information, see Wi-Fi Settings, on page 80.
Set a Password on Initial Phone Boot Up
The first time your phone boots up, you may be prompted to set a password. If you are not prompted, your
administrator has created a password for you.
Procedure
Step 1 Enter your password in the New password and Reenter new password fields.
Step 2 Press Save.
Sign into Your Extension from Another Phone (Extension
Mobility)
If extension mobility is configured, you can sign into a different phone in your network and have it act the
same as your phone. After you sign in, the phone adopts your personal directory number.
Before you begin
Your administrator configures provisioning authority.
Procedure
Step 1 Press Sign in.
Step 2 Enter your username and password, then press Sign in.
The password field allows two input methods: alphanumeric and numeric. While you type in the password,
you see the Options softkey on the phone. Use this softkey to change the current password input type. Select
