To set up a Cisco IP phone with CloudTalk, the phone needs to be freshly "out of the box" or factory resetted (all previous files and set-up needs to be removed).


Generic factory reset procedure for most Cisco IP phones:


1. Press and hold #, power cycle the phone.


2. when a LED starts to flash, release #, and enter:


- Soft Reset (delete files): 123456789*0#
- Hard Reset (format flash): 3491672850*#

The phone will display Upgrading and erase its configuration.
If soft reset doesn't work, try a hard reset.

Log in to the phone Web Interface:

c. Scroll to view Current IP. This is the IP address of your phone.

(OR - Press the Setup button, Enter 110, then press #. The IP address is recited - with older firmware)

2. On your PC, open Internet Explorer.

3. Enter the IP address in the browser’s toolbar
