# How to Set Up a Cisco IP phone

> A guide to setting up Cisco phones for use with CloudTalk

> [!NOTE]
>
> To use a Cisco IP phone with CloudTalk, the device must be either brand new (out of the box) or factory reset. All previous files and configurations need to be removed.

***

## Factory Reset (Most Cisco IP Phones)

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

2. When the LED starts flashing, release **#** and enter one of the following reset codes:

   * **Soft Reset (delete files):** `123456789*0#`

   * **Hard Reset (format flash):** `3491672850*#`

The phone will display **Upgrading** and erase its configuration.\
If the soft reset doesn’t work, try the hard reset.

## Find Your Phone’s IP Address

You’ll need the IP address to access the phone’s web interface.

**Cisco SPA series phones:**

1. Press the **Setup** button.

2. Scroll to **Network** and press **Select**.

3. Scroll to **Current IP** — this is your phone’s IP address.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Alternative method: Press **Setup**, enter `110`, then press **#**. The phone will announce the IP address — works on older firmware.

## Access the Web Interface

1. On your PC, open **Internet Explorer** (other browsers may not be fully supported).

2. Enter the phone’s **IP address** into the browser toolbar.

You’ll see four main tabs in the interface:

* **Voice** – Includes sub-tabs:

  * **Info**: System and phone information (read-only). Also allows configuring password and network settings.

  * **Phone**: Screen saver settings.

  * **User**: Call forwarding, speed dials, call waiting, privacy, and audio settings.

* **Call History** – Displays calls made and received.

* **Personal Directory** – Your phone address book.

* **Attendant Console Status** – For Cisco SPA 500S consoles (if installed).

## Configure CloudTalk Credentials

> **Important:** Features supported by the phone (e.g., speed dial, forwarding) must be configured manually in the phone’s interface.
