To mount Cisco IP Phone 7800 and 8800 Series Multiplatform Phones on the wall – webex
Mounting a phone to the wall with the help of a wall mount kit is an option in locations where there are no desks available, such as in kitchens or conference rooms. Make sure you have the appropriate wall mount kit for each kind of phone you have.
Wall Mount Kits
Each wall mount is specific to the model of your phone and cannot be used for any other type of phone. You will need to acquire the wall mount kit designed specifically for your phone if you intend to install it on a wall.
Refer to the data sheets for each model of phone for the part numbers and any other extra information:
To determine which model of a multiplatform phone you have, go to the Applications menu, then click Status, and finally pick Product information. The Model number field displays the model of your phone.
Wall Mount Components
A wall mount kit can be attached to almost any surface, including concrete, brick, or any other surface with a similar texture. However, the components of your wall mount kit can only be installed into drywall. You will need to acquire the right screws and anchors in order to put your phone on other surfaces.
Before beginning the installation of your kit, it is important to double check that you have all of the necessary components. Utilize the table and the diagram to verify the components that come with your wall mount kit for each individual phone type.

Install a Spare Wall Mount Kit
Before you begin installing your wall mount kit, check to see that there is a nearby location with a functional Ethernet connection. In the event that the connector is obscured by the phone, the connector must either be flush with the wall or recessed into the wall.
Proceed through the remaining steps of your installation in the following order:
-
- Place the wall bracket on the wall and secure it.
- Put the phone in its holder using the phone bracket.
- Put the cables into the phone where they belong.
- Fasten the phone to the bracket that is mounted on the wall.
Attach the Wall Bracket to the Wall
When mounting the bracket to the wall, you should refer to the proper illustration because each wall mount kit is slightly different from the next.
Earlier than you start, make sure you have one of each of the following:
-
- Phillips-head screwdriver with a number 2 blade.
- Level
- Pencil
1. Place the bracket against the wall with the arrow pointing in the direction of the ceiling.
2. Make sure that the bracket is level by using the level to check it.
3. Mark the locations of the screw holes using a pencil.
4. To secure the anchor to the wall, position it so that the pencil mark is in the center of it, and then use a screwdriver with a Phillips-head #2 bit. Turn the anchor’s screw driver in a clockwise direction as you drive it into the wall until it is flush.
5. Attach the bracket to the wall by inserting the anchors and fastening them in place with the Phillips-head screwdriver and the screws that came with the bracket.
Examples of a Wall Bracket Attached to a Wall
The diagram below displays how to attach a wall bracket for a Cisco IP Phone 7800 or 8800 series to a wall.
The following diagram illustrates attaching a Cisco IP Phone 8800 series wall bracket with a key expansion module to a wall.
The following diagram illustrates step 2 to step 5 of attaching a Cisco IP Phone 8845 and 8865 series wall bracket to a wall.
Attach the Phone Bracket to the Phone
Putting a phone on a wall bracket requires first attaching the phone bracket to the phone itself. The weight of the phone is supported by the phone bracket, which is attached to the wall bracket and holds the phone in place. Check to see that the phone bracket is firmly fastened to your device before using it. Because every phone is a little bit different, you should look at the relevant example to learn how to do something.
Before you begin
Obtain a screwdriver with a Phillips head of size 1.
1. Make sure that the cord for the handset or the cords for the headset are still attached, but remove any other wires that are attached to the phone base.
2. Secure the phone to the bracket using the provided screws. Simply slide the mounting tabs on the back of the phone into the corresponding slots on the bracket.
3. Using the Phillips head screwdriver with the number one tip, attach the phone bracket to the phone using either the self-tapping screws or the machine screws.

Attach the Cables to the Phone
Put the Cables in the Phone Where They Belong.
Before you mount your phone on the wall, make sure that the phone cords are attached to the device.
1. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the wall jack and the other end into the 10/100/1000 SW network port.
2. (Optional) Connect the wire to the 10/100/1000 computer port that is labeled “PC access.”
3. Insert the power cable into the phone, and then secure the cord in the clamps located next to the PC connector. This step is optional.
Connect the wires to the jacks, if necessary, if the cables terminate inside the wall bracket. This step is optional.
Join the Telephone to the Mounting Bracket on the Wall.
After you have mounted your wall bracket on the wall, you will then attach your phone to the wall bracket using the phone bracket that was previously attached to your phone. Check to see that the phone can be mounted on the wall bracket without any problems. Because every phone is a little bit different, you should look at the relevant example to learn how to do something.
1. Place the tabs that are located on the top of the wall bracket into the slots that are located on the phone bracket.
It is possible to insert cables that terminate outside of the brackets in the apertures on the bottom of the brackets, with one cable being positioned in each opening.
2.Slide the phone down while firmly pressing it onto the wall bracket on the opposite side of the wall. The bracket’s tabs are now securely fastened into place.

The diagram that follows provides an illustration of how to mount a Cisco IP Phone from either the 7800 or 8800 series to your wall bracket.
The following diagram illustrates how to attach a Cisco IP Phone 8845 and 8865 to your wall bracket.
The following diagram illustrates how to attach a Cisco IP Phone 8800 series with a key expansion module to your wall bracket.
Remove the Phone from the Wall Mount Kit
The phone mounting plate can be secured to the wall bracket using the two tabs that are located on the wall bracket. Before you are able to remove the phone from the wall mount kit, you will first need to detach these tabs. Because every phone is a little bit different, you should look at the relevant example to learn how to do something.
Obtain two screwdrivers with a Phillips head or other similar devices that have a diameter of 5 millimeters, which is equivalent to 3/16 of an inch, before you begin.
1. Place an object, such as a screw driver or another tool, into the holes on the left and right sides of the phone mounting plate. Insert to a depth of around 3/4 of an inch, which is approximately 2 cm.
2. Apply a forceful pressure in the opposite direction to disengage the tabs.
3. Raise the phone up to dislodge it from the wall bracket, and then bring it closer to you as you do so.
Exemplifications of how to disable the locking tabs
The Cisco IP Phone 7800 and 8800 series both have locking tabs that can be disabled by following the instructions in the following diagram.
The following diagram shows how to disengage the locking tabs on the Cisco IP Phone 8800 series with a key expansion module attached.
Adjust the Handset Rest on Your Phone
There is a little tab that can be removed from the phone cradle that comes standard with every Cisco IP Phone. The position of the phone handset in the cradle can be adjusted using this tab. It’s possible that you’ll need to alter how the handset sits on this tab if your phone is mounted on the wall or if it’s too easy for the handset to remove itself from the cradle.
Before you get started
Find a coin or another object with a thickness of around 1.75 millimeters or 0.069 inches and use that.
- Take the handset out of its place in the cradle. Put the coin’s edge in the gap that exists between the handset rest and the plastic tab. Simply remove the tab by spinning the coin swiftly in a counterclockwise direction.
- Rotate the tab through 180 degrees so that the ridge is facing in the direction of the user and the smooth back is facing down.
- Cradle the tab in your palm with the corner notches pointing toward you. Hold it between two fingers.
- Place the tab in the cradle so that it is aligned with the slot, and then press the tab evenly into the slot. A protrusion may be seen protruding from the highest point of the turned tab.
- Place the handset back onto the rest for the handset.
