Home / Support / Cisco SPA-3 or 5 setup
Modified on October 11, 2021
This guide should work for most of the SPA3X and SPA5XX phones
Please login to the phone on the IP address. To find the IP please follow this guide
Step 1. Press the Paper button on the SPA504G to bring up the Setup menu.
Step 2. Press 3 or scroll down with the navigation keys to option 3 and press Select to bring up the Settings menu.
Step 3. Press 5 or scroll down with the navigation keys to option 5 and press Select to bring up the Network Configuration menu.
Step 4. Press 3 or scroll down with the navigation keys to option 3. This will display the current IP address for the SPA504G Phone.
Step 5. Connect your computer to the Cisco IP Phone using an Ethernet cable.
Step 6. Open up a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the phone. This will direct you to the web-based configuration utility.
Please upgrade to the latest firmware. Follow this link to search for your firmware https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/index.html
Once you have logged in please follow this
Please select Admin Login and advanced in the top right corner
These settings are up to you and your network but I recommend you password protect the web interface to stop users messing with settings:
* Enable web server = Yes
* Enable web Admin access = Yes
* Admin passwd: <your admin password here>
* User passwd: <your admin password here>
* Connection Type: DHCP
* Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
* Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4
* Primary NTP server: nz.pool.ntp.org
Change the following SIP Timer Values:
* Reg Max Expires = 600
* Reg Retry Intvl = 10
* Reg Retry Long Intvl = 20
This should allow the phone to recover from Internet issues more quickly and give MOS info in BYE messages (handy for troubleshooting)
STUN is not strictly needed but there should be no harm in enabling it.
You can leave auto-provisioning enabled if you like. No harm in leaving this turned on for now even if you are going to do manual provisioning.
If you are really keen then you can set the tones to standard NZ tones instead of the defaults. We don’t usually bother and stick with the default tones, but some people prefer to replicate Chorus NZ completely right down to the Dial/Busy Tones etc. It’s up to you. Here are the NZ tones anyway:

Troubleshooting
If you are having problems connecting to Kiwi VoIP or have problems with calls connecting/dropping or one-way audio then you may have a router/firewall device which is ‘interfering’ with the ‘SIP’ traffic causing problems for your phone You can try and use an alternate port number on Kiwi VoIP to get around this by changing the following settings in your configuration:
* SIP Port: 50600
* Proxy: sip.kiwivoip.co.nz:50600
* Outbound Proxy: sip.kiwivoip.co.nz:50600
This will cause the port number used for SIP traffic on both the phone and out to Kiwi VoIP to be ‘50600′ instead of ‘5060′ which is often enough to resolve the problems with interfering routers.
