3. Click Save.

4. From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration page, from the menu select Device > Phones and click add new button.

5. For the phone type select Third Party SIP Device (basic), and click Next.

6. On the Phone configuration page, use the following parameters:

11. On your laptop, run the X-Lite IP Phone application, and configure the X-Lite to use the following parameters:

The X-Lite Phone will register and login with the Communications Manager.
