Using the SPA932 (Sidecar) with the SPA962
The SPA932 is a 32-button attendant console for the SPA962. Each SPA932 unit provides 32
programmable speed-dial or direct station select (DSS) buttons, Each lighted button indicates line status
(idle, ringing, busy, or null) using a busy lamp field (BLF). Incoming calls can be immediately
transferred to the proper location by pushing a button assigned to the extension on the SPA932. Two
SPA932 units can be attached to a single SPA962 to monitor a total of 64 separate lines.
To configure the server to use the SPA932, configure each extension that will be monitored by the
SPA932. The SPA932 is a SIP subscriber in relation to each SIP proxy server, which allows the SPA932
to receive NOTIFY messages from the SIP proxy that indicate the status of each monitored phone. In
general, the SIP proxy is identified by its IP address, or possibly through a hostname if DNS is properly
configured. The way in which each phone and extension is identified is vendor-specific.
To complete the configuration required to use the SPA932, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Complete the physical installation of the SPA932 unit, which connects it to the SPA962.
For instructions regarding the physical installation of the SPA932 and an introduction to its use, refer to
the 32 Button Attendant Console for the SPA962 IP Phone Quick Installation Guide.
