Feature Overview
Cisco Unified IP Phones provide core business features, such as call forwarding
and transferring, redialing, speed dialing, conference calling, and voice
messaging system access. Cisco Unified IP phones also provide a variety of other
features. For an overview of the telephony features that the
Cisco Unified IP Phone supports, see the “Telephony Features Available for the
Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 5-2.
As with other network devices, you must configure Cisco Unified IP Phones to
prepare them to access Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the rest of
the IP network. Using DHCP, you have fewer settings to configure on a phone, but
if your network requires it, you can manually configure an IP address, TFTP
server, and subnet mask. For instructions on configuring the network settings on
the Cisco Unified IP Phones, see Chapter 4, “Configuring Settings on the
Cisco Unified IP Phone.”
The Cisco Unified IP Phone can interact with other services and devices on your
IP network to provide enhanced functionality. For example, you can integrate the
Cisco Unified IP Phones with the corporate Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol 3 (LDAP3) standard directory to enable users to search for co-workers
contact information directly from their IP phones. Or, you can also use XML to
enable users to access information such as weather, stocks, quote of the day, and
other web-based information. For information about configuring such services,
see the “Configuring Corporate and Personal Directories” section on page 5-23
and the “Setting Up Services” section on page 5-25.
Finally, because the Cisco Unified IP Phone is a network device, you can obtain
detailed status information from it directly. This information can assist you with
troubleshooting any problems users might encounter when using their IP phones.
See Chapter 7, “Viewing Model Information, Status, and Statistics on the
Cisco Unified IP Phone,” for more information.
