What Features are Supported on the Cisco Unified IP Phone
7965G and 7945G?

Transport Layer
Security (TLS)
TLS is a standard protocol for
securing and authenticating
communications.
When security is implemented, Cisco
Unified
IP Phones use the TLS
protocol when securely registering
with Cisco Unified
Communications
Manager.
Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP)
TFTP allows you to transfer files
over the network.
On the Cisco Unified IP Phone,
TFTP enables you to obtain a
configuration file specific to the
phone type.
TFTP requires a TFTP server in your
network, which can be automatically
identified from the DHCP server. If
you want a phone to use a TFTP
server other than the one specified by
the DHCP server, you must manually
assign TFTP server from the
Network Configuration menu on the
phone.
User Datagram Protocol
(UDP)
UDP is a connectionless messaging
protocol for delivery of data packets.
Cisco Unified IP Phones transmit and
receive RTP streams, which utilize
UDP.
