Deployment and Configuration Checklist
Table 2-2 is designed to give you an overview all of the administrative tasks
involved in preparing for, deploying, and configuring Cisco IP Communicator.
The table is broken into three sections:
• Gathering information and adding devices to Cisco CallManager
• Configuring features and settings in Cisco CallManager Administration
• Deploying and configuring the Cisco IP Communicator application
Some of the tasks in the table are not specific to Cisco IP Communicator, but
apply to any Cisco CallManager-supported phone device. Required tasks are
noted.
Note In general, it is preferable to configure the settings in Cisco CallManager
Administration before deploying Cisco IP Communicator to ensure that features
are set up properly for the user at first launch and will remain consistent thereafter.
