Feature Overview
Cisco Unified IP Phones provide traditional telephony functionality, 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 7905G and 7912G support, see
Chapter 5, “Configuring Telephony
Features.”
Like other network devices, you must configure the Cisco Unified IP Phones to
prepare them to access Cisco Unified CallManager and the rest of the IP network.
Using DHCP, you have fewer settings to modify, but you can choose to assign a
static IP if your network requires it. For instructions on configuring the network
settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phones, see
Chapter 4, “Configuring Settings on
the Cisco Unified IP Phone.”
Because the Cisco Unified IP Phone is a network device, you can obtain detailed
status information about it. This information can assist you in troubleshooting
problems that users might encounter when using their IP phones. See
Chapter 7,
“Troubleshooting the Cisco Unified IP Phone” for tips on using this information.
