OL-23091-01
Preface
Overview
Cisco Unified IP Phone Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.6 (SCCP 
and SIP) provides the information you need to understand, install, configure, manage, and troubleshoot 
the phones on a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) network.
Because of the complexity of an IP telephony network, this guide does not provide complete and detailed 
information for procedures that you need to perform in Cisco Unified Communications Manager or other 
network devices. See 
Related Documentation, page xii
for a list of related documentation.
Audience
Network engineers, system administrators, or telecom engineers should review this guide to learn the 
steps required to properly set up the Cisco Unified IP Phones on the network.
The tasks described are administration-level tasks and are not intended for end users of the phones. Many 
of the tasks involve configuring network settings and affect the phone’s ability to function in the 
network.
Because of the close interaction between the Cisco Unified IP Phones and Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager, many of the tasks in this manual require familiarity with Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager.
