To function in the IP telephony network, the IP Conference Station must be
connected to a networking device, such as a Cisco Catalyst switch, in order to
obtain network connectivity. The IP Conference Station must also be registered
with a Cisco CallManager system in order to make and receive calls.
Cisco CallManager is an open and industry-standard call processing system.
Cisco CallManager software runs on a Windows 2000 server and sets up and tears
down calls between phones, integrating traditional PBX functionality with the
corporate IP network. Cisco CallManager manages the components of the
IP telephony system, the conference stations, the phones, access gateways, and
the resources necessary for such features as call conferencing and route planning.
For information about configuring Cisco CallManager to work with the IP devices
described in this chapter, refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide
and the Cisco CallManager System Guide.
When connecting to the VoIP network, the IP Conference Station goes through a
standard startup process.
