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
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.
