Cisco IP Phones provide traditional telephony functionality, such as call forwarding and transferring, redialing,
speed dialing, conference calling, and voice messaging system access. Cisco IP Phones also provide a variety
of other features.
As with other network devices, you must configure Cisco IP Phones to prepare them to access Cisco Unified
