Phone Startup Verification

Phone Startup Verification
After the Cisco Unified IP Phone has power connected to it, the phone begins the startup diagnostic process,
by cycling through the following steps.
1 The Feature and Sessions buttons flash amber and then green in sequence during the various stages of
bootup as the phone checks the hardware.
2 The main screen displays Registering to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
If the phone completes these stages successfully, it has started up properly and the Select button stays lit until
it is selected.

Network Settings

If you are not using DHCP in your network, you must configure these network settings on the Cisco Unified
IP Phone after you install the phone on the network:
• IP address
• IP subnet information
• IPv6 addresses
• TFTP server IP address
If necessary, you may also configure the domain name and the DNS server settings.

Cisco Unified IP Phone Security

The security features protect against several threats, including threats to the identity of the phone and to data.
These features establish and maintain authenticated communication streams between the phone and the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager server, and ensure that the phone uses only digitally signed files.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.5(1) and later includes Security by Default, which provides
the following security features for Cisco Unified IP Phones without running the CTL client:
• Signing of the phone configuration files
• Phone configuration file encryption
• HTTPS with Tomcat and other Web services
Note Secure signaling and media features still require you to run the CTL client and use hardware eTokens.
For more information about the security features, see the related topics and the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Security Guide.
A Locally Significant Certificate (LSC) installs on phones after you perform the necessary tasks that are
associated with the Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF). You can use Cisco Unified Communications
