Cisco Unified IP Phones
Cisco Unified IP Phones as full-featured telephones, can plug directly into your IP network. H.323
clients, CTI ports, and Cisco IP Communicator represent software-based devices that you configure
similarly to the Cisco Unified IP Phones. Cisco Unified CallManager Administration allows you to
configure phone features such as call forwarding and call waiting for your phone devices. You can also
create phone button templates to assign a common button configuration to a large number of phones.
After you have added the phones, you can associate users with them. By associating a user with a phone,
you give that user control over that device.

    Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 and Cisco TelePresence meeting connection functionality. As an example, the Cisco TelePresence IP Phone user interface displays a schedule of the meetings for the day and provides softkeys that are designed to enable and enhance the teleconference connections but then can be used during the video teleconference to add audio meeting participants or to make voice calls.
  • Page 10: Phone Button Templates

    Make sure that all phones have at least one line that is assigned to each phone. Normally, this assignment specifies button 1. Phones can have additional lines that are assigned, depending on the Cisco Unified IP Phone model. Phones also generally have several features, such as speed dial, that are assigned to the remaining buttons.
  • Page 11 These differences require different phone button templates for specific models. Each Cisco Unified IP Phone model comes with a default phone button template. You can use the default templates as is to quickly configure phones. You can also copy and modify the templates to create custom templates.
  • Page 12 Access phone features, such as abbreviated dial, call park, call forward, redial, hold, resume, call back, conferencing, and so on, by using softkeys on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7941. The Standard 7940 SIP template comes with a preconfigured one-line phone button template (button 1 for line 1 and button 2 for speed dial).
  • Page 13 2 for conference, button 3 for forwarding, buttons 4 and 5 for speed dial, and button 6 for redial. The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7910 includes fixed buttons for Line, Hold, Transfer, and Settings. The Standard 7906 SCCP template uses button 1 for line 1, makes button 2 configurable as the Privacy softkey (default specifies None), and assigns buttons 3 through 6 as speed dials.
  • Page 14 9 through 13 and 22 through 25 apply for speed dial; button 14 applies for message-waiting indicator, button 15 for forward, and button 16 for conference. For only the Cisco IP Phone model 30 SP+, assign button 26 Note for automatic echo cancellation (AEC).

    • Standard Manager • The default process does not assign a softkey template to the Cisco Unified IP Phone. The administrator Note must assign standard or nonstandard softkey templates to the Cisco Unified IP Phone by assigning the templates individually to each phone or by assigning the device pool to each phone.

  • Page 21: Methods For Adding Phones

    By enabling autoregistration before you begin installing phones, you can automatically add a Cisco Unified IP Phone to the Cisco Unified CallManager database when you connect the phone to your IP telephony network. For information on enabling autoregistration, refer to in the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.
  • Page 22 CallManager Features and Services Guide. Call Forward Call forward allows a user to configure a Cisco Unified IP Phone, so all calls that are destined for it ring another phone. The following types of call forward exist: Call forward all—Forwards all calls.
  • Page 23 Chapter 43 Cisco Unified IP Phones Cisco Unified CallManager provides a service parameter (CFA Destination Override) that allows the administrator to override Call Forward All (CFA) when the target of the CFA calls the initiator of the CFA, so the CFA target can reach the initiator for important calls. In other words, when the user to whom calls are being forwarded (the target) calls the user whose calls are being forwarded (the initiator), the phone of the initiator rings instead of the call being forwarded back to the target.
  • Page 24 In the existing implementation, if user B has an active call on a particular line (from user A) and user B has not reached the maximum number of calls on this line, the Cisco Unified IP Phone provides a Transfer softkey to user B. If user B presses the Transfer softkey (or Transfer button, if available) once, user B receives dial tone and can make a secondary call: user B dials the number of a third-party (user C).
  • Page 25 As system administrator, you enable QRT functionality by creating, configuring, and assigning a softkey template to associate the QRT softkey on a user IP phone. You can choose from two different user modes, depending upon the level of user interaction that you want with QRT. You then define how the feature will work in your system by configuring system parameters and setting up Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability tools.
  • Page 26 Phone Features When users experience problems with their IP phones, they can report the type of problem and other relevant statistics by pressing the QRT softkey on the Cisco Unified IP Phone during one of the following call states: Connected •...
  • Page 27: Phone Association

    When the user configures up to 99 speed-dial entries, part of the speed-dial entries can get assigned to the speed-dial buttons on the IP phone; the remaining speed-dial entries get used for abbreviated dialing. When a user starts dialing digits, the AbbrDial softkey displays, and the user can access any speed-dial entry by entering the appropriate index.
