Cisco Unified Communications Manager is an open and industry-standard call
processing system. Cisco Unified Communications Manager software sets up and
tears down calls between phones, integrating traditional PBX functionality with
the corporate IP network. Cisco Unified Communications Manager manages the
components of the Cisco Unified Communications system—the phones, the
access gateways, and the resources necessary for features such as call
conferencing and route planning. Cisco Unified Communications Manager also
provides authentication and encryption if configured for the communications
system.
For information about configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager to
work with the IP devices described in this chapter, refer to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager System Guide, and Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Security Guide.
