Providing Users with Feature Information

If you are a system administrator, you are likely the primary source of information for Cisco Unified IP
Phone users in your network or company. To ensure that you distribute the most current feature and
procedural information, familiarize yourself with Cisco Unified IP Phone documentation. Make sure to
visit the Cisco Unified IP Phone web site:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/tsd_products_support_series_home.html
From this site, you can view access various user guides.
In addition to providing documentation, it is important to inform users of available Cisco Unified IP
Phone features—including those specific to your company or network—and of how to access and
customize those features, if appropriate.
For a summary of some of the key information that phone users need their system administrators to
provide, see

Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones

Implementing security in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager system prevents identity theft of
the phone and Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, prevents data tampering, and prevents
call signaling and media stream tampering.
To alleviate these threats, the Cisco Unified IP telephony network establishes and maintains
authenticated and encrypted communication streams between a phone and the server, digitally signs files
before they are transferred to a phone, and encrypts media streams and call signaling between
Cisco Unified IP phones.
