Cisco Unified CallManager, is an open and industry-standard call processing
system, and runs on a Windows 2000 server and sets up and tears down calls
between phones and integrates traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP
network. Cisco Unified CallManager manages the components of the IP
telephony system—the phones, the access gateways, and the resources that are
necessary for such features as call conferencing and route planning.
For information about configuring Cisco Unified CallManager to work with the
IP devices that are described in this chapter, refer to Cisco Unified CallManager
Administration Guide, Cisco Unified CallManager System Guide, and to Cisco
Unified IP Phone Authentication and Encryption for Cisco
Unified CallManager 4.0(1).
