Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones Understanding Security Profiles All Cisco Unified IP Phones that support Cisco Unified Communications Manager use a security profile, which defines whether the phone is nonsecure, authenticated, or encrypted. For information about configuring the security profile and applying the profile to the phone, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.
A protected call is established when your phone, and the phone on the other end, is configured for protected calling. The other phone can be in the same Cisco IP network, or on a network outside the IP network. Protected calls can only be made between two phones. Conference calls and other multiple-line calls are not supported.

(CDP) to identify each other and determine parameters such as VLAN allocation and inline power requirements. However, CDP is not used to identify any locally attached PCs; therefore, Cisco Unified IP Phones provide an EAPOL pass-through mechanism, whereby a PC locally attached to the IP phone, may pass through EAPOL messages to the 802.1X authenticator in the LAN switch.
Enabled—If you are using a switch that supports multi-domain authentication, you can enable – the PC port and connect a PC to it. In this case, Cisco Unified IP Phones support proxy EAPOL-Logoff to monitor the authentication exchanges between the switch and the attached PC.
When deploying a new IP telephony system, system administrators and network administrators must complete several initial configuration tasks to prepare the network for IP telephony service.

If Cisco Unified Communications Manager has been configured to use G.722 (G.722 is enabled by default for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7942G) and if the far endpoint supports G.722, the call can connect using the G.722 codec in place of G.711. This situation occurs regardless of whether the user has enabled a wideband headset or wideband handset, but if either the headset or handset is enabled, the user may notice greater audio sensitivity during the call.

Cleaning the Cisco Unified IP Phone, page 9-17 • Resolving Startup Problems After installing a Cisco Unified IP Phone into your network and adding it to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the phone should start up as described in the Verifying the Phone Startup Process, page 3-13.
Symptom: The Cisco Unified IP Phone Does Not Go Through its Normal Startup Process When you connect a Cisco Unified IP Phone into the network port, the phone should go through its normal startup process as described in Verifying the Phone Startup Process, page 3-13 and the LCD screen should display information.
Checking Network Connectivity If the network is down between the phone and the TFTP server or Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the phone cannot start up properly. Ensure that the network is currently running.
If the Cisco CallManager service is not running, all devices on the network that rely on it to make phone calls will be affected. If the TFTP service is not running, many devices will not be able to start up successfully.
Registering the Phone with Cisco Unified Communications Manager A Cisco Unified IP Phone can register with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server only if the phone has been added to the server or if auto-registration is enabled. Review the information and...
Verifying the Physical Connection Verify that the Ethernet connection to which the Cisco Unified IP Phone is connected is up. For example, check whether the particular port or switch to which the phone is connected is down and that the switch is not rebooting.
Verify the DHCP lease duration. Cisco recommends that you set it to 8 days. Cisco Unified IP Phones send messages with request type 151 to renew their DHCP address leases. If the DHCP server expects messages with request type 150, the lease will be denied, forcing the phone to restart and request a new IP address from the DHCP server.
Use the same TFTP server used for other functioning Cisco Unified IP Phones. On the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, verify that the local host files have the correct Step 3 Cisco Unified Communications Manager server name mapped to the correct IP address.

Verify the following: The Ethernet cable is attached.
• Performing a Basic Reset Performing a basic reset of a Cisco Unified IP Phone provides a way to recover if the phone experiences an error and provides a way to reset or restore various configuration and security settings. Table 9-4 describes the ways to perform a basic reset.
Unified IP Phone. The QRT feature is installed as part of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation. You can configure users’ Cisco Unified IP Phones with QRT. When you do so, users can report problems with phone calls by pressing the QRT softkey. This softkey is available only when the Cisco Unified IP Phone is in the Connected, Connected Conference, Connected Transfer, and/or OnHook states.
Services Guide. Monitoring the Voice Quality of Calls To measure the voice quality of calls that are sent and received within the network, Cisco Unified IP Phones use these statistical metrics that are based on concealment events. The DSP plays concealment frames to mask frame loss in the voice packet stream.
Monitoring the Voice Quality of Calls MOS LQK scores can vary based on the codec that the Cisco Unified IP Phone uses. The following codecs on the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7962G and 7942G provide these maximum MOS LQK scores under normal conditions with zero frame loss: •...
Cleaning the Cisco Unified IP Phone To clean your Cisco Unified IP phone, use only a dry soft cloth to gently wipe the phone and the LCD screen. Do not apply liquids or powders directly on the phone. As with all non-weather-proof electronics, liquids and powders can damage the components and cause failures.
