Cisco Small Business SPA300 Series, SPA500 Series, and WIP310 IP Phone Administration Guide
The Cisco IP phone firmware provides specific privileges for login to a user
account and an administrator account. The Administrator account name is admin,
and the User account name is user. These account names cannot be changed. The
Admin account is designed to give the service provider or VAR configuration
access to the Cisco IP phone, while the User account is designed to give limited
and configurable control to the end user of the device.
The User and Admin accounts can be independently password protected. If the
service provider set an Administrator account password, you are prompted for it
when you click Admin Login. If it does not yet exist, the screen is refreshed,
displaying the administration parameters. No default passwords are assigned to
either the Administrator or the User accounts. Only the Administrator account can
assign or change passwords.
The Administrator account can view and modify all web profile parameters,
including web parameters available to the user login. The phone system
administrator can further restrict the parameters that a User account can view and
modify by using a provisioning profile.
The configuration parameters available to the User account are configurable in the
Cisco IP phone. User access to the Cisco IP phone web user interface can be
disabled.
Restricting User Access to the Phone Interface Menus
(Cisco SPA300 and Cisco SPA500 Series)
The Admin account can set the phone web user interface to allow or disable
access by the User account. Allowing User account access gives a user the
option of setting parameters, such as speed dial numbers and caller ID blocking
through the phone web user interface.
The ability to configure individual parameters can be restricted by using phone
profile provisioning. For more information on provisioning, see the
Business IP Telephony Devices Provisioning Guide
To change the user account access to the phone LCD GUI setup menu:
Click Admin Login > advanced > Voice > System.
Under System Configuration in the Phone-UI-user-mode field, choose yes.
