Protocol (SCCP) support IPv6. Cisco Unified IP Phones with SIP do not support IPv6. Cisco Unified IP Phones do not support URLs with IPv6 addresses in the URL. This affects all IP Phone Service URLs, including services, directories, messages, help, and any restricted web services that require the phone to use the HTTP protocol to validate the credentials with the Authentication URL.
With other network devices, you must configure Cisco Unified IP Phones to prepare them to access Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the rest of the IP network. By using DHCP, you have fewer settings to configure on a phone, but if your network requires it, you can manually configure an IP address, TFTP server, subnet information, and so on.
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.

EAPOL-Logoff mechanism. In the event that the locally attached PC disconnects from the Cisco Unified IP Phone, the LAN switch does see the physical link fail, because the link between the LAN switch and the Cisco Unified IP Phone is maintained. To avoid compromising network integrity, the IP Phone sends an EAPOL-Logoff message to the switch on behalf of the downstream PC, which triggers the LAN switch to clear the authentication entry for the downstream PC.
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. For information and a checklist for setting up and configuring a complete Cisco IP telephony network, see System Configuration Overview in Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Some tasks are optional, depending on your system and user needs. For detailed procedures and information, see the sources in the list. Cisco Unified IP Phone Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.6 (SCCP and SIP) 1-22...

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.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance This chapter provides information that can assist you in troubleshooting problems with your Cisco Unified IP Phone or with your IP telephony network. It also explains how to clean and maintain your phone. For additional troubleshooting information, see the Using the 79xx Status Information For Troubleshooting tech note.
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 3-14 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.

Verify the DHCP lease duration. We recommend that you set the lease duration 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 renewal is denied, forcing the phone to restart and request a new IP address from the DHCP server.
From Cisco Unified Communications Manager, choose Device > Phone > Find and verify that you have Step 5 assigned the correct MAC address to this Cisco Unified IP Phone. For information about determining a MAC address, see Determining the MAC Address for a Cisco Unified IP Phones, page 2-13.

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.
Providing Information to Users Via a Website 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. It is important to provide current and thorough information to end users.
Cisco website, Cisco recommends that you provide links to the current documentation. If you do not want to or cannot send users to the Cisco website, Cisco suggests that you download the PDF files and provide them to end users on your website.
The eLearning tutorials are updated periodically and therefore might not contain the latest feature Note information for end users. For the latest feature information, end users should see the Cisco Unified IP Phone end users user guide specific to their phone model and Cisco Unified Communications Manager version.
