Cisco Unified IP Phones and Your Network

Phone and Network Overview

Cisco Unified IP Phones enable you to communicate by using voice over a data network. To provide this
capability, the Cisco Unified IP Phones depend upon and interact with several other key Cisco Unified IP
Telephony components, including Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
This chapter focuses on the interactions between the Cisco Unified IP Phones and Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, DNS, DHCP, and TFTP servers, and switches. It also describes options for
powering phones.

This chapter provides an overview of the interaction between the Cisco Unified IP Phones and other key
components of the Voice over IP (VoIP) network.

Cisco Unified Communications Product Interactions

To function in the IP telephony network, the Cisco Unified IP Phone must connect to a networking device,
such as a Cisco Catalyst switch. You must also register the Cisco Unified IP Phones with a Cisco
Unified Communications Manager system before sending and receiving calls.

    Trust List file that contains a certificate assigned to Cisco Unified Communications Manager and TFTP. If autoregistration is not enabled and you did not add the phone to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, the phone system rejects the phone registration request with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

    Obtain an IP address If the Cisco Unified IP Phone is using DHCP to obtain an IP address, the phone queries the DHCP server to obtain one. If your network does not use DHCP, you must assign static IP addresses to each phone locally.
  • Page 7 Phone Startup Process In addition to assigning an IP address, the DHCP server directs the Cisco Unified IP Phone to a TFTP Server. If the phone has a statically defined IP address, you must configure the TFTP server locally on the phone; the phone then contacts the TFTP server directly.

    Cisco Unified Communications Manager Phone Addition Methods Before installing the Cisco Unified IP Phones, you must choose a method for adding phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. The following table provides an overview of these methods for adding phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
  • Page 9: Autoregistration And Taps Phone Addition

    Note Cisco recommends that you use autoregistration to add fewer than 100 phones to your network. To add more than 100 phones to your network, use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). Autoregistration is disabled by default. In some cases, you might not want to use autoregistration; for example, if you want to assign a specific directory number to the phone.
