Making And Receiving Secure Calls; Tracing Suspicious Calls - Cisco 7961G Phone Manual

Making and Receiving Secure Calls

Depending on how your system administrator has configured your phone system, your phone might
support making and receiving secure calls.
Your phone is capable of supporting these types of calls:
• Authenticated call—The identities of all phones participating in the call have been verified.
• Encrypted call—The phone is receiving and transmitting encrypted audio (your conversation)
within the Cisco IP network. Encrypted calls are also authenticated.
• Non-secure call—At least one of the participating phones or the connection does not support these
security features, or the phones cannot be verified.

Tracing Suspicious Calls

(SCCP phones only)
If you are receiving suspicious or malicious calls, your system administrator can add the Malicious Call
Identification (MCID) feature to your phone. This feature enables you to identify an active call as
suspicious, which initiates a series of automated tracking and notification messages.
If you want to...
Notify your system
administrator about a
suspicious or harassing call
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and 7941G/7941G-GE for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0
Then...
Look for a security icon in the top right corner of the call
activity area, next to the call duration timer:
Authenticated call or conference
Encrypted call or conference
Non-secure call or conference
Contact your system administrator.
Then...
Press MCID or Malicious Call Trace .
Your phone plays a tone and displays the message, "MCID successful."
