Preface

Overview

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0
(SCCP and SIP) provides the information you need to understand, install, configure, manage, and
troubleshoot the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G on a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) network.
Because of the complexity of an IP telephony network, this guide does not provide complete and
detailed information for procedures that you need to perform in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager (Cisco Unified CM) or other network devices.

Audience

Network engineers, system administrators, or telecom engineers should review this guide to learn the
steps required to properly set up the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G on the network.
The tasks described are administration-level tasks and are not intended for phone end users. Many tasks
involve configuring network settings and affect the ability of the phone to function in the network.
Because of the close interaction between the Cisco Unified IP Phone and Cisco Unified CM, many of
the tasks in this manual require familiarity with Cisco Unified CM.
