Cisco IP Phones
Cisco IP Phones as full-featured telephones can plug directly into your IP
network. H.323 clients, CTI ports, and Cisco IP Communicator comprise
software-based devices that you configure similarly to the Cisco IP Phones.
Cisco CallManager Administration allows you to configure phone features such
as call forwarding and call waiting for your phone devices. You can also create
phone button templates to assign a common button configuration to a large
number of phones.
After you have added the phones, you can associate users with them. By
associating a user with a phone, you give that user control over that device.
