versions on the phone.

phone, see Chapter 5, “Configuring Network Settings on the Cisco IP Phone” and
Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting the Cisco IP Phone.”
Providing Users with Feature Information
If you are a system administrator, you are likely the primary source of information
for Cisco IP Phone users in your network or company. To ensure that you
distribute the most current feature and procedural information, familiarize
yourself with Cisco IP Phone documentation. Be sure to visit the Cisco IP Phone
web site:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_ipphon/index.htm.
From this site, you can view and order various user guides, including wallet cards.

In addition to providing documentation, it is important to inform users of
available Cisco IP Phone features—including those specific to your company or
network—and how to access and customize those features, if appropriate.
For a summary of some of the key information that phone users need their system
administrators to provide, see the “Providing Information to End Users” section
